This week is a story about my friend, Matt's beloved 1960 Gibson J-50 that was his grandfather's guitar. Needed some much deserved attention.
I tell what I've been doing during lockdown, how I was encouraged to do so and want to know what you all have been doing.
I did a Frankel-Tele build last summer so I'll tell about that. I posted a video this week as I changed out the original CTS speakers in my 1974 Vibrolux with Celestions. By request, I tell a few short Guitar Shop Stories.
This time I talk about band dynamics because of listener feedback. So I go down memory lane. Some good, some bad.
This time I share the struggles of an adult learning guitar, giving back what I know about guitar to family, friends and you all..
Listener feedback is now an ongoing segment of the show. We'll talk Marshall, Microphones, Amps and other fun guitar stuff.
We have some listener feedback. I talk about teaching beginners, specifically kids. Also reference a video by the Guitar Geek on YouTube about the inteview he did with the new CEO of Gibson
I've been trying to learn how to play pedal steel guitar the last year or so. Sharing some things I've learned and a bit of a paradigm shift.
I've acquired some gear over the last year from japanese and american guitars to boutique amps which led me back to my first love, the Les Paul guitar.
This week I field questions about my guitars, the ones I'm taking to the Indiana Guitar Show as well as the amps and pedals I'm taking to sell.
Today we have some good feedback from listeners, how I don't kiss butt, the Indiana Guitar Show and how you can share your song for outtro music.
Something to ponder the next time you're dreaming about new gear; more gear to feed the g.a.s or invest in your skills? I talk a little about a Toadworks pedal and the upcoming Indiana Guitar Show!
Today after an eight month hiatus I give an update on what's been going on around here, update on my elbow injury which was not guitar related but kept me from playing regularly for a year, and the J-45 I picked up last fall.
Today we talk with Otto D'Ambrosio from Eastman Guitars. We talk about the construction and craft behind Eastman's instruments, what's next as well as how Otto came up working on guitars to become a builder.
After a long wait you finally get a new show from me. Finally right?! Well, I'll try to make this a good one since you had to wait so long.
Today we talk about practice. That's right, practice. Not a game, but practice.
Today we talk about my wah mod project, pedal chain order change and keeping a good signal over a long distance.
Is there another way you may make money with your music than playing in smoky bars or stiff restaurants? Possibly through getting your music published and licensed. This episode I offer my opinions and takeaways from articles I read in the April 2015 Guitar Player and July 2015 Vintage Guitar Magazines.
Yes, another listener feedback show. Well partially because the second half is all about the rebirth of The Indiana Guitar Show! Super happy it's back and I had a great time! Listen up and hear about the experience. I do answer some questions about 70s Gibson guitars and attenuators.
I love listener feedback shows because I never know where they will take me. I get a question or comment from a listener and I think I know what I'm going to say for the most part but sometimes something comes out I didn't expect. I like these shows too because I know it's what you guys are wanting to hear about!

I can relate so much with this episode. I just recently started my guitar lessons. although I'm still 27, I have a 2yo kid, a wife and a job, so my practice time is pretty much between 21h and 23h. besides, this is my only time together with my wife, so I need to figure it out before diving into the guitar. Nonetheless, I'll just take my time and have fun. Good episode!
