HEY READERS...

Ever want to learn how to play the guitar like Eddie Stein, Eric Swan, Mac, or the one and only, Brad Savage?

Here is a great start to gain your interest.

Practice any three of these chords, and you can play just about any Cockroach tune ever recorded.

IT'S GOING TO BE A BLUEGRASS CHRISTMAS

.

Song o’ November
‘Jingle Bells’

Christmas is just weeks away! Before you know it, you’ll be trimming a big ol’ real or artificial tree, buying loads o’ gifts, chugging eggnog like there’s no tomorrow, and, of course, playing or listening to bluegrass tunes. Let’s jam!

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horsepower ‘mower,
o’er the fields we go, slower than a snowblower.
I take my banjo along, making spirits bright,
what fun it is to laugh and pick a sleighing song tonight!
