Rex Paul Schnelle - Everyone Loves Guitar Nov 14, 2019

Show notes

Rex talks about getting into guitar at age 6, meeting Eric Johnson, Dann Huff, Phil Keaggy, Bon Jovi, Jerry Reed, Randy Bachman & Vince Gill… his personal faith and how it's influenced his life, building boundaries for better self-care, realizing the trap of "being liked," as a performer, BBQ in his backyard, granite, and more. VERY honest:

Multi-instrumentalist Rex Paul Schnelle is an incredible artist who's released 4 LPs with guests Eric Johnson, Dann Huff, and Phil Keaggy… he also has an LP he co-wrote with Phil Keaggy where they traded guitar solos. Rex has also played on over 3,000 demos, including tracks with Jon Bon Jovi, Tim McGraw, Jerry Reed, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Randy Bachman, Jack Blades (Nightranger) & others

Joshua Ray Gooch - Koshi Inaba, Beth Hart, Shania Twain - Everyone Loves Guitar Nov 11, 2019

One of the most focused and committed professionals I've met, Joshua has achieved quite a lot in a very short time. At 16, he connected with legendary producer Johnny Sandlin and became his studio "go to" guitarist (great story behind this)... playing his first professional touring gig in front of 15,000 people in Japan… his killer work ethic, the upside and downside of being tough on yourself, dealing with a long-term illness and making it work, "forcing" yourself to grow and adapt, and loads more really cool things that connect us all. Great guy with a brilliant future ahead of him:

Dudley Taft - Everyone Loves Guitar Nov 08, 2019

Show notes

Signed by 2 major labels as a band member earlier on, Dudley started his career playing in Seattle and had great success. Unfortunately, band and label problems caused things to not work out. Instead, Dudley picked himself up and started his own blues trio. 7 Solo LPs later, he's successfully toured around the world and currently has the #2 Blues Rock single, "Give Me A Song"

Great conversation about early disappointments and why they all worked out… starting his own band, the making of his most recent LP, struggles he had to deal with as a kid and how this impacted him, other low points and bouncing back, using weed for creative inspiration, becoming a pilot, having more confidence and loads more cool stuff. Really genuine guy:

Multi-instrumentalist Ross James has been a staple in the Phil Lesh / Terrapin camp since 2012. He's shared the stage with players like Warren Haynes, Phil, Bob Weir, John Scofield, Dave Schools, Stanley Jordan, John Mayer & others

Starting at the bottom, opportunities always seemed to find Ross - and he seemed to find them, as well. Playing with Warren Haynes, Nicki Bluhm, Phil Lesh, John Scofield… getting involved with youth music programs, losing his mom at a young age and what he learned from this, being present with the people you love, moving from Detroit to California, and why he's "Gotta Serve Somebody." Really sincere convo:
