In this episode I chat with fellow Oklahoman and guitarist Millisa Henderson about her humble start as a kid learning how to play guitar and eventually joining the ranks of fellow Berklee college graduates.  Millisa gives us some insight into her musical influences as well as how the COVID pandemic has impacted her career and what musical projects she's working on. We also discuss the importance of humility and that as a musician you never stop learning the instrument.  Join us for some laughs and good times!   

I would like to thank Millisa for taking the time to join me on this episode.

In this solo episode I talk a bit about various topics which include: ibanez prototype, VH, 90's visual kei and I tend to ramble a bit on various topics. More playing is taking place as usual per each episode. I also talk for a bit about what songs I'm currently learning at the moment. As well as talks about ways to incorporate barre and open chords to electric solo playing.

I decided to record another impromptu bonus episode of the podcast.  I talk about the importance of the record 5150 and how the Van " Hagar" era of Van Halen records changed my life as a musician.  There's also some random off topic discussions during this episode. Recording this episode was pretty emotional for me. it's hard to lose a person who impacts you even though you don't know them personally. I also end up talking about my acoustic arrangement of the title track of 5150.   

I dedicate this episode in loving memory of EDDIE VAN HALEN. May you shed in the sky!

it's that time of year again, so I've decided to celebrate my birthday by recording a quick episode of the podcast. In this episode, I talk about the current up to date status of the Ibanez and talk about a song that I've learned: My Secret Place by Joni Mitchell. As with every show, more playing is involved! I end up exploring the tuning of C# G# D# F# G# C# capoed on 2nd fret.   As always thanks to Reformed by Iron for being our first sponsor.
