new blues guitar download

23 pages of 12-bar blues grooves and turnarounds etc, with a demo solo and some scales for good measure, all carefully considered and put together in a progressive order. The favourite keys are covered in various styles, giving you some good and typical blues rhythm 'vamps' to accompany 12-bar blues. For teachers it offers good lesson material presented in a logical order. This material has been tried and tested with many students over many years by experienced Registered Guitar Tutors.

Ozark 12-string guitars:

we are so pleased with the quality of these guitars that we bought one for ourselves - there are two more in stock. At £275 with a fitted hard case, this is quite a bargain.  Once these two have sold, there won't be any more - certainly not at this price.
Visit GandA Music at 8A Chinns Court between 10am & 4pm on a Thursday or call 01985 211786.

Music shop in Warminster

Since our friends at Acre Music closed for business, 8A Chinns Court in Warminster began hosting a music shop open to the public on one day a week from Spring this year.
GandA Music has been supplying music bits & pieces, including strings, sheet music and instruments, for 20 years.  Although this has been mainly a specialist operation for music teachers and other professionals, the service now includes restringing & other basic set-ups.  It is open from 10am to 4pm every Thursday, & also by appointment. See www.gandamusic.co.uk for a few more details.

Mandolins

Mandolins seem to be flavour of the month at the moment.  As Ozark main dealers for mandolins (and similar fretted instruments) we have had some great mandolins in stock recently, and not one of them has gathered dust. We have several happy new mandolin owners, as AlnRay clients and as customers of the Chinns Court GandA Music shop.

New downloads on the way

For those of you who enjoyed the blues fingerpicking download, watch the website for two selections of fingerpicking tunes that also teach you how to make your own arrangements while you learn to play.

Also Ray & Al have been busy putting together a unique chord playing book to be called something like "Chord Playing for the Impatient Guitarist" to enable you to learn to move smoothly between chord changes. This will be available as a download very soon.
