Homeskoolin’ Day At The Office “Anything Else Jaime?”

Chapters
00:00 - Working as a session / producer


Notes
Some days at work are just very relaxing…finishing up this record i am producing for Jaime French and I gotta say, sitting at the console listening to Wendy Moten sing backup vocals all day is not a bad way to make a living friends.

The hardest part of the day was deciding what to order for lunch

Trust me, this ain’t the way it goes every day…as much as I wish it was.

Surround yourself with extremely talented people and life is a hell of a lot more interesting

Check out Jaime French on YouTube …she is a well known comedian who also happens to be an amazing singer

Really enjoying this project …hope you enjoy as well friends

Homeskoolin’ Bonus “BIG Bang For The Buck”

Chapters
00:00 - 'TOP of clean sound' amp


Notes
You would be AMAZED if you knew how many of your favorite guitar parts were recorded with one of these legendary grossly underpriced beasts.

The Roland Jazz Chorus 120

There was a time in music history when basically EVERYONE was using one of these amps…
you know why? Cuz they sound fucking amazing

For what it costs to buy one of these , there is really no excuse not to have one

Certainly not the right amp for everything, but the stuff it IS right for? There ain’t nothing better

A little hodge podge fun to get you through a rainy Saturday afternoon

Greg Voros and Nathan Golliher performing the impossible on a ‘47 Martin

A neck set so good you don’t even need glue…wow

Followed by a look at this sweet old 53 blackguard that recently floated across Uncle Larry’s transom

And then lastly a few string bends that the kids who invented the term “boomer bends” can stick directly up their ass pipe…

Have a great weekend friends
