Its mission: bring you those stories as original video, audio, photo or text pieces" from filmaker and photographer Emon Hassan. The video post they feature at the Atlantic is On the Beauty of Handmade Slide Guitars. "In this segment, Mark Nilsen describes his DIY approach to building slide guitars with found wood and unconventional dimensions." There's a short text interview with Hassan about his blog. Some excerpts: I wanted to [read] a blog that talked about guitar as a craft and passion. And as they say, if it doesn't exist, build it. Yet the first year, Guitarkadia struggled with an identity crisis. I only knew that I didn't want to do reviews, be a tech guide, etc. It wasn't until I gave the blog a tag, "stories around guitars" that I found a clear purpose for it. ~ Becky in Tucson |
