This week I talked with Eric Snyder about ignoring the popular genres of the day and playing the style of music that you really love, collaborating with bandmates who have a different vision for the group, and learning to shred at the LA Musicians Institute aka Heavy Metal High School.

If you made it to the end of the episode and are wondering where Eric’s phone number is, I ultimately decided it probably wasn’t the best idea to post that on the internet.  We were kinda asking for trouble… :)  If you’re interested in guitar lessons with Eric, you can reach him at GuitarLessonsBellevue.com

Allie LaRoe drops by the podcast and tells us about her life as a full time musician.  Allie also opens up about writing songs for other people, the freedom that comes from using a stage name, and makes me seriously reconsider my disdain for the acoustic guitar!

In today's episode of the podcast, Lance Hofstad tells how he gets an audience to engage at a show, the long road he took to finding an original sound and style, and how he built a network of out of state musicians and venues as an independent, touring band.

On this episode of the podcast, Jalal Andre tells us about the pros and cons of writing music alone, the importance of sequencing the songs in an album, and remembering the melodies you hear in your dreams!

In today's episode, Levi Seitz walks us through the long road he took to starting his mastering company, Black Belt.  We talk about the mentors who open the doors of opportunity, working with your heroes, and quitting school to follow a girl.
