This month we're featuring fantastic learning resources to help you grow as a player. Alternate tunings provide a way to get new and fresh sounds from your playing and we've put together two of the best alternate tunings resources available. Also, we’ve got a great deal on two of my favorite guitar tuners I have these tuners and use them all the time. They clip right on your guitar with no cables or mics needed. -- Steve
