"2 Guitar DVDs You
Should Own"
Dear Advancing Guitarist,
I was lucky enough to have the world famous guitar
maker Paul Reed Smith show me how
to correctly adjust the truss rods plus set up the intonation and string height
on my guitars when I was in my early 20's living back in Annapolis, Maryland. I
was stunned at how much better I was able to play guitar and how much easier
everything I was playing became - literally overnight! My left hand wasn't
fighting the strings anymore and my playing sounded more legato and effortless!
Adjusting and setting up your own guitars is easy to do once you know how.
Professional luthier Denny Rauen will teach you how to correctly do this step by
step on his latest instructional DVDs. They are 2 of the most important DVDs any
guitar player could ever own! Highly recommended!!

Duck Baker - Versatile Fingerstyle Guitar Master!
Compiled & Edited By
Steven Herron
Duck Baker was born Richard R. Baker IV in
Washington, D.C. in 1949 and grew up in Richmond, Virginia. His teenage years
were devoted to playing with rock and blues bands before becoming interested
in fingerpicking guitar styles that he heard in local coffee houses. Ragtime pianist Buck Evans was a
major influence on Baker's developing interests, which by the time he moved
to San Francisco in 1973 included piano rags, blues, old-time country, Cajun,
bluegrass, and New Orleans jazz. This variety inspired the title of his first
solo record, "There's Something for Everyone in America," in 1976.
During the next 4 years, Duck Baker recorded several solo
guitar albums including one devoted to swing, one to modern jazz, and one to
Irish and Scottish tunes, and appeared on nine others. He also wrote a book
of fiddle tune arrangements for solo guitar and toured incessantly throughout America,
Canada, Europe and Australia. He changed addresses almost as frequently,
finally winding up in Europe for most of the '80s. He returned to San
Francisco in 1987 and finally to Virginia in 1991. Most of his more recent
solo recordings have featured his own compositions, an aspect of his work
that has drawn particular praise from other guitarists.
