#4 Fix Your Acoustic Guitar Buzz
If you’re a guitar geek like me you look forward to that moment in the day when you can kick back and have some fun playing your acoustic guitar. But nothing can spoil that fun like a buzz emanating from it. So in today’s video lesson, I’m going to help you identify where that buzz is coming from.

#3 What’s On the Turntable This Week?
This week’s featured acoustic artist is Nathan Salsburg. Nathan comes recommended to us by Acoustic Tuesday listener Andrew D. from Richland WA, who is on a HOT streak. This is his third time recommending an artist that has totally knocked my socks off! Andrew says, “Reminds me of a modern day John Fahey without the internal demons.”

#2 Cruztools Acoustic Guitar Tech Kit Review
This is something that every guitar player MUST have. It just came out, and is the Acoustic Guitar Tech Kit made by Cruztools. If you’re anything like me when you go to change your strings, you start by asking your significant other where the wire clippers are located. You then follow with where is my string winder? And where are my extra strings? Every time. Enter Cruztools, life changed.
#1 David Bromberg Unsung Treasure Documentary Review
If you consider yourself a guitar geek, if you like guitar in general, if you like personal stories you need to add this to your watch list. David Bromberg Unsung Treasure is one to watch. He was a musical enigma. It’s a fascinating story, a documentary everyone should see. I learned a lot about him in this film and really enjoyed it.
Hea guys, practiced on T.A.C. late last night just got up having pizza and watching A.T. its a good morning! [go LIGHTNING]
This! Love it! Tony, I have to ask, how do you skate with all that flow!?!?
Something just came to me about TAC. Tony is the brilliant teacher, and Noah (and Levi) is the glue that keeps him on line.
Your “investing in guitars” comments during Small Wins were exactly right! I’m saving guitars to give me hope through injuries and job load that both prevent me from playing. For retirement, even better!
I live in Indiana and use Sweet water all the time. They are great excellent service!
Noah new microphone, or am I just noticing (ear trumpet edwina)?
Tony maybe a good segment might be adjusting the truss rod. I adjust all my guitars for the action that I require for my play style or to remove a fret buzz.
Sweetwater is great, shipping ground to Cincy is 1 day and they have everything. Know my sales manager well!
It would be nice if the tool kit fit in the standard acoustic case.
Great show as always! Thanks from Cincinnati!
Missed the live by minutes, darn, but great show all round. Entertaining and I’m learning so much. Now time for my daily practice since my fingers have thawed out!
Thanks for turning people on to the David Bromberg documentary.
I had the rare pleasure to get to sit across a table and jam with David Bromberg and a couple of his friends after a bluegrass jam that he hosted in Wilmington, De. many years ago, he has been one of my guitar heroes since the early 70’s, I first heard him play on the Johnny Carson show. Went out and bought his album the next day and have collected everything he has put out since then. He’s a true American Treasure.
And now the question is: Where did I put my toolkit?
Hey guys Dennis here, a new viewer in charelston sc. Love the show I learn something new everytime! Keep up the good work, I feel some small wins are on deck in my future.!
If you know nothing about playing guitar where would be a good place to start?
Lessons /theory with a good teacher
Noah, I think you look like a young Pierce Brosnan in the James Bond movie! Pretty cool. I am afraid I look like an old Danny DeVito! 🙁 I am aging like fine milk!
What about frett buzz?
Watched the Bromberg documentary this evening. Really excellent. I considered him as mostly Bluegrass – didn’t realize about the big band / blues work, or the interesting story about his contribution to reviving downtown Wilmington, DE. My father worked at DuPont for his entire career – the last 20 yrs or so in Wilmington. We lived about 40 miles away in South Jersey. Although before DB moved there.

Not sure why you guys keep comparing Noah to other famous people. The truth is that Noah is the OG of button pushers and they all look lik him
