Music: Guitar Solo Series #3

Those who know me know that I am a Steely Dan fanatic. Here’s my rendition of Eliot Randall’s amazing intro guitar solo to “Reeling in the Years.”

Music: Guitar Solo Series #2

Here’s my second installment in the series of Ryan’s favorite guitar solos. “Sexy MF” by Prince, with a kick-ass funky-jazzy solo by Levi Seacer, Jr.

Music: Guitar Solo Series #1

I’d always been a ProTools user for my recording projects, but when I set up my new home studio a couple of years ago, I decided to switch to Apple’s Logic Pro X. To teach myself to use Logic Pro and also Final Cut Pro for video editing, I decided to record a series of…

(Fun inverse exponential tidbit: at launch, Excite’s index contained a whopping 1.5 million pages.) It was great to reconnect with the incredible set of folks I was fortunate to be on a…

Decappuccino Version 1, by Andrew Thomas. Decappuccino Version 2, by Mustafa Kandaz.   Last month, in the weeks before Christmas, my son Quinn coined a term for a new kind of espresso drink while I was making my morning brew – the decappuccino. We chuckled about it, and imagined what the (potentially deadly) effects might…
