Quality over quantity This is a steadfast principle in every facet of my life. It must be a priority to be your true best self. I recommend a great book and a vintage work horse guitar pedal today. Both stand the test of time. Remember, you’re not going to live forever.

Your just a picture, just an image caught in time… -Ronnie James Dio Sanger, TX 1999 We shot this in Sanger with one of my guitar students chasing us in his Bi-plane. It’s a nod to one of my favorite movies. “North by Northwest.” starring Cary Grant. I love B & W photos.

Summertime 6 weeks from now You could have a strong foundation in your psychological approach to carve a niche in music just for yourself. Six months from now, simply at the end of the year, you could be good enough to be in a band. 6 months is a long time. It works.

Don’t forget to pick up that guitar. Layla and Luke did yesterday at @Toneshop Guitars in Addison just like their Dad did over 20 years ago. I’ll say it again “the only thing that happens when you wait is you get older”

Dynamics Strive for dynamics in your guitar playing. You will have to go back and listen to older music to find gold in this regard. Music today is very monotone, plastic and digital in this decade. I find the best way to do this is listening to singers. #music

The Guitar Solo Here’s a great little story about the genesis of the guitar solo on my single “Not of This World” It’s one of those experiences in life you couldn’t imagine if you tried. It all started over a couple of beers one night with my friend Allan Holdsworth. Enjoy

Summertime 3 chords and the truth. We all hear about that one. There’s a lot of truth to it. Merle Haggard learned how to play in jail and the cat that taught him used a baseball analogy about first base second base and third base being three chords. I came up the same way.

Humbucker The engineer that designed the “humbucker” pickup was a genius. I love the Fender Stratocaster. It’s my favorite guitar. It’s just the single coil pickupup acts like an antenna and has that annoying 60 cycle hum. This riddle was solved by the engineer that did this.

Acylum This is the DBA my Dad helped me record at the Harris County courthouse in Houston Texas when I was 17 years old. We were already gigging and then and we had a gig at a skating rink where we actually made a little bit of money. So it was time to officially be a business.

Tone To me, your tone is your signature. When I was younger, I worked a lot on my tone on the Piano. The way you touch the Piano has everything to do with the way it sounds when you play it. I learned this from carefully watching Vladimir Horowitz. #music #song #erickeyes

Acoustic Guitar I spend at least half of my time playing on an acoustic guitar. I leave them sitting around the house so when I walk past them, I’ll pick them up. My favorite is my Martin and I’ve got a couple of great Spanish guitars. #guitar #music #acoustic #song #erickeyes

Fried Chicken When food is love it transcends all the “is it healthy for you bullshit.” Also if your Grandma cooks it for you, it doesn’t matter what it is. It’s good for you. You can put that in your Culinary bank account and deposit it. Look how many songs mention Fried Chickn

The Lion’s Den “ Know that in front of your face and all that is hidden shall be revealed” It’s important to go back and trace the footsteps of the masters that came before us. I do it every morning with Bach. #guitar #song #music #clintstrong #erickeyes
