Bio:

Whether it's with their high energy, blow the roof off rock show, or stripped down, intimate acoustic sets, Merrill has been winning over legions of fans with their emotionally charged music since 2006.

The band consists of singer/songwriter/guitarist Chris Merrill, lead guitarist Eli Johnson, bass player Robert Finn, keyboardist Jeremy Dan, and drummer Michael Johnson, to bring you music that manages a soulful past with a blend of rhythm and rock to form a sound that transcends categories.

Merrill has opened for such acts as Maroon 5, Counting Crows, and Augustana. In addition, they were selected to play the 2007 Bumbershoot Music Festival playing with such acts as Crowded House, The Shins, Gym Class Heroes, Danger Radio, and Panic at the Disco. And the band is blowing up the radio receiving regional airplay for their song "The One Thing".

Merrill released their debut EP, "Evolutions" in September of 2008 and will be following it with their first full length album, "A Beautiful Disaster" in September 2009 which includes the hit single "The First Time".

Though the band is often touring, the group's roots are in Portland, Oregon.

It is with incredible sadness that I must offer for sale my 2 old friend guitars.

I have owned these guitars for 20 years and played them semi-professionally for several years. It has taken me 3 years to build up the strength to separate with these very dear friends. But I just can't play anymore and I would rather see them back in life than collecting dust.

1) My vintage Alvarez model 5054 12-string acoustic guitar

This guitar is in excellent condition, but does have a couple nicks. It comes with a hard-shell case that you could drive over! This alone would cost you over $100.

Additionally, I had an under-bridge pickup installed that absolutely sounds great! I spent almost $200 when I had this installed.

I will also include all the accessories that I have used with it including a detachable shoulder strap.

Additional technical description:
This guitar has Indian Rosewood back and sides, with a solid spruce top. It has an under the saddle pickup but does not come with any sort of pre-amp. The sound acheived through the pickup is strickly the sound of the guitar. It has full and rich bass, as the wood has aged well. The spruce top also allows for more vibrant mids and trebles, again partly to its ageing. This guitar has some of the upgrades for looks, such as a bound headstock and abalone inlays.

2) My Takamine ef261s(an) 6-string acoustic-electic

This guitar is in excellent condition, but also has a couple nicks. The pickup, pre-amp, EQ are all fully functional. It comes with a Takamine hard shell case that is also in excellent condition.

I will also include all the accessories that I have used with it including a detachable shoulder strap.


Description from the Takamine site:
With their balanced tone, warm sound and comfortable size the Noveau and Santa Fe are a consistent favorite of players who also sing. The Santa Fe Series is inspired by the designs and sounds of the desert Southwest. Its intricate inlays are perfectly executed and the tone is as wide as the horizon.

Body Shape: FXC/Artist
Rosette: Concentric Circles
Top: Solid Cedar
Back: Mahogany
Sides: Mahogany
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Electronics: CT4B
Tuners: Chrome
Features: Favorites of coffeehouse and arena guitarists for their strong and clear midrange. Their solid cedar tops and mahogany bodies produce a beautifully warm tone

In fact you can play guitar or bass using all seven of the modes known as: IONIAN, DORIAN, PHRYGIAN, AEOLIAN, MIXOLYDIAN, LOCRIAN & LYDIAN--and you can do it in moments! Even if you do not know any music theory.

My Modes Method is in use by many guitar players to give them the correct notes to all seven modes instantly. The only thing you have to memorize is one location of notes across all six strings. My Method offers instruction on how far to move this position up or down the neck in order to play every mode in all twelve keys. Sounds crazy, right? It is hard for most players to believe- but it is true! Write for more information, and some of the text of my Method. It is only ten bucks, free shipping, and no risk to you. I can prove to you that I’m not a scammer.

From Modes Method users:
Thank you--Here is $20.00. Its worth it. -Robert

It almost seems to simple to miss. Thanks for putting that out there on Craigslist!--Rick

I received the Modes Method. I like the way you use the numbering system for your starting position to get to your modes. I know the major scale which you use so this method is real easy to pick up. Thank you. --Mark

Based in Firestone/Longmont area all practices will be in this location. Female guitarist looking to form new High School Rock Band to play covers and originals and open to christian rock. Styles include: Blink 182, Green Day, Coldplay, The Fray, Panic at the Disco, 3OH!3 and any other songs to that nature. Looking for drummer, bass, player, keyboard, and vocalists. Players must have a good attitude, and work well with others without the ego. Access to studio recording, and all PA and lights provided. Must be a High School student with a clean record.

MODES FOR THE MODERN GUITAR PLAYER
This method allows you to play the modes by simply using ONLY ONE finger pattern that you probably already know. I tell you how to place it- counting a few frets up or down the neck and going across all six strings. I have been using this method for over twenty years now. It’s fool-proof and always works. Never hit a wrong note again. For electric or acoustic guitar and four string bass. Cannot be adapted to other instruments like keyboard or sax. I developed this method and registered the copyright in 1986.

Play in:
DORIAN
PHRYGIAN
AEOLIAN
IONIAN
LYDIAN
MIXOLYDIAN &
LOCRIAN modes in any key!

You do not need to know ANY theory at all. This will open the door for your advancement in a very big way. Only $10.00; no shipping. E-mail me for the first two paragraphs of the method. Ask about my “risk-free payment system.”


From Modes Method users:
When I first looked at your explanation, I thought to myself, there is no way it is this easy; then I started playing different scales based on your theory-and it actually works. I’m impressed. -Josh

hey dan, i just recieved the method today. its great! i spent a long while trying to memorize music theory. but this just made me feel dumb for not thinking of this earlier. thnx alot dan i’ll send out $12 first thing tomorrow morning. -eric

I have extended the modes method to the entire neck. It’s exactly what my other teacher…was trying to explain to me one day. The major and minor scales together. Your method has brought it full circle. I'm going to be Great one day. Thanks for the help. And reasonable too. -Brian

Hi Dan. I finally got a chance to look at your method. How simple you make it…I'm really getting in to the modes. Your tips are very helpful! Thanks Matt

Just received Modes (Method) yesterday, could not wait to try it out. I’ve used the Method to pick out melodies from songs and build some lead work from there. Thanks, this system has gotten me over the hump first try. --Tom

Thanks for sending me your…concept of playing modes. I appreciate your knowledge and your musical interest.. . I've been playing electric Bass for ten plus years; I figured it out; you are sooo Right On. Thanks for all you give; I've been practicing all Sunday Morning and I've just stopped @ 1:45 P.M. " I do think the boy’s got it ! " Thank you again, James.

Sounds good; your honesty is refreshing. Thanks, Mark.

the more i read and study your little method thingy the more it becomes obvious to me. it's almost embarrassing that you can play for x amount of years and overlook little stuff like that. especially when you’re [already] using that [scale] box all the time. but oh well, now i know. (well i've known for a really long time now; now i'm just aware that i know, haha). anyway though man, i appreciate it.
Later- john

The [Modes Method], I’d have to honestly say, did actually help improve my improv skills. I’ve been playing steady and professionally for 25+ years and it really did help.--Thanks, Tom

“Hi Dan, sounds like a deal. Please send the Modes Method and I will send you $12 the next day after I receive it. How can I pass up such a trusting way of doing business. Very refreshing in this day and age. I look forward to learning my modes! --Vincent”

Hey Dan, got the excellent method and your payment is now mailed 1st class. I added a few bucks for doing a great project that I will show young students (including my son!). Great modal method! --Dave

I received your paper today. Good stuff….I think this is the sort of thing that needs to be taught in the schools ALONG with music theory. I will send the money order with tomorrow's mail. It was worth it.--Solis

How can I pass up such a trusting way of doing business. Very refreshing in this day and age. I look forward to learning my modes! -Vincent

It's very very cool that you do business like this,and as a musician I appreciate it.
Peace, Bob

Dan, just got the info this looks to be well worth the money and great for you to take the time to show your secrets, I have been playing for 20 years and still learning. yours is on its way, this will help!!! Danny

Hi Dan. I'm 58 years old, I've been playing guitar since I'm 14, and I've been stuck in the pentatonic box for well over 42 years. I finally feel like a musician. I've been practicing your method for about a week and I'm doing things I NEVER could before. I just got home from a jam and you were right, you have to hear it with the chords behind it. Thank you so much --Tony

Sounds like a deal. Please send the Modes Method and I will send you $12 the next day after I receive it. How can I pass up such a trusting way of doing business. Very refreshing in this day and age. I look forward to learning my modes. --Tony

Aha! I've always thought that such a method existed, since the guitar allows the use of repetitive fingering patterns, and the counting of frets idea is fantastic! I will definitely send you the $12 upon receipt of your method! --Carlos

I really like your method its nice and simple.--Brandon

I’ve been using these scale patterns for years, but never made the connection to modes. This has been very useful. --Thanks, Steven.

“You have caught my interest. I have seen your post forever and have spent more on beer! ….I received your lesson. After sitting down and working with it I began to put the pieces together. I know a little theory and scales. This was kind of the key to putting it all together. Thanks, Bill”

i got it yesterday....Thanks agian...its very simple....I already get the process!
Thanks, Ryan

It's funny, you play for years and you tend to over look some of the simple things that tie it all together. Thats what your method did for me, just remembering where the root notes are and sliding the modes up or down is a simple thing but you forget that when your thinking about other things going on in the song.
Thanks, Joe

“It arrived to my home Saturday. I just tried recording a minute of varied grooves over a B minor chord. I played the Dorian and Aeolian modes over that. I like this!….Thanks a lot, --Charles”

I received the Modes Method. I like the way you use the numbering system for your starting position to get to your modes. I know the major scale which you use so this method is real easy to pick up. Thank you. --Mark

“Hi Dan -- just getting into the info -- great concept! -- lots of possibilities “
Thanks, Don

Thanks--Interesting concept.--Bill

By the way, I really like what you've done. Very easy to pick up. In a couple of weeks, I should be able to apply the info in a live situation when I go to my next rehearsal. Thanks again. Greg

“Dan, got the stuff...I'm working on it. It will be a help and was definitely worth the $10 bucks! --Steve”

Thanks for the righteous info. I have been playing around with it and I can certainly see the potential….Look forward to growing from your method, thanks again!! Joshua

“Thanks Dan. It seems to be a neat system. I am working into it in my practice now.”--Jeff

thanks, got this yesterday. It is definitely…beautiful in its simplicity. Thanks again, Steve.

Thanks for the info, works well. You’re right, knowing what notes are in that mode makes it impossible to hit a wrong note. Thanks again-Michael

thank YOU for YOUR honesty. im glad theres still some honest people left in the world. Good stuff

I really appreciate your way of doing business with these modes.....Alex

“I had a chance to look it over in the last couple days. It looks so simple. I saw your ad on craigslist and bought your system because I am always looking to improve my playing and hey, it was cheap.” --Mike

Very impressive way of doing business…. I am looking forward to seeing and using the system….I am an entertainer, work very hard at it and always looking to improve. Daniel, you do business like I do….Thanks so much, Lance

My name is Tony and your modes method really worked for me.

“I have only spent 1 hour working on the system so far and i can see how this will
help me!!!....Thanks Again Randy”

it makes perfect sense. -David

Thanks, i like this approach....and its easy to modify it....later Curtis

Thank you very much Dan! I've been playing for 40 years pretty much in the rock and roll and blues vein. I’ve always wanted to learn the modes, but frankly my playing was at least to me, decent enough to have been in a few relatively "successful" local bar bands, as a lead guitarist, but I've always known that something was lacking, and knowing modes was one of them. I 'm 52 years old, and my playing has become stagnant. When I saw your posting on Craigslist I was intrigued. I have a Boss looper and I've started to do what was suggested in your tutorial, by just playing these patterns over an A minor, and a couple of other keys, and yes, it absolutely does work. As I'm self taught, I’ve never learned proper theory, and this shortcut will help immensely. Thanks again for the extra help. I'll study this, as time permits. I just needed a little clarification in order to make sure that I was heading in the right direction. Your method is so simple, that I thought I had to be missing something. Peace, Bob

Your service is quick and very well typed and illustrated….thank you, Joe

Your method really makes sense….Thanks, Bob

Thanks…i appreciate your guitar methods...Very informative. You rock...Alex

Thanks Dan….Pleasure doing business w/ you. Dave

Thanks! I look forward to going through the material. I just started working on a new album so I cant wait to learn new things. The guitar is a very mystical thing and is a spiritual instrument for me and the modes really make the experience awesome. Thanks for having a great offer like this!--Jonathan

I read your formula and it looks interesting. I think it may lead to many new ideas and open some doors. thanks, Mark

Hey man I have it and I am putting it to use. Had one of my jam buddies play A and Am then ran the minor pentatonic scale and I see what you mean about “add two notes”. I feel confident this is going to help me. So Dan, here you have it, - you told me so. Thanks again, Ron

Honesty, indeed. Never seen that before ever. You got it bro. I can promise to send $15. A little bit of a bonus if you'd like. -David

Wow!.....I am speechless. Its sounds way to good to be true. Though it is comforting to know a few good decent people do exist. Thank you, for offering such a incredible service. Gus

Dan, thanks, got this yesterday. It is definitely one of those “duh!” things, beautiful in its simplicity. Thanks again, Steve.

It’s cool you came up with such a great idea ! Hope you can reach a lot of people out there. Maybe I’ll get my chops up to where they should be. Cool, Gary

Thanks again for the flexible payment method. Rich

I really appreciate your explanations. Very clear. Thanks so much for your instruction. Steve

Thank you--Here is $20.00. It’s worth it. Robert

Go ahead and let's do the little more expensive risk free way- wow what a refreshing bit of honesty here! I have read the reviews, comments and testimonials. If some one was willing to send you back $20 for a $12 course- then by all means, send it. I believe in this program…just from the responses your product has gotten. Adam
