Well, for those who actually read my blogs, thanks so much! Here's another one for ya (to quote David Coverdale...) I turned 53 years old on November 2nd, and am very proud of that. Some people freak about getting older but not me. I embrace it. It's better than the alternative, right? Last Sunday I had rehearsal but not with Mike Sabatini. HUH? Don't worry, he's still playing on the next album. B... » Continue Reading

So I did a thing today. Had rehearsal with drummer/engineer Mike Sabatini at his studio in Jersey City. Started pre-production on the new album. Oh it will be the ninth (!!) opus. You read that right. We went through the song a few times, recorded it for our own references. Have to say, it's pretty sweet. Definitely HEAVY but has a lot of groove and attitude. Mike has great ears, so he knows wha... » Continue Reading

While the world (as well as I) wait for the ninth studio album, inspiration came to me a couple of days ago and glad I acted on it. My brain never shuts off! A very good friend of mine, Larry Mitchell, made a post about "a piece of light". And me being me, thought "Wow that would make a cool song title." (BTW: Larry is a KILLER guitarist!!) So yesterday morning, I picked up one of my trusty Ibane... » Continue Reading

Well here we are into October. And what have we learned, class? This year really FLEW! Been super busy with teaching, and that's going well. Every student is different so it's a big challenge for me, and I enjoy it. I was teaching "Master Of Puppets" a lot this summer, thanks to STRANGER THINGS. Now the students are bored with the song. That happens. The song is too damn long anyway. Musically, as... » Continue Reading

Got home from teaching this past Thursday night, and my only thought was "FOOD!" So as I was scarfing down some leftover pasta, what happens next? A new song comes to me. Inspiration through dinner...gotta love it. Wrote the ideas down after stuffing my face. I couldn't write fast enough as the ideas were dying to get out. Now the next part: recording the rough demo. But not at night while most of... » Continue Reading

Last Saturday was the awards show for the ISSA. My album MOOD SWINGS was up for Male Album Of The Year. No it didn't win. Yes I was pretty bummed about it. But you know something? It was nominated back in March, which was impressive to begin with. Then enough people said "Hey let's vote for it" back in April, and it advanced to the finals. Whoa! What? My quirky instrumental guitar fiasco was a co... » Continue Reading

I will make this brief, so here you go... I have decided to end my tenure with Naked Glory. It was fun but felt the ship had run its course, so I stepped off. No bad blood, no cursing, just a healthy heartfelt conversation between myself and the drummer. She is understandably upset but gets why I am no longer performing with her band. I am confident she will find another guitarist to bring things ... » Continue Reading

I could have swore I wrote something on Sunday about the NJ METALFEST 7 show here? Well if it re-appears, I will take this one down but for now... HOLY CRAP! My band made its debut at Debonair Music Hall (Teaneck, NJ) last Saturday July 9 as part of NJ METALFEST 7! What made this extra-special was that we were the first-ever instrumental band to perform it. In the past, they would have bands with ... » Continue Reading

After many years, I ended my endorsement deal with Spectraflex cables. I have nothing but great things to say about them, and the owner Dave totally understood that I felt it was time to move on. He is a class act and am glad to have been associated with his brand for quite some time. But say hello to my new endorsement with Ampturco cables! I had been writing back and forth with the o » Continue Reading

Oh dear...how quickly I forget! I mentioned rehearsal with my band a couple of weeks back, and then forgot to do a follow-up?! I am too young to be old!! Anyway, yes my trio had rehearsal last Sunday and it was definitely amazing! Felt good to crank the Orange amp nice and loud, and pound out six songs in a row. Unlike the March 4 gig, my band (and the others) will have only 30 minutes to shine, s... » Continue Reading

Last weekend, I got to drop off some gear at Bandmother Recording in Jersey City, NJ. Why, you ask? No I am not recording yet (but more on that later)... REHEARSALS! Yes, it's been since February that I was in the same room with drummer Mike Sabatini and bassist Brian Smith (both in the band Attacker). We played our first gig together back on March 4 in Clifton. Now we will be playing on July 9 at... » Continue Reading
