Smashing an irreplacable 1870 Martin (epic fail)

Hey so, I got a nice mini lesson for you today but I also wanted to share this (true) story.

Recently, Kurt Russell destroyed a priceless antique Martin guitar while filming "the Hateful eight".

Wasn't his fault though. Apparently Martin lent the film crew a genuine 1870 six-string from the Martin Guitar Museum.

He was supposed to be smashing a different guitar. The prop manager didn't, well... manage this too well.

Needless to say, Martin won't be lending out any more guitars. At least they got a good shot in. LOL. man...

Alright, so moving onto stuff that isn't a complete disaster, here's a lesson of the day for you from David Wallimann.

It's about a technique he calls 'sticky bends'.

MINI LESSON OF THE DAY

If you're guitar-obsessed like me, and you hear about a new technique, you just have to see what it's all about right?

Btw, David is a great teacher and his DVD "Modern Fusion Blues" is one I recommend highly.

Are you an intermediate player and want to go to the next level with your soloing?

Are you tired of playing the same pentatonic scales and want some fresh sounds and ideas?

Would you be excited to get some powerful new tools and formulas that will expand your musical horizons, almost overnight?

If you answered "YES" to any of those, then David Walliman's "Modern Fusion Blues", and it could be the PERFECT learning package that can help you get to the next level.

Have a great day!
