If I am a fan of anything, this tuning would be it. Add a Trident to it and it sounds warm and sonically pleasing. Add the Eden and you get something special.

Super thankful for Zappy.

Love this plug-in. Super helpful to allow the bass to open just long enough for the kick to sneak through the mix.

Justin, making it look all so easy. He helped to experiment with a couple different room mic and over head placement.

Sunday Night Sessions: Nice to create something for myself for a change, and record with others again. It's a good feeling.

Story time:

My DeVille was my 3rd amp. My first was an amp from Sears which I no longer have and my 2nd amp was a Peavy. I havent played this guitar since disbanded in 2011? This was my axe for a long time. Until it wasn't. And it sat in a case. I pulled it out for a jam session today and was surprised at how good she felt in my hands again. I bought my SG in 2011. Until now I didnt know what I wanted to write or sound like. So, ive been exploring some old ideas and making them fresh again. Writing new parts for half finished ideas.

I am 42. I had fooled myself into believing that I had nothing left to offer. I didn't know who I was musically anymore. I had won the fan favorite vote for 99.3 The Fox Seeds in 2011. I had commercial success with and the music we made could last a thousand life times but that too had to end.

I'm still not sure what the overall vibe is yet but it doesnt matter.

Write. Play. Jam. Create. Youll figure it out.

"Germany Khput, here we come Vancouver."

To all of our Canadian vets, past present and future today, more than any other day let us not forget that so many young men and woman have lost their lives to protect the world from fascism and tyranny. Hate has no place in the world. 🇨🇦

And to my US of A counterparts - Thank you to all of your men and woman who have served or continue to do so. I have met many of you in my travels and your humility always touches me. 🇺🇸

Never forget.
