I am raising funds and awareness for TAAL Volcano Relief Efforts in Batangas Philippines. Thousands of families are displaced from their homes when Taal Volcano erupted January 12, 2020 spewing ash and volcanic rock that covered hundreds of kilometers in the perimeter. While the volcano has entered a calm spell, the  effects of the eruption still lingers leaving many in need of food, water, shelter and clothing.

Batangas is my father's home province and I have been to all the places currently evacuated and it's difficult for me to sit idly by and watch things unfold without doing anything. So with this in mind, I have put up for auction my personal Chapman Guitars ML1 Standard Guitar on Ebay. This is the very guitar I have used in a lot of my video lessons on my YouTube Channel. If you have ever wanted to own a guitar that I have owned and played, this is your chance while helping out with relief efforts for the Philippines. If the winning bidder so desires, I can also autograph and date the guitar for posterity. It will come with a fresh setof my Curt Mangan Signature strings and a pack of signature picks from Anatomy of Sound.

Chapman Guitars ML1 Fundraising Auction on Ebay

Aside from the auction, I am also donating all profits from my t-shirt and merch sales from my Shirtly.PH store in the Philippines and TeeSpring stores for US and Europe. This will be in effect until the end of February.

Finally, if you want to donate by yourself without going through the Ebay auction or merch stores, you can find a list of organizations to send donations to in this list compiled by CNN Philippines.

July 2018 I played a FUN show with Rivermaya at 12 Monkeys in Manila and it was so good that we decided to take it on the road! This September 2019, we're playing select cities in the US and will be performing all the beloved Rivermaya hits spawned from the band's 25-year long career. We'll be sneaking in some few surprise songs that will be a treat to the audience!

If you have a guitar player friend/sibling/spouse/significant other, chances are you're having a hard time getting them gifts this Holiday Season. Here are my 5 gift recommendations that you can easily get on Amazon that won't break the bank.

*** Disclaimer *** Links below are affiliate links from which I get a commission from Amazon. It's no extra cost to you and will help keep me making content for all of you.

Picks - Chicken Picks are currently my picks of choice. Great tone and introduces playing ease that is immediately felt when compared to regular picks. The link below is a sampler pack for guitarists to try out all the models and eventually pick the one they like best.

Guitar Strap - every guitarist needs a nice strap. The DiMarzio Cheetah strap looks great on stage and pairs with more guitar colors.

If faux animal print isn't an option, then this stealth Gruv Gear Solostrap Neo is a great choice

Mini Guitar Amp - the BlackStar Fly 3 Mini Bluetooth amp is a great gift for the guitarist on the go. Small and easy to carry yet sounds great enough to practice with.. plus it doubles as a Bluetooth speaker! Click here to watch my review of this mini-amp

Strings - my strings of choice are Curt Mangan Strings: they feel good, sound great and last for a long time! I've been using them for over a decade now and they're the only strings I recommend for both electric and acoustic guitars.

 

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECTO - every guitar player needs a motivational T-shirt! 

I hope this post gives you gift ideas for that guitar payer in your life. For more recommendations, please visit my Amazon Storefront

Cheers!

Last weekend, I got together with some good friends and colleagues to rehearse for our upcoming show in the SF Bay Area . The show is called PINOY ROCK REVUE and on vocals we have Basti Artadi (Wolfgang) and Raffy Mendoza (RockStallion), David Aguirre (Razorback) and myself on guitars, Paco Arespacochaga (Introvoys) on drums and Marc Yap (RockStallion) on bass.

We met up at my house and and after setting things up in my garage it hit me that this is exactly how we all started out when we were kids; no fancy rehearsal studio.... just friends rocking out in a garage until the neighbors complain!

Back to basics... good times!
