Well it seems that Obama's campaign manager has the same name I do. I was getting emails everyday, I actual got someones resume Saturday from Australia.

Because of this I started to write under a pen name; Deadheaddave. If you do a google on that name you can find many of my videos and articles at other sites. I am submitting more stuff to different sites now, not just associated content.

Here's how to play Robert Johnson's "Crossroad's blues"

Hope all is well with everyone. I haven't been picken as much as I would like too. I'm taking this advanced stats class that is kicking my butt. I have had time to post a few videos though.

The first one is a banjo video showing how to play to classic banjo ending patterns: http://www.associatedcontent.com/video/29857/two_banjo_ending_patterns.html

The other video is how to play Robert Johnson's "Sweet Home Chicago"

Banjo Chords

I posted a short viedo on AC about some basic banjo chords. I did some picken at the beginning of the video. What was really cool is that this video was on the AC homepage, hopefully that will increase some traffic.

Berklee College of Music on-line

WOW-

Check this out. Berklee College of Music in Boston offers certificates in music ON-LINE! you can study guitar, bass, songwriting, production etc. All on-line.

I think I would rather attend classes just so you can experience some awsome jam sessions. But for an old man like me, this is not bad.

The Hungarian Minor

I love the Hungarian Minor Scale. Sometimes its its refered to as the gypsy scale or the harmonic minor raised 4th scale. Whatever it's called it is very Eastern European sounding and can add a very exotic sound to your playing.

Here is a video that I recorded explaining the scale on guitar:
