I've got a few events coming up to tell you about, and then we'll get on to the People's Business of today's new Youtube video.

Thing One: 03/14 House concert in Loveland, CO

A week from now, I'll be in Colorado for a couple of shows and a live workshop. One of the gigs is a private party, but the other is a house concert in Loveland.

If you're interested in attending the Loveland show on Friday, March 14, drop me a line and I'll put you in touch with the organizers.

Thing Two: 03/16 Master Class With John Knowles in Arvada, CO

I'll also be co-leading a workshop with my longtime pal John Knowles on Sunday, March 16 in Arvada, CO. 

There's more information at the link below, and the signup is on John's web site. (I'm told the signup mechanics have been a little wonky this week so if you have any trouble registering, just drop me a line and we'll get it sorted out):

Evolutions & Substitutions: A Fingerstyle Guitar Master Class

Thing Three, Part One: 04/26 Solo Show at the Red Dragon, Baton Rouge, LA

From all I have heard, the Red Dragon is a remarkable venue and I am really looking forward to this show. You can learn more about them at their Facebook page, and I'll post a link for tickets as the date gets closer:

Thing Three, Part Two: Hosting a House Concert

If you are somewhere between Austin and Baton Rouge – Houston, say, or Lake Charles – but would like to hear me play closer to home, here are two things you could do:

1. If you know of a house concert in your area, drop me a line and let me know about it, or – 
2. If you think you might enjoy hosting a house concert yourself, on either Friday, 04/25 or Sunday, 04/27, drop a line to my friend John MacArthur – john@nhmusiccollective.com – with the subject heading "David Hamburger House Concert." 

John has years of experience booking musicians (I played his concert series in New Hampshire last year) and has offered to walk any interested reader of my newsletter through the whole process of organizing and hosting an invitation-only show in their own home.

Thing Four: 03/18 Groove Master Class, Spring 2025

The spring 2025 edition of my online Groove Master Class starts Tuesday, March 18. This is a free three-part series I stream live on Youtube twice a year. I'll have more information and links to the first stream coming soon.

Whew! On to more pressing matters.

Earlier this week, my friend Tim asked if I could show him some cool chords to use in open G tuning. After we went over some voicings for the I, IV and V chord, I made a Youtube lesson about them, too. You can find it at the link below:

Three Cool Chords For Open G Tuning

More soon,
