As musicians progress through their careers, eventually they change focus from creator to either a teacher or a mentor. They still can create, but there is a focus on giving back and fostering the next generation of musicians. But what if that creative process continues to exite, energize, and inspire the musician because there is so much they still have to say?

That is what we have here with not only one of the greatest voices in rock music in the 21st century, but also one of the most consistent musicians of all time with 2 highly successful bands, and 1 incredible solo exploration project.

The one and only Myles Kennedy joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. You know him from Alter Bridge or Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, but the topic of the day is his latest solo record, The Art of Letting Go. On this episode, we talk with Myles about:

• Myles witnessing the reaction to his newest album The Art of Letting Go being more rock & riff based, continuing to show range in his overall artistic style.
• Why Myles still has so much more to say musically and how he is still inspired by the creative process to satisfy his passion in life.
• The importance Myles puts on lyric writing, understanding the responsibility his lyrics have when impacting so many people across the world.

This episode is the perfect 30 minute snapshot of Myles and why his music has continued to connect with fans for over 20 years. Don't miss out on the next artists to take that claim, hit the subscribe button below.
