What a life! Jim Cregan's had a solo career in the UK with a number one hit single, and was also Rod Stewart's lead guitarist & band leader for 18 years, co-writing 30 songs with him. Played one of the greatest guitar solos, in 1977's "I Was Only Joking." Much more than a great conversation, this was a Masterclass in guitar playing, getting along with people, and being a music director!

Jim spent over an hour reeling off one cool story after another, including how he got the gig with Rod Stewart... jamming with Frank Zappa, Howlin' Wolf, Hubert Sumlin', Ron Wood, Kenny Jones & Rod… drunk Joe Cocker late night in the recording studio… building tension in a song, and SO much more. INCREDIBLY cool & upbeat:

Brandon Mendenhall, Sebastian Paquet - Mind Over Matter - Everyone Loves Guitar Mar 12, 2019

Show notes

Star & director of the documentary Mind Over Matter, a movie about redemption, righteousness, and the power of rock 'n roll to inspire both. Also stars James "Munky" Shaffer, Jonathan Davis & Brian "Head" Welch, from Korn

The movie is the biographical documentary of Brandon's life. Brandon was born with cerebral palsy and overcomes a paralyzed left hand, a troubled family life, abusive bullies and stereotypes. But once he heard Korn's first record, all he could think about was becoming a guitar player. This movie shows you how he accomplished this dream, while conquering drugs, discrimination and other uphill battles along the way. This is a MUST listen, and as you'll see I have a deep, personal connection to this as well:
