NEWS

May 26, 2008 - Songs added to my band profile on myspace! Check it out... myspace.com/rightisbackside I've also created a video series document the recording of my latest song. I'll post the video here. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to see it...

March 23, 2008 - Video lessons added! I've added the YouTube video lessons to the scale lessons. Check out each of the scale lessons and you will find a video demo for each of them. Soon to be added... The Natural Minor Scale.

March 21, 2008 - Six String Sensei on YouTube! I've created a Danny Cruz / SixStringSensei channel on YouTube. It already has 29 or so videos! Most of those will be linked to different lessons throughout this site but for now they will be sitting there until I have time to post them here sometime next week. In the meantime, go to youtube.com/sixstringsensei and check out the channel. Feel free to add me as a friend and to subscribe.

February 2, 2008 - New lessons added! I've added all the modes for the Pentatonic Minor Scale! The all famous Minor Pentatonic scale that everybody and their mother plays at the 12 fret! Yeah, that's it, the most overused scale in Rock! Still useful though. Have at it!

January 20, 2008 - SixStringSensei.com has doubled its visits since last year. It's only January 20, 2008 and the site has already received 1,300+ visits. That's about twice as much as it had in January 2007! And... There are still about 10 days left in the month!

January 12, 2008 - Major additions the site:

- The forum is looking better. We've got a few members and things have begun to roll. Please join the forum if you need any questions answered. While we start recruiting members I'll be answering most questions to the best of my ability.

- I'm removing the news page and replacing it with this little news section for now. The news page was a major pain in the rear to keep up. For now, we'll do with this little section until I install some sort of working blog.

- I've added a complete 7-piece lesson on the Pentatonic Major Scale. This is your chance to begin soloing. Put some time learning it 'cause once you do, the upcoming Pentatonic Minor lesson will be a breeze. Soon after that, I'll be adding the Natural Minor Scale as well.

- People, please... help support this site. I see it gets plenty of visitors daily. I'm sure all you guys buy guitars, amps and other crap online. Well, next time you're buying a guitar, or an amp, or strings even - use one of the Musician's Friend banners throughout the site. Simply click on one to go to the MF site and then make whatever purchase you want. This site isn't free, you know. Any commission cash I can get will help pay hosting fees. Don't think because there are banners on my site I'm rolling in the cash. No money's coming in if they are not used. Plus, by the way, I've recently heard many awesome stories of charitable contributions. If you happen to be a millionare and have extra cash lying around, and you like the site enough, hey, throw a little this way. Hehehe. ...will be much appreciated!

December 11, 2007 - I've just added a forum to the site. It's unfinished and there will be many improvements and additions to it later. Nonetheless, it's fully functional. If you are tired of arriving at massive forums and feeling like the little guy, this is your chance to help start a new niche community. So go ahead and join! CLICK HERE to go to the forum.

July 26, 2007 - Notice I've been adding a few ads to the site. I'm trying to have the site generate a few bucks that will at least pay for hosting fees. I'm also adding a Paypal Donate button. If you have found this site to be helpful and you wish to give back, find the button on the right and donate today!

July 8, 2007 - ATTENTION GUITAR EXPERTS! I'm opening a section of the site for lessons from guest guitaritsts. Basically, if you'd like to write a lesson for SIXSTRINGSENSEI.com simply write it out and let me know. You can write me using the form on the right. I will read over your lesson, and if approved, I will post it on the site. I will include you name as the writer of the lesson, and I will include a link to your site and/or you band's website. This is a great way to promote your band and send traffic your way!

July 7, 2007 - I'm adding lessons on the Pentatonic Scales. I added a small overview, but I have more coming soon.
