Happy Friday everyone! Let’s welcome our new members, including one of my favorite friends from YouTube @Fred Quié as well as @Mike D.

I’m working on tons of short videos on songwriting, guitar playing … loaded with tips and guidance. I’ll be posting them here as well as YouTube and IG. Things I'll talk about which you can learn from: How to break out of riff ruts Reasons why guitarists should focus on chords, melodies... Alternate tunings.. and much more... What songwriting or guitar playing tips are you looking for? (lyrics, riffs, overcoming creative blocks, etc.) ... vote in the poll below or add a comment with your specific interest. Thanks and have a great weekend. Some cool videos for you below. I like the comment on the Quiet Riot video "No AI, no backing tracks, no detuning, no lip syncing......just loud, in your face, balls to the wall rock n roll."

So I've included Homme's interview with Rick Beato. -> Pay attention here, he drops a lot of great songcraft knowledge. I was way into Anthrax during my Jr. High school days... Among the Living is still one of my favorite albums. Here's Scott Ian's interview on Billy Corgan's podcast. D
