Finishing this album was like climbing a never ending mountain. So it seemed very fitting on release day to let my guitars beat the heck out of me one last time. These are the two work horse guitars of the album and I lugged them all the way up #kokohead today to say thank you. "I'm overwhelmed at the thought that God knew before I was conceived what this gift would mean to me. I'm overjoyed when I think that he loved me enough to prepare such an instrument for my pleasure." -The Pianist Psalm by Nancy Wolf. ๐
My message to all the YouTube, TikTok, IG musicians that run their entire business model around covers, reactions, drama, and cringe content. #reels #guitar #coversong #reaction #drama
The 10 HARDEST Tricks I've EVER done! Definitely a few honorable mentions missing from this, like the 540 Flip Rock Fakie! Thank you Hawaii for all the fun skateparks and to the guys that know they filmed a few of these! At 38 years old I'm really starting to wonder if I have an NBD somewhere still left in the tank! โ๏ธ๐ #hawaii #skateboarding #edits #top10 #skatepark
๐คฏ๐๐NEW PLAYTHROUGH: Hey there everyone! Bout time to drop another guitar video. If you dig this one (it sounds amazing use headphones) be sure to like comment and share on your story!! Thanks so much! ๐ค๐ And to ramble on further about this video, the last words of the tattoo on my left arm, "What This Gift Would Mean To Me", as part of a poem my mother wrote about being a pianist and feeling overwhelmed that God knew how much she would enjoy her gift. This Christmas, as is frequently true, what you give back and give to others is the act that will truly give you joy. I needed to visit this song again, it was in my game plan to do another video of this song, I just haven't got to it until now. Recorded on my new Baritone Hifi Duet system, Fishman pedal, and an AKG C1000s mic, all 3 tones blended together on a nice wide spectrum. Enjoy and thank you for checking it out. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year! @akgaudio@lrbaggsofficial@alvarez_guitar@fishmanmusic #acousticguitar #instrumental #fingerstyle #original
Not your average Oahu skatepark routine. This challenge is truly difficult on many levels. I almost gave up, started to rain at Banzai, big slams, bad traffic, getting sore. Early on I spent too much time at Keolu on a hard trick and was already getting tired. I finally got into the flow. Spending only 10-15 mins at each park. 10 Skateparks, 10 clips before sunset was the goal. You know this is the only routine I've ever needed to be happy! Skateboarding all damn day and so sore and can't move my neck, shoulders, and back is completely fried from a few bad slams. Unironically this challenge video is dedicated to continuing my normal routine and staying healthy. #routine #skateboarding #hawaii
