Martin Taylor will be in the ArtistWorks studio on Tuesday, January 19 recording new guitar lessons for his online students at ArtistWorks. Many of the new topics come as special requests from the students who we asked awhile back, so a big thanks to all of you who participated in the forum thread. We will also be live streaming some of the action in the studio starting around 11 AM PST, so be sure to tune in on Periscope. We will also send out the link to watch on Twitter so stay tuned on Tuesday!

It is with great sadness that I must pass on the news that our dear friend here at the MTGA, Norman McMillan, has passed away at the age of 93.

Norman was one of our first online students to signed up within the first few days of the site opening. We became good friends, and he visited us several times in Scotland when I started the Kirkmichael International Guitar Festival. My wife and I also visited Norman at his home in Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, and he became a much loved member of our worldwide family. He had a tremendous enthusiasm for life and love of music.

We will all miss him.
