Greetings!I'm a guy who plays lots of different instruments, but guitar is my main voice. Over many years of study and down many musical roads I've found there to be four levels in music - mechanical, analytical, emotional, spiritual. When all these ingrediants are mixed, you find yourself catching a wave that carries you much farther than you could ever swim.
I've been lots of places over the years. What a long strange - but good - trip it has been. From playing lap steel in biker bars in Texas, to playing fiddle on the stage of the Opry, to competing in the National Flatpicking Championships, to playing solo jazz guitar gigs, to classical piano composition, to playing mandolin on the stage of the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, to playing with a lot of people you've heard of and a lot more you haven't, to years and years of worship music, and much more I can't recall........
I've recently launched a web site - DeLoachMusic.com - on which I will have many materials (e.g. books, videos, etc.) available which I hope will assist many guitarists in becoming Master Guitarists. What is a Master Guitarist? It is simply a guitar player who has the ability to play the music that he or she is hearing in their heart. Whether that music is simple or complex is not important.
My first two books are now available. The first is titled "Play Skillfully - Moving Beyond The Horizon Of Creativity". The 384 page book contains an arpeggio, scale, mode fingering exercise that I play through almost everyday in about 45 minutes. This exercise draws of map of the entire fretboard which provides an endless number of options for improvistation, arranging, and composing. The book also contains a vast amount of insights on principles of musicianship as well as spiritual insights into playing the guitar.
The second book, Zamar Guitar, is a compilation of spiritual insights regarding music, guitar playing, and tapping into your full potential as a minstrel.
