~ Failure to Communicate ~ You know I want to say Many things, but don't I'm begging for the words to come But you tell me that they won't 'Cause it's like a river running down Or the rain pouring out a spout I gotta let it flow Thank you I, I think you're right And I know it like a joke 'Cause with the meaning I don't struggle But when I start to talk, I choke Would you help me figure out What the hell that I'm trying to say When I opened my mouth ? Failure to communicate And leaving things unsaid Hard to open up When you're stuck inside your head So would ya help me speak? The days had, the moments lost There's nothing I withheld It just takes me time to process All of the feelings that I felt So give me the benefit of the doubt And try not to ring me out When I'm pacing my thoughts Tenderly, I'm asking please To leave me be for now I'm pulling weeds and planting seeds In a new land that I found And if you want to receive Then all ya' gotta believe is my love Failure to communicate And leaving things unsaid Hard to open up When you're stuck inside your head So would ya help me speak? Would ya help me speak?

~ From The Heart ~ If it's coming from the heart You shouldn't fear what to say If it's coming from the heart Don't let the words get in your way Just take it from the start Everything will be okay If it's coming from the heart Then let your heart sting out today I used to think that I could hold Everything inside But from the truth I could never hide Now I'm trying to let it out Even if it sounds unkind I guess there's a price to pay If you want to speak your mind Left, right, day, night You don't have to pick a side But if shit don't fly, then don't be shy Say what you mean Mean what you say Nothing is ever going to get in the way If it's coming from the heart #SingerSongwriter #guitar #folk #soul #rocknroll

Training myself to fingerpick in the cold 🧊

I bought this pedal off of @reverb 3 years ago and it's been on every record I've made since. Let me show you why! @deathbyaudioeffects Rooms Stereo Reverberator 🔊🎛️

This @hologram_electronics microcosm pretty much makes everything you put through it sounds cinematic, introspective, and insanely textural. I highly suggest ignoring the manual, plugging it in, twisting some knobs, and just play... it spits out some pretty interesting stuff! Brings a smile to my face.

This new amplifier stand works pretty well #HondaTrail90

Come and record with me at @scenicburrows in Vancouver, WA 🌲🎶

I think I just cracked Keef's code on Street Fighting Man... pretty dang close I'd say! This song has been on my mind because @reverb is running a giveaway right now - a '52 Tele reissue with Keith Richards mods plus the original fuzz box that started it all. It's called the Satisfaction Sweepstakes and entering is just an email at reverb.com/sweeps. #TheRollingStones #Keef #LoFi #cassette #recording

This is your drum machine... and this is your drum machine on @29pedals Toki Fuzz 🍳(with a kiss of Space Echo 🧂)

@reverb wanted to know what that funny little box sitting on top of my amp was 🤔 It's a vintage Roland CR-68 drum machine! #Roland #CR68 #CompuRhythm #DrumMachine #JJCale

Here's a rift that I play all the time! I hope it can inspire at least one guitar player to get out of their riff-rut. I find so much good educational guitar content on this app, I figured I should do my part. Have a great weekend! 🎸

Like many musicians, I am a coffee addict 🙋‍♂️ I've been trying to cut my caffeine intake, and this @riverboattea Lavender Mint is doing the trick. Their tea is designed to steep like coffee grounds. Thanks guys! There's nothing like a warm cup in your hands up here in the PNW.
