    P.S. Trucks wife is Susan Tedeschi, who has her own band. Her chops on the turquoise Tele are not too bad. They usually tour seperate, but cameo each others shows from time to time. They recently did a little Austin club together, mostly acous...(more)

    We drove 13 hours to see Derek and his band at 'Live on the Green' in Nashville last week. We discovered that the leader of the opening trio was a guy that also previously joined the Allman Brothers for 3 years before Derek... named Jack Pearson...(more)

    I don't exactly know what is meant by 'position himself'... but I assume you mean he's attempting to model himself after Clapton. I've seen them both in concert in the last year, both shows were amazimg. Mayer 'jumping genres', so to speak, is m...(more)

    James, I am not a guitar finish expert, but I will tell you that our spray man has lightly scuffed some previously urethaned pieces of furniture and overcoated with waterbournes or solvent base lac, with success. Some will turn turn to a crin...(more)

    Joe, I bought a Michael Kelly Custom Patriot 'lefty' two years ago and it is still my favorite of all my electrics...very full fat sound. Little better built than my epiphone les pauls. Enjoy! Kenny

    Thanks Bryan, I ate all the cookies. Now I,m full, but now I have sound. I owe you. I'll think of you next month when I'm shopping for lefty guitars in Recife, Brazil. This year, I AM going to bring one back. Each year I say I am,then I don't. T...(more)

    Can anyone help me undo the 'stop music' icon at the bottom left of my screen? (fifth icon) Appearently it got pushed a few months back and now I have no sound, only on lessons. I have sound on threads and pushing the red circle slash doesn't u...(more)

    If all you have to do for the neck backbow is to 'wear a hat' ...what do you do for the 'behind the nut break?' ....ouweee. Serious, what Craig says is true. once wood is bowed, most all 'fixes' are temporary... and will usually return to their...(more)

    My wife and I took a drive last weekend to see Joe B at the Beaumont Club in Kansas City. Kenny Loggins' kid opened up for him, (that was grueling) but despite that fact, it was this guitar players' total delight to see two hours of totally int...(more)

    David, I made the change 4 years ago from left on righties, to left on lefties... smartest thing I ever did. Eventually when you see a right handed player, you will automatically think of your pick hand and your fret hand, not left or right. Go...(more)
