This week I sit down with Corey Congilio! Corey is touring guitarist, session musician, and music educator with over 20 years under his belt. We don't get too deep into his playing back story but more into how he broke into the industry. From working with TrueFire, gear demos, lesson, touring, playing session, and the countless clinics with Fishman and Martin Corey has done it all. Along with that his lessons through his site Working Class Guitar are absolutely top notch! Corey is such an awesome dude and such a phenomenal guitarist. I had a great time talking with Corey and I know you'll love it too!

So right when I started TikTok Alicca and I found each other and hit it off fairly quickly. She's an awesome singer and as she likes to put it "mediocre" guitar player..... I'd disagree. She's mostly on TikTok doing covers but she recently starting playing with a band "Drowning in Violet" and its pretty top notch stuff in my opinion. I had a great time finally getting to sit down and talk with Alicca and I know you all will enjoy the conversation too!

This week I sit down with Taylor Cox from Amplified Nation. Taylor got his start by restoring cab and started diving into the mysterious world of Dumble amp and he hasn't stop since. We get into Taylors back story, what drew him to the Dumble style of amps, and so much more. This is one of those conversations that I was pretty ignorant about but loved learning so much in our conversation. I had a blast talking with Taylor and I know you'll enjoy the conversation too.

This week I sit down with Jim Anthony. He's a singer/songwriter from the Minneapolis area is he has a pretty awesome story. We connected on tiktok a few weeks ago and after watching a bunch of his lives I knew I had to have him on the show. Jim is one of the most talented singer/songwriters I've had the opportunity to connect with on tiktok and his song "True American Hero" really pulls at my heart being a Veteran myself. I had a blast talking to Jim and I know you'll enjoy this episode as much I enjoyed recording it!

This week I sit down with Adam Patrick Johnson. Adam is a musician, content creator, and a podcaster. His goal besides playing music for a living; which he's been doing now for half his life; is the coach and teach everyone to run their band, music, or content like a business. I mean the end goal is for most "serious" musicians is to make their money with their passion. The problem with that is most people have a misconception of what that really means. Adam through all of his social media content as well as his podcast "Cover Band Confidential" he address all of those misconceptions. I know you'll love this episode, I learned so much an had such a great time talking to him.

Ya'll, This is a big one; Mr. Brian Wampler! Brian is the reason I got back into to gear, talking my playing more seriously, starting to push more on social media, and to start this very podcast! Though if you don't know Brian essentially makes his living making "toys" for guitar player....... but on this episode I like how he refers to is as "providing the paint for the artist". Besides creating awesome pedals for Wampler Pedals Brian is also marketer and extremely savvy on all the social media outlets he uses to promote Wampler. Though most of this episode we just shoot the breeze and talk everything from Wampler, social media, self doubt, and so much more! I know you'll love this episode as much as I did recording it!
