In between heavy touring schedules, the Smashing Pumpkins have found time to create a four-song acoustic EP, "American Gothic," to be released Jan. 2 exclusively via iTunes in the U.S.
Following the author's successful Acoustic Guitar Styles (Routledge, April 2002), this book introduces the readers to the basics of finger-style acoustic guitar blues. Most would-be blues guitarists today learn primarily from books, using notation or guitar tablature, reinforced by CDs, videos, or live teachers. Often this involves rote repetition rather than encouraging creative exploration. Students become copycats, able to play by rote but lack the conceptual equipment to create music on their own. Worst of all, because they learn to play notes rather than working outwards from rhythmic gestures in the picking hands, their music lacks rhythmic vitality. This book concentrates on keeping your playing rhythmic and alive.

The band was founded under the name of Tricky Beans and initially played songs which were to a great extent influenced by the hard rock genre and which didn't flirt with the power metal genre as much. During their early career, they recorded three demos which were never sent to any recording label — Friend 'till the End, Agre Pamppers and PeaceMaker.

Umbrella (Acoustic) Lyrics by Marie Digby
[VERSE 1]
You had my heart
and we’ll never be world apart
Maybe in magazines
but you’ll still be my star
Baby cause in the Dark
You can see shiny Cars
And that’s when you need me there
With you I’ll always share
Because
[CHORUS]
When the sun shines
We’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be [...]
Mason came over yesterday to work on some acoustic versions of our songs so I took some pics. We'll have 'em finished soon.It kinda brings back memories of us recording our demos in my apartment. Trace and Mason came over almost every day for about three months straight and we'd record songs on my shoddy equipment.Mason says hi, by the way.Blake *§ource and location of many more photos: Metro Station's myspace*

Chicago Acoustic Underground (Again!)Get some free music! The podcast I taped with Chicago Acoustic Underground is now online. There's almost a half hour's worth of live performance, interview, and my laughter (do I normally laugh that much? I think so).If you're in Michigan, stop by at a concert--I'm playing in both Ann Arbor and Lansing this week.
Chicago Acoustic UndergroundIn just six months, they've garnered thousands of listeners from all over the world, including around 50 in Singapore. And it's no wonder: the Chicago Acoustic Underground is a fun podcast featuring live performances from some of the Chicago area's best. As much as I hate Myspace, I have to admit that it's been a useful tool. When it's not giving me "unexpected technical error[s]," I've found some amazing musicians--and some pretty cool people have found me as well. Michael Teach, who runs CAU, asked me to appear on the show a few weeks ago, so last night I brought my guitar over to their space in Lincoln Park. Let me tell you, the space is amazing--I've never seen so many musical instruments and amps in one person's apartment before. There were something like 10 guitars, a saxophone, a mandolin, a full-length keyboard, a drum kit, and not a few microphones. And I'm probably forgetting some instruments.The mixing engineer's name is also Michael, an
