Dear Fellow Musician,

I was out in California recently and asked my son, Adam Traum, to contribute a new QuickLick for this week. Based in Sonoma, Adam is a photographer, guitar teacher and gigging musician with various bands in the San Francisco Bay area. His two-DVD set, "Electric Guitar for Beginners," has been a popular title for Homespun, and we expect more from him in the future.
