NEW DRUMMERHEADS INSTANTDRUMMER SESSIONS
Drummerheads listened to your RiffWorks InstantDrummer session requests and released 5 new sessions. Listen to the previews on the right and pick your faves.

NEW DRUMS ON DEMAND SESSIONS
Drums On Demand's new reggae volume is inspired by some of the best-selling reggae grooves of all-time. With a nice slow even groove, the traditional sound and mix feature higher-pitched snare, toms as well as a drier overall mix. 5 InstantDrummer sessions have been created from these volumes and they are smokin'! You can listen to the previews on the right.





AMPLITUBE JIMI HENDRIX EDITION AVAILABLE AT A REDUCED PRICE
AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix is not only perfect for guitarists interested in getting that unmistakable Hendrix sound or those searching for the ultimate collection of vintage gear in one product, it's also a great add-on for RiffWorks Standard and AmpliTube 2 users. Most of the AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix models are brand new and not included in AmpliTube 2, making the Hendrix edition a fantastic way for AmpliTube 2 users to expand the available stomps, amps, cabinets, and mics.

For a limited time only, all IK registered users (of both retail and special bundled versions such as AmpliTube 2 Live included in RiffWorks Standard) can purchase the AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix Crossgrade at a special reduced price of MSRP $199, so be sure to take advantage of this deal before July 31, 2007.

GAMA SUMMER WORKSHOPS SPONSOR
GAMA (Guitar and Accessories Marketing Association) helps public school music teachers start guitar programs. Since 1995, when GAMA inaugurated its Teaching Guitar Workshops (TGW) for school music teachers, an estimated 273,000 public school boys and girls have been taught guitar by TGW alums.

Teachers who started a guitar program in their schools say:
"I look forward to guitar classes. The kids want to be there."
"I have gone from 'nerd' band teacher to 'cool' guitar teacher in the eyes of the students. It has doubled the size of the instrumental program."

Sonoma Wire Works is proud to announce that we are sponsoring the GAMA Teaching Guitar Summer Workshops.
RiffWorks Standard will be given to more than 250 teachers. RiffWorks is excellent recording software for beginning guitar players and has been successfully used as a teaching and practicing tool by several guitar teachers. We are excited that public school teachers in the GAMA program will be able to take advantage of all RiffWorks has to offer.

For more information about starting guitar programs in schools, please contact GAMA.

RIFFCASTER & RIFFLINK PICKS
RiffCaster Pick of the Month: "Heavy Blues Jam Mostly Minor" by Aj Ellsay
Aj says "Just testing out the Amplitube Jimi Hendrix presets.. pretty fun!" A listener named Wilfred commented, "This is an inspiration to keep playing guitar....!" Another listener name Treena said, "Most excellent! This one is ready for the blues club! Great dance song, great guitar work & bass."

RiffLink Collab Pick: "Return of the Bear" by Rich (blue4u) and Steven (strat94) on guitars, and Lenny (veddereddie) on vox. This is a good RiffLink collaboration! As a RiffWorks user named Maxe Silz says, "A very nice moody tune with tons of well produced effects nicely intercepted with an atmosphere of solid playing and soulful vocals. Nice job guys."
