Whenever a student complains to me that playing the guitar is difficult, I show them this video. We never have that conversation again.
Do you have two arms and ten fingers? You're more than qualified to play guitar. C'mon over. http://www.atmosmusic.com/wordpress/online-guitar-lessons/

It has always been the Patrons of the Arts that have made the most significant impact on perpetuating art all around us.
You needn't be a pope, king or other member of aristocracy to fully fund the building of a theater or commission a symphony.
You can become a Patron with just $1.00 (or more if you want).
You now have the opportunity to fund the art that matter most to you. In return, you get exclusive access to the artist and their work, the making of said art and the chance to involve yourself in making art of your own.
I believe in this model and that's why I'm asking you to go to http://www.patreon.com/RobMichael and sign on to the level of patronage that suits you best.
It's a quick, easy and direct way to perpetuate the art that you love. I'm always making music and you can make certain that keeps happening.
There are a bunch of hip rewards set up to make it worth your while. Some of the rewards involve us hanging out right here on +Google+!

Sometimes (oftentimes?), the Good News and the Bad News are one-in-the-same.
Tldr; Persuing a music carreeer via a TV game show is like calling the purchase of lottery tickets the plan for your financial future.
“When I think about kids watching a TV show like American Idol or The Voice, then they think, ‘Oh, OK, that’s how you become a musician, you stand in line for eight fucking hours with 800 people at a convention center and… then you sing your heart out for someone and then they tell you it’s not fuckin’ good enough.’ Can you imagine?” he implores. “It’s destroying the next generation of musicians! Musicians should go to a yard sale and buy and old fucking drum set and get in their garage and just suck. And get their friends to come in and they’ll suck, too. And then they’ll fucking start playing and they’ll have the best time they’ve ever had in their lives and then all of a sudden they’ll become Nirvana. Because that’s exactly what happened with Nirvana. Just a bunch of guys that had some shitty old instruments and they got together and started playing some noisy-ass shit, and they became the biggest band in the world. That can happen again! You don’t need a fucking computer or the internet or The Voice or American Idol.” – Dave Grohl

From the +CD Baby Editor's Pick list is the album Bliss Attack by my friend +Matt Venuti
This features some music that I recorded with Matt near the turn of the century while weilding my Synth-equipped Strat playing funk grooves within a World/ Fusion soundscape.
You can dance if you want.
