Extremely grateful for the opportunity to share what we do best with great bands and rabid crowds. Thank you @ghost_note_official for sharing the stage and thank you @moesalley for the perfect venue to pop this bottle of soul and funk. Keep an eye out for more dates with the incredible @andrecruzandchrislujan . Until next time✌🏽
Thanks to @j.j.blair ‘s multitrack listens and @ella_rae_feingold ‘s lessons I can finally make out details in some buried guitar tracks on some classic tunes. Thomas McClary absolutely painting a masterpiece with his right hand here. #funkguitar #rhythmguitar #brickhouse #commodores #telecaster #sireguitars
Broke down and got a @strymonengineering Flint with photocell tremolo and knew I had to cover this song. It’s harder than it looks but very satisfying to play and such a hauntingly beautiful guitar tone. Recorded with my @harmonyguitars Silhouette, a Strymon Flint, and a @fender Princeton. #soulguitar #strymonengineering #strymonflint #harmonyguitars

With a song name as cool as Dopus by the @truelovesband I needed to give this one a whirl. @jimmyscratchjames feel is just unrivaled. #funkguitar #trueloves #jimmyjames
Had no idea @harmonyguitars was still making amazing instruments. Really stoked to add this to the stable and thanks @truetone_music for helping me find this beauty and great setup. #funkguitar #soulguitar #harmonyguitars
