    Did things get quiet in here - or is it just me?

    THE DIRECTOR’S CUT by Fantomas

    I will admit I have never heard of this album. I will have explore and get back to you..

    This really should be his bio on the site...

    Great question. I was opening for other acts in comedy clubs around LA. No touring. Just trying to get my feet wet as a comedian. Literally making 50 bucks a night. The first time I did it, It absolutely killed. And it just got better and better as I refined it. I had only done it maybe 20...

    This really should be his bio on the site...

    This was a really tight 12 minute bit that always got a great response. It was the turning point in my comedy career. Up until that point it was jokes and original songs. I never like the idea of parodies (changing lyrics to existing songs). You don't even really have to be a musician to do that...

    KIMONO MY HOUSE by Sparks

    I have not. Very interested though.

    KIMONO MY HOUSE by Sparks

    I simply don't know of ANY band who would attempt to do all their albums live - back to back to back. 21 albums, 256 songs, on consecutive nights? I don't see how that's even possible. Unreal.

    Looper questions

    Unreal! The guy's incredible. So much going on there. Thanks for sharing. But even with all the incredible stuff he did - it was still just 10 minutes of 3 chords over and over. It was certainly interesting, but there wasn't a lot of "song" in what he did. Just a lot of variations on a basic...

    Story Time: Robert Johnson and the deal at the crossroad.

    He prolly just practiced.

    Looper questions

    I did not. I've been holding out for something with more channels. The Boss RC-600 just came out and it looks incredible. 6 channels, etc. It's pricey, but I think I need something with more than one or two channels.

    Looper questions

    Hey Kids! Happy October! 🎃 I need some help. I've been toying with the idea of doing some live dates up here in Vermont and was thinking of doing acoustic/vocal with a loop pedal - just for fun. My usual deal is with backing tracks - and even though I've recorded some killer backing tracks, it...

    I'm not a legend, but I like cheese. Can you send me some?

    Stagefright/Anxiety/Imposter Syndrome

    This sounds like a joke - but it's not! I can't tell you how many times (early in my career) I walked on stage only to realize I REALLY had to pee. Nerves do that to you. It's part of the "fight or flight" process. If you're doing 10 minutes, it doesn't matter. If you're doing 45 minutes -...

    Stagefright/Anxiety/Imposter Syndrome

    This is more common than you might imagine. Literally everyone I know gets nervous before a show. The more shows you do, the better it gets. But there are those "important" shows that you have one chance to nail. You're nervous because it maters. That's not a bad thing. You just don't want to...

    A NIGHT AT THE OPERA by Queen

    Another great choice from Syn. Dude - you're on a roll! Queen was a game-changer fo sho. There was nothing like them before they arrived and many bands have borrowed from them in the years after. They used no synths or samples. Just overdubs of live instruments and vocals. While there were...

    And the 6 Magic Note Contest Winner is...

    Thank you, Ed. When I was writing/recording the lessons I was getting bogged down in rules, boxes, positions, etc. I was afraid that all the technical info would be a turnoff for beginning students. I was looking for a way to just make it fun. I wanted to recreate the joy I felt when I was 10...

    And the 6 Magic Note Contest Winner is...

    Congrats! There were some great submissions. I love how everyone played something vastly different. It really shows the endless possibilities of just six notes. Well done! Cheers! pg

    Technique and the Modern Guitarist - thoughts after seeing Guns n Roses

    Tenchnique is nothing more than a means to an end. That end being "great music". Most people will benefit greatly from working on technique. But people with a natural gift may not, (obviously everyone needs a certain amount of technique to be good). Music is not a visual undertaking. It only...

    KIMONO MY HOUSE by Sparks

    Way back in the dark ages (before the internet) there was a TV show called "In Concert". It was the only place on TV you could see new bands. It was filmed at The Long Beach Arena (Yes-the same one as Live in the LBC) every Tuesday during the afternoon and evening. I was in the 10th grade (circa...
