William 'Grit' Laskin is recognised the world over for having taken guitar inlay work beyond just decoration and into an artform of its own. If only for being inspired by the sheer skill and imagination involved, his work is worth checking out. But he's also known simply for the quality of his instruments, and for making significant contributions in the world of guitar and guitar making.

We all like something new, expressive, different, genuine. We can all also respect that artists need promotion. But if online spaces are creative outlets rather than just promotional tools, should we really drive our output on them with some kind of prescriptive digital marketing consultancy?

The Right Way To Play Guitar Is The Way That Works For You
Monday Apr 19, 2021
Monday Apr 19, 2021
Sometimes it's easy to get stuck in the mindset that there's a single 'right way' you need to be told to follow – from playing guitar to using gear to whatever else. It's usually when you're trying to figure something out or attain something in particular, and you end up just wanting an answer at a certain point. But it maybe isn't the most helpful or beneficial mindset for a few reasons, and it can take hearing from a great musician to reset your perspective.
