Hi. I’m procrastinating both my French homework and writing music which needs to be done ASAP. Here’s a little nostalgia piece onstage with @annaleeandtheauthority. P.C.: @scotsman (at Van Nuys, California)

Flying the mighty @ledzeppelin again today. Don’t really know how to play mandolin. @robertplantofficial @guitarspotter @universityofrock @caseydeeter @steviewoodward

“Guess about a thing you really oughta know...” @ledzeppelin @robertplantofficial @steviewoodward @universityofrock @guitarspotter (at Los Angeles, California)

Kicking out the jams with a riff from one of the great pure rock and roll bands of all time. @officialwaynekramer @universityofrock @guitarspotter @gibsonguitar @xoticusa thank you for giving us the indispensable BB Preamp MB . (at Los Angeles, California)

Missing my twenties just a little bit! P.C.: @zpyderworks (at The Hotel Cafe)

An outtake from my day of doing @ericclapton covers. There are a few errors that drive me nuts in this video but after 30 odd takes, I was over it. @guitarspotter (at Los Angeles, California)

Happy Easter! To all the new friends I’ve made here on IG, I want to say thank you very much for your continued support. I started this music channel as a hobby with low expectations but now I’m starting to get excited with how many real connections I’ve been making here. Let’s keep having fun together. Here’s a classic riff from @officialkeef done on my Green Rhino from @way.huge.electronics . @fender @universityofrock @guitarspotter @therollingstones (at Los Angeles, California)

It’s @ericclapton ‘s birthday today. The first official idol of “guitar hero” culture, the king of the blues rock lick and the one who made us all want to play lead. This riff is one of those ubiquitous ones that stands the test of time and is one of the first riffs we learn for good reason. Let’s also not forget how great Cream was as a band. (at Los Angeles, California)

Chilling things down a bit with this classic Jackson C. Frank song “popularized” through covers by people like Simon & Garfunkel and @johnmayer . (at Los Angeles, California)

An outtake from my meeting with @rocknthezen - not only a super talented bassist / singer but a pro photographer, thank you for making me look less slovenly! (at Studio City, California)

I love 10 hour recordings sessions cause I can show up in my jammies, read Jurassic Park and take naps while the engineers do real work. #recording #bluesrock #eprecording #femalefrontedband #gibsonsg #needsabetterbathroom #fenderrhodes (at Bedrock LA)

If you're a musician or music lover who like myself has become cynical at the grim state of music in general as of late, let me say that seeing @tompettyofficial has shone a light of hope. Even as the business model is completely fucked, we musicians are forced to become gimmicks just to make ends meet and even live show attendance seems to be dwindling - nothing is ever going to stop great songs like "Johnny B. Goode", "A Day in the Life" or "American Girl" from touching the hearts of millions. I saw thousands of people singing along and some crying to the latter on Saturday, and I realized THAT can never be taken away. Maybe the business as we know it needs to burn so it can be reborn again, but good music in itself is a void we all need filled. The world is always going to need people to make great music, and therefore, the world is going to find a way to make sure those people can continue to do so. P.S. nice pic Chaddo.

I used to think people were full of it when they'd say positive energy attracts more of the same but boy howdy...what a difference it makes when you get enough sleep, have some coffee, sing aloud horribly, abandon all pretense and surround yourself with easygoing, friendly people. I think everyone needs to try it. It's better than booze. Dare I say, it's better than food. #joiedevivre #bonheur #cincodemayo #cinqmai (at Eagle Rock, Los Angeles)
