In November 2016, Mike Keneally played a concert at our Mesa, AZ USA headquarters/home. Here's a great clip of him plowing his way through some fun Gentle Giant song intros. Enjoy!

David Singleton is a multi-talented songwriter, producer, audio engineer, record executive, tour manager, author, and more. He is best known for his work Discipline Global Mobile [DGM], the company behind King Crimson. David is also behind a semi-fictional persona in the music industry called The Vicar, producing not only a very interesting album called Songbook #1, but a whole universe around the character including graphic novels, written novels, and a video blog series.

Hyung-ki Joo is half of the formidable classical music comedy duo, Igudesman & Joo. He plays piano and Aleksey Igudesman (represented in this interview as a pile of fruit) plays the violin. They are both extremely talented, having studied (and met) at the Yehudi Menuhin school for many years.

Years ago, I laughed at this instrument. Now, I'm the proud owner of Ibanez's 9-string electric guitar, the RG9. It's completely expanded the potential of what I'm able to write and perform. What a great instrument!

I covered Robert Fripp's “Erudite Eyes” in 2011, posted it to YouTube, and forgot about it. Six years later, I stumbled upon it again and found that I really liked what I did. So, in a fit of creativity and motivation, I recorded this video to go along with the song. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Dethklok) was kind enough to grace MWM headquarters in Mesa, AZ on November 12, 2016 with a house concert. He did several songs with the incredible Andy West (Dixie Dregs, Crazy Backwards Alphabet). Here's a song from the 1995 album they released together as The Mistakes. This is a pretty rare thing to see.

In this episode of Failure to Fracture, I talk about how I was unable to succeed after interpreting and following the Guitar Craft rules a little too seriously. Once I let go, I was able to get through the death picking section of the moto perpetuo.

I also do a practice run at 128bpm at the end of the video.

Steve Vai lent us his legendary guitar, EVO, to install a Mad Hatter Guitar Products Terminator system. The results were amazing and Steve loved it! Check out the installation details in this video.

Sit down with Mike Keneally and Andy West having a conversation in my dining room. #surreal

They talk about the music industry and evolution of music since the 1970s, YouTube, recommending music to other people, Captain Beefheart, Henry Kaiser, Joe Satriani, and more.

There aren't enough Henry Cow/Fred Frith/Tim Hodgkinson transcriptions out there, so I thought I'd take a whack at the intro to one of my favorite Henry Cow pieces, "The Decay of Cities." Transcription is available at Soundslice: https://www.soundslice.com/scores/61172/
