The guides and Court play "Never Have I Ever," with a tour-specific twist in this extra content piece!

Court is a Nashville native guitarist that is a self-proclamied “non-dreamer," which is crazy to say because most people will only dream of the gigs this guy gets. His session credits include Colton Dixon, Matthew West, Matt Broussard, Griffin House, and Denver and The Mile High Orchestra. While hearing of his faith and the personal connections that help sustain his livelihood, we dive in to what makes Court one of the most sought after “home studio” session players while touring with R&B/Blues giant Jonny Lang full-time. We talk road life, session gear, tone, weed, and Jesus all in one episode! All rise…COURT'S IN SESSION!!

What is Driver's typical day like?

This week, the guides sat down with the guitarist from Eric Church’s band, Driver Williams. By far one of the coolest dudes to set foot in the bedroom with an English Lit degree. Driver has an interesting background growing up in the country music business but wanted nothing more than to be in a metal band. Brandon and Jason dig deep into his life, and they talk a lot about Driver’s influences in metal; Metallica, Dimebag Darrell, Hatebreed, etc and how he made his way back to the world of country. This episode is chocked full of stories like hanging out with Dimebag Darrell from Pantera, how the rock fans embraced Eric Church in a time that rock was dying, getting kicked off the Rascal Flatts tour, and how Driver's song “Smoke A Little Smoke” was co-written with Eric Church and Jeff Hyde, becoming the most played song on American Jukeboxes. This episode is for players, songwriters, metal fans, and Eric Church fans...DRIVER WANTED!

The guides talk in this extra content piece about situational mixing with Pat Hundley.

The guides are still stuck in Las Vegas but they got to hang out with producer/mix engineer Pat Hundley. Pat’s credits include working with Lil Jon, Yowda, Rick Ross, DJ Paul (formerly of Three 6 Mafia), and Fetty Wap. Pat has learned from the school of hard knocks along with some guidance from Bjorn Thorsrud (Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan, and Monster Magnet) and has big plans for Sin City. We talk gear, his favorite studios, the difference between a producer and an engineer in the hip hop scene, and of course we look into what is making Pat the next big thing in Vegas. In Lil Jon fashion, we like to call this episode WHHAAAATT!?!
