Happy release day to my friend and NYC music legend, JJ Hayes.

I’ve been a fan of JJ and his music since we met at Sidewalk Cafe around 2008, he always struck me as an extraordinary guy and our friendship has born that out over and over again through the years. If you give the time to absorb JJ’s songs, you’ll be rewarded with the nuggets of his wisdom, warmth and wit.

I invite you this chilly fall morning to take part in the ritual of recharging your psychic energy. Do as JJ would do - brew a BIG pot of black coffee, find a clean and well lit place; sit, watch and listen.

Personnel:
JJ Hayes - Acoustic Guitar and Vocals
- Keysmurphy.14 - Bass, Acoustic guitar
- BGVs
Alex P - etc etc

Firing up the ol that I found in a pile of trash on the lower east side in 2008. This is a surprisingly hi fi mix down deck if you hit it right, but one of my go to uses for it is Tape Delay. Really shines on vocals and snares, but sometimes it’s the special sauce for a guitar solo, as we see in this example. LMK if you’d like an explainer vid on tape delay, it’s kind of innaresting if you haven’t thought about it before.

Tooling around a 1968 Ampeg Reverbojet. I’d never seen one before, what a beauty! Reverb is perfect and the Tremelo is 🤌. Thankyou for hunting down the gremlins and getting this beast in shape. What you think?

Fretting behind the slide exercise - just run a major scale and replace whatever note you’d play with ring/pinkie finger with a slide note. Don’t be discouraged by the clams - it’s gonna be a seafood buffet for a while. Just meditate into playing with a light touch. This is in standard tuning and with a tele with medium/low action. I am offering private slide lessons - please DM me if interested!
