Kirk Lorange

Kirk Lorange has been playing for 50 plus years and is one of Australia’s best know session and performing guitarists. He regularly contributes articles that help guitar players of all skill levels to play better and to better understand their instrument. On Plane Talk he reveals the visualization technique he developed as a non-reader.

PlaneTalk

PlaneTalk is a comic-strip conversation that takes place on a plane between a seasoned guitarist and a guy who gave up trying to figure it out. The pro lets him in on a secret, a shorthand way of thinking of music and the guitar, a simple trick. The reader gets to listen in as the lesson unfolds. Here is a Sample Comic Strip.
