Collaboration in magazines and methods
Arnaud and Francois, in addition to interpretation and composition, also comes from the world of pedagogy.
A facet that has led them to create several methods of the "Guitarist Pédago" collection, a way to share their knowledge with others.
In the same way, Neck Bros also works on the diffusion of a concept of "concert-discovery" around the electro-acoustic guitar, especially for music schools, where through didactic concerts, it is shown the musicians the different types of guitar like: nylon strings, steel strings, 12 strings, different electroacoustic systems, the use of effects or interpretation techniques between pieces.
In addition, since 2006, they have collaborated in different guitar magazines such as: "Guitarist & Bass", "Guitare Folk", "Guitar Unplugged" or "Guitarist Acoustic".You can get more information about Neck Bros on its website and different official social networks:www.neckbros.com
