The Musician's Room: What's New in the Studio?




12/21/2021 The last recording session for the year is done and the lights are off in the studio. I'm home for the holidays and working on getting everything squared away for my little family's Christmas. It's a great time to begin slowing down and taking the time to give thanks for all the good things in my life, and to wish each and every one of you a peaceful Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year!!!




12/02/2021 Every year I see guys fretting about what to get their wives for Christmas. So, every year I update my Gentleman's Guide to Buying Christmas Gifts for His Wife and offer it to my friends. I've just done the update and you can find it, HERE.

07/19/2021 A while back I posted an article about a "five-minute setup" I've created, a setup that allows me to drop in to my little guitar room when I have just a few minutes and play. I've since migrated from a POD HD500 to a Helix Floor and that has offered some nice capabilities. I updated the article to reflect the changes, and you can read the update, HERE.
