Lovepedal: Sean's having a flash sale starting today. What do you guys know about his stuff? I've heard good things about the Zen Drive and the Purple Plexi. I missed out on the Vibronaut he released earlier this week. It was limited to 50 units. By time I opened the email, they were gone with the wind. Any positive comments would be appreciated.

What?

Two cannibals were eating a clown. One looked up and said to the other, "Does this taste funny to you?"

I've been working on a lot lately. It seems that Chord Progressions and different Major and Minor Scales seem to be the focus of all my efforts. This also includes both major and minor blues scales and their relative minor or major scales for improvisation and soloing. As far as the chord progressions go. I'm finding it so useful to creating good sounding music. The use of Harmonized major and minor chord progressions as well as 7th chords, has been a real benefit to my growth as a musician. What are you working on?

They are made well. They play well. They sound great. In the end, that's all that counts. I own both Gibson and Fender guitars and love them all.

Yes they do.

Tool always has unique Titles for its music.from Undertow, Prison Sex. From Aenima, Stinkfist and Hooker with a Penis .

I wonder if Frank Sidoris is going to play second guitar for Slash. I know he's worked with Slash before and he's played with the likes of Wolfgang Van Halen.

Yeah I see that now. I meant 2100. Not sure what I was thinking (takes another sip of coffee and looks up at the Arsenal vs. Aston Villa match).

Yeah, you probably couldn't include that on an album these days. Not with a Woke Social Mob ready to jump your a$$ for violating the "Me Too Movement's" sanctity. Think about the song, "Rolling Stone," where Dr. John sings "We've got a blue-eyed, teenage groupie who will do anything we say." No, you'll have the Dept. of Justice knocking on your door (Sean Combs) or the Los Angeles PD like they did to Don Henley back in 1980.

I saw a Rick Beato video last week that indicated that the following bands will still be played in the year 2021; based on Spotify spins: Nirvana Queen The Police The Beatles I wouldn't count Nirvana as a Joke as they seem to have the staying power (at least on Spotify) than other bands like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd and the Who. And I should add that other '90s bands, Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, Alice in Chains, or bands like the Foo Fighters (Dave Growl) do not even come close to what Nirvana was able to do in it's short-lived existence. I agree that many bands do not possess the ability to perform like Humble Pie did. The closest I've seen was the Black Crowes and those performances were few and far between because of extenuating circumstances.

I had posted I last saw Slash in 2018. After careful reflection it was February 2022. 10th row, center stage. Here's a couple pics. Found one of these Explorers online. $10,000.00

John, I wish you multiple music horizons as you charge headlong into a phase of your life. Sorry for the loss of your wife. I'm 60 now and can't imagine if I were to lose mine as she is my everything. That SG was absolutely beautiful man. A lot of people will be happy to own such an iconic axe. 🙂

It's funny how a youtube algorithm sends a bunch of musicians or musically inclined folks a video like this. My wife and I were both watching this video yesterday morning, which is something that totally surprised me that she would want to watch, but she did and was quite into it. I got to see Humble Pie a long time ago at the Long Beach Arena in California. They opened for Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. What a concert, right! Frampton had left the band by then, but it still was an amazing show. I've always loved Humble Pie and as I said earlier, seeing that video yesterday was cool. The backup singers and Steve Marriott's interaction with them was great. When I said Peter Frampton was in the band, my wife picked him out immediately. So she got a thrill out of it too. Thanks for posting.

Phil, so sorry for the loss of your wife. Wow. You've had some rough times over the last few years with the fire, rebuilding and now her passing. I'm so sorry for you. My condolences to you and yours. Would it be alright to call you. I believe I still have your number. You still in the Agoura Hills area? That's a beautiful guitar. Instrumental music. I was in there two or three months ago. Playing the Martin D-35 Johnny Cash they had there. I watched that video. You look good Phil. Todd
