Yesterday would have been Les Paul's 100th birthday and NYC celebrated in a massive way. The father of modern electric guitar and multi-track recording was honored by some of the best guitarists in the world. Guitarists included Johnny A, Joe Satriani, Joe Bonamassa, Steve Vai, Steve Miller, Warren Haynes, G.E. Smith, Neil Schon and others. Each guitarist played an individual set with the house band, led by legendary G.E. Smith, and culminated into a full out jam with all the guitarists on stage at the same time, taking turns soloing. AMAZING NIGHT to celebrate the man who defined music as we hear it today. Here is a clip of Steve Vai from the event.

Black Label Society at The Paramount last night. Zakk Wylde is a absolute monster guitarist and put on a great show. He was switching from guitar to piano and even rocked a double neck version of his Bullseye Gibson Les Paul (12 String & 6 string). This is a little clip of their opener Losing Your Mind. What a great group of players and a great vibe.

I thought that Christmas was over?!? Does it shock anyone that this is a Pearl kit for the band KISS?

Prototype Supro guitars at the NAMM show!!!!! The guitars look and sound great - being played by some of the best.... Thank you to David Koltai and the Supro / Pigtronix family for always being awesome and making some killer products! #NAMM2015 #Supro #BestAmps #Watchout

Got a chance to see Fear Factory at the famous Whiskey a Go Go in California this past weekend. Interesting night to say the least - ran into Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen and Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell introduced Fear Factory.....(who saw that coming?!?!?!) Great show to say the least... This clip is the epic intro to one of the songs. I love it when a band can get an audience going - California metalheads are pretty rabid - especially for their hometown heroes Fear Factory.

A little footage for all the headbangers - One of my personal favorites - In Flames(Official). Here is a clip of them playing Paralyzed off their new album Siren Charms in NYC @ Terminal 5. They have been around a long time and still on top of their game. Great show and amazing band!

Working with the talented Mike Levine today.... While taking a break from recording, he shared a fun acoustic version of LMFAO's "I am sexy and I know it".

By request, more video of the whole troop....

At Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, TX. - An incredible residential Studio Retreat with world-class gear and people. Was lucky to see the Mighty Chapin Husky Marching Band from El Paso lend a helping hand to a band recording a new record. The Ranch is known for making all visions a reality for the artist - a mantra that we also share at Tone House.

Can you ever have too many guitar pedals?????

Went out last night to see Tone House friend Johnny A at the YMCA Boulton Center for the Performing Arts in Bayshore. Johnny is a serious player, sponsored by Gibson and has his own Gibson Signature custom guitar. Great guy and great player. For those of you who don't know him, check him out and get his new album Driven. Thank you for your hospitality last night Johnny!! By the way, the sound is incredible at the Boulton Center - I looked at the PA Speakers and noticed they were Smith Audio Loudspeakers - Go figure - Nothing but the best from our good friends at Davidson Electronics who are the design team behind these amazing speakers. CD Quality sound.... All in all amazing night....

Had a great time last week - Patrick, myself and Chris from Bronze Radio Return, went to Supro Amp Headquarters to check out their new amps. Patrick and Chris are being sponsored by Supro and are now sporting a Supro Thunderbolt and a Supro Coronado. These new creations of the famous amplifiers smoke!!! This is a sample of them jamming out on the amps....Enjoy!!!

Metalheads invade Tone House!!! Relentless fury of Sonic Riffage!!! Today we had the pleasure of recording the extremely brutal Death Metal band Deprived Existence. This technical outfit was here firing out riffs all day long. Posted a video clip of Tom recording guitar tracks. We had great results using a Laney Ironheart Amp into a Randall 4 x 10 cabinet. Sennheiser 421 on the top right speaker and and SM57 on the bottom left. Razor sharp tone with low end thickness - Great definition for the down-tuned guitars. Thank you John and Tom for giving us the opportunity to work with you. We wish you a lot of luck and look forward to working with you again. Tone House Studios is a full service recording studio catering to all styles of music and works with those who take their tone seriously.

We don't recommend it - but we appreciate this guy's support in getting the word out there....

The Tone House Boys went out to see the Brothers last night.... Just wanted to share a little video of some back and forth between Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes... These two guys were featured last night and were absolutely amazing!!! They showed that they can put the team on their shoulders and do the heavy lifting when necessary. It felt like the torch was passed last night from Greg to Warren. Warren really shined whether it was playing lead or singing. He played a lot of slide last night; showing people that Derek is not the only guy in the band who is down right nasty with a slide. Some people were upset they did not play more of the classics - but those who appreciate great guitar work will tell you that they showed another side to themselves last night. They are evolving as musicians and just might be why they are going to be parting ways with the Allman Brothers. If this is foreshadowing what the future holds for Derek and Warren, I think they are going to keep their loyal following for a long time. Thank you for your years of musical servitude - going to Allman Brothers shows are some of my fondest concert memories and I have been blessed to see so many special guests play with them over the years -from Eric Clapton to ZZ Top, Johnny Winter to Crosby, Stills and Nash to name a few. There is a reason the brothers are so well loved by their loyal fan base and professional musician peers alike. Keep on Truckin'

Packy from Bronze Radio Return ( http://bronzeradioreturn.com/ ) was at Tone House Studios today tracking some guest lead work on the new Not afraid of Ghosts EP. This is a little clip of him playing on the song "Sun Chase Moon". He is playing on an authentic 1969 Fender Stratocaster going through a Klon Centaur Overdrive (Early Gold horsie version) into a Original Way Huge Aqua Puss Reverb Pedal into a Dr. Z Maz 38 Amp plugged into a Vintage Marshall 1965 4 x 10 Cabinet. The cab was mic'ed with (2) SM57's (One a beta & 1 regular) going into a pair of Neve 1073's through Lavry Blue Converters straight into the Mac. That is a classic Tone House recipe for killer guitar - Only premium ingredients!!!!

Packy from Bronze Radio Return ( http://bronzeradioreturn.com ) was at Tone House Studios today checking out some new gear and tracking some guitars. This guy has got some serious chops!!! Check him out playing our Suhr Andy Wood Signature model. Not the type of axe you would normally find in his arsenal, but he still gave it his seal of approval. Packy and Bronze Radio Return hit the road starting on January 29th at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC in support of their latest release Up, On & Over. Tickets are still available through Ticketmaster and Up, On & Over is available for purchase on iTunes. Thanks for for visiting us Packy and Good Luck on Tour!
