Canadian Guitar Competition

August 10, 2012 By Alex

So I just got back from Ontario yesterday where I was competing in the Canadian Guitar Competition and I am very excited to be able to say that I placed 3rd. The Canadian Guitar Competition is held annually in conjunction with the Canadian Guitar Festival where you can catch some of the finest fingerstyle guitarists performing, hang out on Loughborough Lake and meet tons of other fingerstyle guitar fanatics. Needless to say it was both exciting and nerve racking to compete against many other great players. I would like to thank Del for putting on such a fabulous festival and hosting the competition and also the guys at Erikson Music for donating the prizes. I got to try out my Hagstrom guitar as soon as I got home and I love it. It sounds and plays great so I’m sure it will be a fine addition to my guitar collection, which seems to slowly but surely keep on growing.

On another note I’m well overdue to put up some recordings of more recent compositions that more accurately represent my playing as of now. I’m going to give a shot at the home recording thing so hang tight and hopefully I can figure it out and have some new pieces up on the music page soon. So make sure to check back and feel free to drop me a line on the contact page if you wish, I’m always eager to make new friends.

Update

June 29, 2012 By Alex

Hello everybody,

So Trent and I are a few shows into our BC tour and are looking forward to playing some more shows. You can find where we will be on my Shows page and if we come to a town near you we’d love to see you out there.

On another note I’ve added a TAB page for all you guitar players out there. One of the great things about the internet is it’s potential as an educational resource and as a musician I have learned a ton from all the information that is up on the web. So I in that spirit I figured I would post some of my favourite licks for you guys. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Tommy Emmanuel

October 23, 2011 By Alex

I revisited this youtube video of Tommy Emmanuel playing Amazing Grace recently and I thought it was worth sharing. Tommy is a powerhouse of a guitar player and one of my biggest influences when it comes to solo acoustic guitar playing.
