    Thanks to all who watched! So fun to dig deep into subjects and show how to actually apply all this stuff. Great questions, too! Such a fun hang. See you next time!

    PG Stream

    Thanks for watching!

    Just wanted to add my two cents. Thanks so much to everyone who tuned in yesterday. Being able to do this with Syn is certainly a dream come true. When we created the videos, we knew it was only half the story. The "dictionary" so to speak. Now we can delve into how to apply the techniques and...

    Papa Gates Streaming

    Hey Gang - So naturally I am planning on doing some streaming here on a regular basis. I would love to hear your thoughts on some topics you would like me to cover. I'm thinking - jazz, funk, latin/bossa, country, songwriting, acoustic, studio tricks, more blues, more theory, music biz. Let me...

    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...

    New video from Chris

    Hey gang, Our very own Chris Greig and the Merchants just dropped a new video. As most of you know - I love pop and a great hook. This tune has it all. I love the little 8th note anticipations in the chorus. Simple changes (D to Bm) - but by anticipating the downbeat on each chord it dresses it...

    Syn's #AOTM July

    Syn’s AOTM pick for July is “Ten Summoner’s Tales” by Sting. (Syn made the pick a while back, but was extraordinarily busy this past week and asked me to weigh in). So I'm excited about this pick because I'm a huge Sting fan. His solo work is as impressive as his work with The Police (and that's...

    Webinar with Syn & PG

    Thank you to all who participated in the webinar. It was so much fun! Great to put names to new faces and also see some old friends. I was disappointed that we didn't get to all your questions - even going almost an hour late. We could have given shorter answers and hit up everyone - but that's...

    Happy Halloween!

    This was a vid from about 10 years ago - when I was getting paid to be silly. Probably one of my better songs - at least harmonically. I poke a little fun at A7X (which they are always gracious about). I always liked this solo. I tried to emulate Syn (as best I can. lol). So it starts tasty, has...

    RIP EVH

    As I'm sure you've heard, we lost Eddie Van Halen today. I only met him once. My band opened for VH in Hollywood way back in 1973. We exchanged little more than "Nice set" and "Thanks" as we passed each other back stage. When they took the stage (pre David Lee Roth), I remember Eddie tapping...

    Gypsy Jazz Documentary

    If you're into Gypsy Jazz, this is a GREAT documentary with some crazy good playing. If you're not into Gypsy Jazz - this just might change your mind. Enjoy! pg

    Papa Gates - Grandma - New (Old) Video

    This is a comedy song and video I did from about 10 years ago. It was shelved due to "sensitive" content at the suggestion of my management team. Now that I am no longer signed to management, I thought that now would be a good time to release it. Normally I would never post my comedy stuff on...

    What Ed Said

    Every time I go to post a response, I make sure I read all the other responses first. And 9 times out of 10, @Ed Seith has said exactly what I want to say. Or something so close that there is no reason for me to respond. And yes, sometimes he says things I wish I had thought of. While it's...

    My daughter is in a new music video

    Hi all! So my daughter (McKenna) went to MI with these two guys - Alex Cain and Jake Bonesteel. They heard her sing at school and asked if she would be on their album once they put their band together and got some traction. So a year later they called her and she met them in the studio and laid...

    New EP from Chris Johnston

    Hey Guys, Heads up - our fellow student Chris Johnston and his band just dropped an EP on Spotify. I'm totally digging the vibe. Very fun stuff. Let's get him some streams! Chris Greig & The Merchants

    Backing Tracks

    In the process of building the new site, we lost some backing tracks. I think I have them all up and running again, (fingers crossed). So EVERY lesson should have at least one backing track to jam with. Also - I just finished uploading the backing tracks for Syn's Pentatonic Etudes. He recorded...
