Hey folks,
I put a song up on our forums about how to improv. I know many of you consider yourselves intermediate guitarists, but if you’re not, this is a great way to start learning how to play lead guitar. Even if you are a bit more advanced, it never hurts to brush up. Post your audio responses, we’d love to hear your style!
You can find the song here -
Play on!

Long-term care workers are among the most highly stressed employees in the modern health care economy, but their dissatisfaction, burnout, and high turnover may have a solution in one of humanity’s oldest activities.
Researchers found that a specific recreational music making program drastically reduced employee burnout and mood disturbances, with huge projected economic benefits for the long-term healthcare industry. A study conducted by the Meadville, Pennsylvania-based Mind-Body Wellness Center saw 112 employees at the Westbury United Methodist Retirement Community in Meadville participate in group drumming and digital piano exercises, as well as movement, breathing, and imagery exercises. After the program many reported an increased sense of group nurturing and heightened interpersonal awareness.
