The May 16 playlist was as follows:
So, me and the guitar go back a pretty long time. And while we've had our ups and downs, I've somehow managed to make a full-time or part-time living doing guitar and guitar-adjacent things for more than 30 years. I guess, all things considered, the guitar has been pretty good to me (for which I'm grateful).
At this stage of my career, I kinda figured I'd be ramping down and settling into a life of playing music mostly for my personal enjoyment. But like it's always done in the past, music made different plans for me.
In a lot of ways, I'm busier, more creative, and more motivated than ever. 23-year-old me would have been proud, I think. And I'm pretty sure 23-year-old me would want me to lean into it. So here I am.
In the coming weeks and months, I plan to release a bunch of new guitar instrumental music. And, drawing from my decades of experience as a working musician and member of the musical instrument industry, I also plan to put out a lot of blog and video content that I hope will provide insight and value to aspiring players.
Anyway, thank you for visiting my new site. Please check back regularly, and if you feel like it, drop me a line!
