I've just become aware of a #book I may want to pick up. It was published yesterday. I know several of the contributors personally, so I know it'll be good.
"21st Century #Guitar: Evolutions and Augmentations" by Richard Perks, John McGrath (Anthology Editors).
Here's more info, plus where to get it: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/21st-century-guitar-9781501373305/

As you may have guessed, I love learning.
At university I've studied #ethnomusicology (BA, MMus); a very broad field blending #musicology, #organology, #anthropology, #sociology, #WorldHistory, studies of #performance, #religion, #folklore, #gender, etc.
Prior to that, I've taken vocational courses in IT (mostly obsolete stuff by now), sports #massage, #Shiatsu and #nutrition; that also included #anatomy, #physiology, #pathology, #history of #MedicalScience and traditional Chinese medicine. 2/3

Another day, another #forgotteninstrument... Meet the viola d'amore, similar to a #violin or #viola but with six to seven melodic #strings and, more importantly, a number of non-playable #sympathetic (resonating) metal strings which provide warm, lush and #drone-like #harmonics.

moved instance so time for another #introduction I guess... I'm an Italian-born guitarist (classical, experimental, once-upon-a-time fingerstyle) and musicologist living and #teaching in the SF Bay Area—I'm an adjunct prof/lecturer at USFCA and UCSC. My main interests are tuning & #justintonation • US experimental music • #organology • early #electronicmusic but I also teach a lot of Pop classes (mainly #beatles and #gratefuldead). Here for #musodon and finding healthy online communities 🎸 ⚡ 🎛️
