November is flying by!  It’s already November 15 and time to announce our latest winner of our Guitar Noise giveaway. As you know, we’re giving away two autographed copies of my latest book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Guitar, each month up through December 2011.
If you’d like to enter this giveaway, just get yourself a copy of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Playing Rock Guitar and simply take a picture of yourself, with the book, someplace relatively picturesque. You don’t have to have the Eiffel Tower or Mount Rushmore in the background, but try to be creative. As the saying goes, and as Paul literally did, you don’t have to go any further than your own back yard! Paul Hackett and I will be selecting two photos a month and will send an autographed copy of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Guitar†to those whose pictures are chosen.
Just send your photos to me at dhodgeguitar@aol.com and be sure to include an email address where you can be reached, as well as a mailing address. And please put “Picture Book†in the subject line of the email.
And this next book is going to be making some serious travel miles. It will be going from here in Western Massachusetts all the way to Bangalore, India, where Punith, our latest winner, lives!
This is very cool because one of the very first giveaways we ever did at Guitar Noise was for my first book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Playing Bass Guitar and one of the first winners of that giveaway was Rahul from India (who’s gone on and become quite the talented musician!).
So, congratulations again to Punith and your book will be shortly making its journey halfway ’round the world to you!
Our next winner will be announced right here in two weeks! And, as always, we wish the best of luck to everyone who enters!
And if you’d simply like to buy a copy, feel free to click on the link right here on my blog. If you’d like an autographed copy, just write me directly (dhodgeguitar@aol.com) for details.
Peace

Hi Dilip
Thanks for writing and thank you for the invitation! It would be very cool to come and visit Delhi, Christmastime or any time!
Unfortunately, I can’t make it this year, but India is on the list of places my partner Karen and I hope to visit in the relatively near future. There are certainly a few Guitar Noise folks there and it would be nice to finally get to meet some of you. If we do make it to Pune, I will definitely drop you a line. I look forward to having the honor of hearing you play.
I’m glad you found the lessons helpful and I wish you and your family and friends a wonderful holiday season, as well as a terrific upcoming New Year.
Peace
