Happy Birthday Jimi!

Jimi Hendrix would have been 69 years old today. I like to think of a world in which Jimi existed for more than the 4-6 years that he changed the face of rock music. But we only had him for a few years and boy did he jam a bunch of awesomeness in to just [...]

I Met BB King!

I had the opportunity to meet BB King on Saturday night, and all I can say is “wow.” This is a world class musician who has toured the world dozens of times, played over 15,000 shows in career lasting 60+ years, met heads of state, and changed the face of music… …and he’s also incredibly [...]

Meeting Vernon Reid from Living Colour

I don’t normally stop famous people when I see them. I ate dinner next to (literally right next to) Randy Couture at a locals spot about a month ago, and despite my lady poking me on the leg every 45 seconds, I did not identify that I knew who he was or ask for an [...]

Experience Hendrix Show Review

The Experience Hendrix tour opened their 2011 tour in Vegas last night. What a show! Just like last year, the bill was full of rock guitar monsters paying homage to Jimi. (I tried to record a bit of it but was slapped down by the man, so you’ll have to do with the written descriptions.) [...]

New Guitar

I started playing guitar when I was 5. About a year later, my folks got me my first full sized acoustic guitar. I had the thing for years (10 or so) before learning anything about it. It is called a Madeira – a cheap import that Guild made in the late 60′s and early 70′s. [...]

My buddy Billy Kay is a successful online marketer, Las Vegan, musician, and now – music video star! Billy’s doing what he loves: Making music and sharing it. Granted, he probably has a bit more disposable income for these projects than most guitar pickers, but still, you gotta give the guy a hand for going [...]

Going Back To Guitar School

I just had my first guitar lesson in 6 years. My teacher, Marc Seguin, was in cold-ass Montreal while I learned from the lovely desert climes of Las Vegas. Internet is something, isn’t it? I was a bit skeptical of these jazz guitar lessons, which were held via Skype. I wasn’t sure if Marc was [...]
