Hi! My name is Hi Newman, and yeah it's a funny name, but it's mine!
I live in rural Tennessee, USA, and am a Christian, musician and writer. Some of my musical interests include traditional Southern rural blues, electric and acoustic guitars, jazz/rock fusion and classical music. Some of my favorite guitarists are Hendrix, Leadbelly, Django Rinehardt, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Chet Atkins and Les Paul.
My Christian interests include health, the challenges and opportunities of daily living in the modern world, and promoting Christ through music.
I also write prose and poetry in addition to songs, although musically I tend toward instrumentals, a sort of Jeff Beck meets Miles Davis sort of vibe, with a little Blind Lemon Jefferson to boot. |
On this site we will be discussing electric and acoustic guitars, amps, effects devices, pickups, cables, strings, picks; setting up equipment for various sounds live and recording, how to get clean sounds out of Les Pauls and hot sounds out of Stratocasters, and seeking answers to interesting questions like, "Why is the guitar tuned in that weird way?"
I'll also give my (humble, I hope) opinion on great guitarists, great albums/CDs, and great shows. There will be links to web sites about music, effects, amps, etc., as well as to some involving my other interests, such as health, alternative therapies and martial arts. And, of course, Jesus Christ.
