The biggest things that move the needle when learning guitar

Here's what I've learned over the years from my favorite players

Wow, here we are at Six String Sunday Club’s first, subs only issue! A little intro at the top for those of you who found me through Substack - my name’s Brian Sutich, and while Six String Sunday Club is new to this new platform, I’ve been writing the newsletter and publishing it every Sunday since 2016! If there’s been a guitar story, album, lesson or more, it’s likely I’ve heard of it, but I’m always happy to be surprised by the stories I might have missed.

I’m still getting going on making the paid version of 6SSC even more valuable, and since you’re right here at the ground level, I’d love it if you could reply to this email or comment on the post letting me know what topics, perks, and more would make the subscription worth it for you.

I can’t say enough how appreciative I am of you subscribing. I know it sounds cliche, but it really does mean the world to me. Writing the newsletter each week has been a labor of love for me, for a long time, so for you to help me love what I do, really means a lot.

I’m going to try to do one of these behind the scenes emails each month, but stay tuned for more

Here’s some of the things that I brought back to my own practice schedule, that worked best:
