How to be Creative in 7 steps

Reading this made me write this blog post.

1. Do stuff!

2. If it's the same as something you've seen/heard/experienced, change it a bit

3. If it bores you, do something else (unless you're fickle, then pick something, anything and complete it)

4. Finish stuff that you do and keep doing stuff

5. Don't judge, but learn from one project to the next

6. Have fun!

7. Repeat for the rest of your life =)

Awesome Capos in the mail!

I was very happy today to receive a wonderful package of awesome capos from the fine folks at G7th - The Capo Company!

I remember receiving my first two G7th Performance capos from Nick Campling, the inventor of these capos years ago & have been using them for shows since. I was very glad to hear from the company recently and was delighted to receive new capos including their newer designs. 

Stay tuned for new compositions using these capos soon! =)
