That low open C always gets me 🥵 A little throw back from this fun September ‘23 jam on the Mule @muleresonatorguitars Don’t worry, I’ll get back to posting new stuff soon. Have just been taking a little break after quite the busy summer. I really want to thank you all for the kind words and support you show me. It’s greatly appreciated #slideguitar #bluesrock #therockslide #stringjoy #stringjoystrings #tone #opentuning #muleresonator #openC #fattone

New guitar! @bngguitars knocked this one out of the park 👌 I always tend to test new guitars with a slow blues. What’s your song you play with a new guitar?

A funky mule-bar-blues in open C 🎸 My mind has been all over the place lately working on various projects but here’s a little funky blues of me trying to imitate an organ player morphed with slide guitar haha I don’t know if I was really trying to do that but it was fun.

Throwback to this classic. Had a 12-hour drive in the band van yesterday and ended up going down the rabbit hole of old videos. Still haven’t released a proper full recording of this one yet, but me and my band are getting on top of things this summer. New music, classic covers, and more coming soon. Let me know if you have any requests 🎸 #superstition #steviewonder #jeffbeck #slideguitar #openCtuning

Funk #49 – James Gang Joe Walsh was the first guitar hero I ever met. I was about 14 or 15 at an awesome farm party he was playing. I stood just outside the circle of people talking to him, waiting for a chance to say hello. He turned, saw me, and introduced himself. It was the first time I was ever truly starstruck. I couldn’t form a full sentence — couldn’t even get a word out (not that I’m great at forming full sentences at the best of times). Haha. Still, he took his time to chat with me once I settled down. Then played an absolutely incredible set with some of the best tones I’d ever heard. Such a cool night.

Mixing things up with the whammy bar #jeffbeck People were digging this clip I put up in my story so I thought why not make it a reel. It’s only iPhone audio quality but still 🎸🎶 Gear: @novoguitars Serus J @dvdby13 JRT 9/15 @diamondpedals memory lane @uaudio Starlight @strymonengineering flint @therockslide medium brass slide @stringjoy 11-49 (standard tuning)

Last minute submission for the #HENDRIXSoloChallenge by @mateusasato #MateusAsato I haven’t been on the socials for a bit, so I had no idea this challenge was happening. I just saw this was the last day so when I got home I thought it’d be fun to do a take. Throwing down some fat open C tuning licks on the Mulecaster.
