I hope everybody has seen the evolution of Mark&#8217;s noodling in Open G. The piece I played at the beginning was an instrumental I wrote about 8 or 9 years ago and was fortunate to be able to sit down with Al Stewart one morning as he put words to it. I get to a bit more of that story near the end f the News and more will follow next week.<\/p>\n<p>As I missed getting a video out last Friday due to being in New York, There was a lot of stuff to report as far as releases for the last 2 weeks.

It goes into the history of one of the most famous recording studios ever built. You gotta check it out!<\/p>\n<p>As I was running out of time I went a little more into thoughts on the songwriting process and played through a couple Al Stewart progressions. One is pretty well known and one a bit more obscure, I think. I guess this will become a continuing thread over some of the next IGC Updates.<\/p>\n<p>Till then&#8230; Stay Tuned &amp; In Touch,<\/p>\n<p>Neil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Totally Guitars Totally Guitars Podcast Songwriting was on my mind this morning as I started the News, mostly because of the incredible collaboration on an original song by a part of the TG Community.
