hi Friend, Was just on the phone with my mom… She asked me how I felt on my birthday. Overall, I feel great! Like Joe Walsh said, “life’s been good to me so far.” On a total side note, if you ever get a chance to watch Joe Walsh play the blues on the “crossroads” …
hi Friend, I’m more exhausted than a one-legged chicken in a butt-kickin contest 🙂 Par for the course for NAMM, though. My mission now is to recover my energy and get back to Rhode Island! yeahhhh…. Let me show this video that Jon Maclennan did. It’s pretty much a beginner lesson on blues turnarounds, but …

hi Friend, Ok, so I’m at NAMM, (National Association of Music Merchants) Convention in Anaheim, California. If you don’t know what that is, it’s pretty much the biggest music convention in the world.

Next cool thing I wanna show you guys: It’s a really freakin sweet video sample from “Boogie Blues Magic”… Check out this jam. It’s a chord progression …
hi Friend, Happy Friday… Got a cool guitar treat for you today! It’s another Claudius Maximus “mini lesson”. This is interesting — I’ll show you an “Eric Johnson” style lick and the weird “hexatonic” scale that creates the unique sound. I never hear anyone talk about this, and I don’t know why, cause its really …
