Articles About Music and the Guitar

The following articles were written many years ago (most of them originally on the old Rec Music Makers Guitar Jazz or "RMMGJ" newsgroup) and were posted on my old website. The text-only format is a bit primitive by modern standards and, in some cases, I would have a different take on a given subject if I discussed it today. Nonetheless, I'm reprinting them here with only a few light edits in case they might be helpful and/or interesting to someone.
