I finally got around to finishing this little tutorial on one of my newly discovered favorite techniques to adding a groovy, organic element out of plane simple chords. hopefully this inspires some of you to also play around with some tremolos 🦦

hey guys, a little sign of life from my side. I'm sorry I haven't been so active here in the last few days/weeks. in the loom I'm sharing why. beside that I'd love to hear from you what you value most in the community (poll), so we can shape it together into the perfect place for all of us. so please feel free to share you're thoughts in the comments besides the poll. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and relaxed energy 🫶🏼🦦

may we all be blessed with making beautiful music, finding great sound, others who think so too, and lots of relaxed energy this year 😇 here's a little 2026 community direction preview/brainstorming video. TL;DR (for the ones that don't want to watch the whole 20 min) - december was quiet because of a needed break, podcast work, and covid — but the community was very much on my mind. - goal for 2026: grow guitarwavers in a natural, alive, and collective way. - I’d love to revive the monthly focus topics (one shared topic per month + end-of-month recap call + fitting podcast guest). - new idea: monthly feedback / demo calls where we listen to works-in-progress together and give live feedback (much easier than text). - core principle stays: all information should remain free — this is the resource I wish I’d had when I started my instrumental guitar journey. - to make the community sustainable, I’m exploring optional monetization, e.g.: - I want to build a stronger base structure, so the community doesn’t wobble when more people join. - longer-term ideas: more structured classroom content, possible future classes (e.g. music ads with sky valley records — very early idea). - I’m thinking about community roles for members who would like to help shape and co-run the space. - big picture: guitarwavers should be a safe, calm place to recharge, learn, grow, and feel connected in a noisy world. your feedback/thoughts are very welcome — let’s build this together 🦦

Hi everyone! I am a 42-year-old learning guitar for the first time (started 2 weeks ago) and have recently come across Sebastian's music (youtube/tiktok/spotify), which has inspired me to become an instrumental guitar player. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi! I live in Canberra, Australia, married with 3 kids and 2 doggies. I work full-time, have my own Photography business and love to learn! I just finished my Uni degree last year and have been looking for the next thing to learn - I have always wanted to learn guitar, and now I'm loving it!! It's been so nice reading all your posts, and I am so glad to be part of this wonderful community. Thank you for having me! I am learning on my second-hand guitars: a Yamaha acoustic (FG800) and a Yamaha Pacifica electric. I have a BOSS Katana 50 amp, which I am trying to tune for this style, getting there, but not quite dialled in. I am liking the amp that Sebastian has been using: the Yamaha THR30IIWL - the wireless and portability aspect is really selling it to me. Anyways, that is me. Hope you are all well and will speak to you soon. Scott Insta: @scotthhr

YouTube added this video to my feed, and I found it such a great documentary that I wanted to share it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTgYxJCBbmA It might also be relevant for @Nathaniel Graham, as it talks a lot about the benefits and challenges of independent labels. And while watching it, a thought immediately came to mind: one day we’ll all meet at a guitarwavers community festival, chatting, connecting, and introducing our music to each other live. One quote from the film really stuck with me: “Don’t build a career, build a community.” 🦦 🎸
