New Miki Pannell Album
VARESE, ITALY.
A new album by MIKI PANNELL 'Me & Mr. M. T. Wallet' has now been released. A treatise on hurricanes, heartaches and homelessness! You can buy it on Spotify, iTunes and other digital sources or just listen to various tracks for free here on this site. The album, for once, features more acoustic than electric guitar and has Miki's best compositions to date. This record took eight years to finish! The great Pablo 'Duke' Lopez was once again called in to do the vocals. Who has a better voice than that?
Lovers of old-school swing will enjoy it as much as fans of modern pop. There is the usual eclectic mix of influences: Django-style jazz; charleston; Jerry Reed-flavoured bluegrass; country; latin; fingerstyle; rockabilly; western swing - all in that inimitable Miki Pannell style.

Heroe de la Guitarra School goes online
ONLINE
Our latest project is the online HEROE DE LA GUITARRA School. We are publishing high-quality didactic materials for learning guitar. This month we have posted various videos on youtube. The first two are 50 AWESOME JAZZY ARPEGGIOS Parts 1 & 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y32cqEuCy8o&t=857s and a separate video 50 AWESOME JAZZY ARPEGGIOS Part 3.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub56-CWwvCc
This is an ingenious methodology to learn 50 simple arpeggios out of the same chord with a multitude of different flavours and nuances. These logical, mathematical positions will transform your playing, unlock the fretboard and open up limitless harmonic possibilities. Never again will you be stuck for what notes to play over a chord sequence. The complete transcriptions are available on this site - free.
Also uploaded to YouTube are the first of several tunes from the new Fingerstyle Solos Collection, which will be tabbed and available here. More to follow soon!
