The Song-A-Week Social Group
Welcome! Every 2 weeks we'll have a new Tune of the Week. This will be a great way to learn new tunes, show off skills, & see others at work. All skill levels & genre are welcome! Please note, while we have a new tune biweekly this isn't a contest. Please browse through the Table of Contents, & learn, comment on, or submit your video, regardless of when it was originally posted.
We also accept tunes other than the Song of the Week. If you've got a favorite tune, please submit it, with the name of the tune as the subject of a new discussion.
Start by finding & reading the post "New to Our Social Group? ~ Read Me First!"
We have three 'TABLE of CONTENTS' discussions with links to the discussions. I try to keep these on the first page of discussions. There is a discussion called "Poll Tune Suggestions" where you can suggest tunes for me to add to the poll.
You can find the poll in the regular forum part of the Cafe, under "Song and Tune Projects"Category: MiscellaneousLast Activity: Today 5:14pm

CGDAEG (NST) And Other Deviants
Those crazy enough to experiment with the world of extended tunings, especially in the murky underworld of the CBOM Zone.
NST is an acronym for "New Standard Tuning" as proposed by Robert Fripp in his Guitar Craft courses. Of course, the tuning is not exactly standard, and the bottom 5 strings are not new by any stretch...but NST has entered the general musical lexicon, and now you know what it means.Category: MiscellaneousLast Activity: Yesterday 7:42am
