It's our fifth anniversary.
Tips for guitar plane success debuted on April 9th, 2020.
Back then I have to admit I didn't really know what I was doing other than I wanted to
be able to share what I thought were helpful guitar plane tips and tricks to inspire and motivate
(02:55):
you.
We've come a long way in five years.
The podcast has reached more than 100,000 downloads and has been named a best guitar podcast

It's a thrill to know my guitar plane tips, tricks, and ideas are resonating with you.
Cheers to many more years of sharing the guitar love.
Let's hop into our April episodes.
The month of April includes Easter, Earth Day, and other celebrations, so I'll be leaning
(03:46):
into those themes.
Then the first episode I'll describe some Easter songs for you to play on your guitar.
Then in the next episode I'll be sharing details about my newest yo guitar video, SunSciutations
for Overall Calm and Energy.
Then in the third episode I'll be talking about spring cleaning your guitar, especially
(04:11):
caring for your wood in honor of Earth Day, April 22nd.
And in the last episode I'll continue with the spring cleaning theme by showing you how
to change your strings.
You can tune into these episodes wherever you listen to your podcasts, or you can find
them on my website marleneesmusic.com.
(04:34):
And of course beginning April 10th you'll be able to watch the episodes on YouTube podcasts
too.
Stay tuned.
Ha ha.
New episodes drop on Thursdays.
And in the guitar news, in perfect harmony with Earth Day I came across a story that blends
(04:55):
sustainability with craftsmanship.
It's a new trend that's emerging where urban trees often remove due to interference with
utility lines or other urban development needs are being repurposed to create beautiful,
high quality guitars.
These trees which would otherwise be discarded are being sold to guitar manufacturers who
(05:21):
transform them into instruments.
Check it out.
