Nutrition & Diet
Outside of pure passion, it's our firm belief that diet and a positive mindset will have the biggest impact on your ability to maximize enjoyment out of playing music. It will give longevity to your art.
When the days of a fifth of Jack and two packs of cigarettes a day come to a close, here's our top 2 places to start with regards to the foods and nutrients your body needs:
1. The Sunflower Success System book (by David Wolfe)

MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane)
This stuff is absolutely fantastic for your joints! Here's a quote from the owner/operator of Six String Soul:
I've had direct experience with this magical sulfur powder returning my elbow joint to it's previous "double jointed" state after breaking the elbow in a wheelchair break-dancing accident. Don't ask, I know it sounds stupid. I took a heaping tablespoon of this stuff (in 12 oz of water) each morning and evening for a month after breaking my elbow. Within minutes of drinking the MSM/water mixture, my swollen elbow joint would slowly reduce in size and my arm would straighten out on my own. Coupled with personal rehab of elbow stretching in a bathtub full of hot water, I was able to regain full flexibility and cancel my last two doctors appointments.
This stuff also does wonders for the joints in your hands and wrists. So, next time you feel Carpal Tunnel Syndrome creeping up, take some MSM and watch it vanish. This is a must for every guitar player! Note: Yeah, we know what it looks like, but don't use it that way.
