"There are many legendary guitarists who have become known of playing just one guitar - Brian May, Danny Gatton, John Schofield, Mike Stern and Larry Carlton, to name of few. It is an intriguing thought, isn't it? Just one guitar! But... is it possible? Can one guitar be the answer to all my needs as a player..!?"

Let's talk about the "Ultimate One Guitar Collection" - on my Weekly Wednesday Live episode #44.  Looking forward! Thank you Manuel V. for the inspiration to make this video. 

This broadcast is targeted to all of you who enjoy guitars and basses, be it players, enthusiasts or collectors alike! The program is not about the guitars we make in my company Ruokangas Guitars. I'm doing this for you, who are interested in learning more about your instrument. The brand or monetary value of your guitar makes no difference whatsoever.

"Some things are better than others, that is, they have more quality. But when you try to say what the quality is, apart from the things that have it, it all goes poof!" - Robert M. Pirsig

Let's discuss quality! What is it? How can you tell something has it? Or is 'quality' one of those words that have simply degraded to one more of those endless empty marketing terms..!?

Last week the title of my show was "How To Become The Guitarist I've Always Wanted To Be". In other words, we discussed about setting goals and how to reach those goals. But what if the world doesn't get it? What if my music is the most original ever - I feel my ideas could change the world - but nobody seems to listen! 

Well, you're not alone with those questions. This Wednesday we'll continue right where we left off a week ago. Let's dig deeper into how to make the world listen to what you have to say - or play!
