Podcast appearances and mentions of dave cleveland

Today, together with Nashville session guitarist Dave Cleveland, we're going to bring you a huge dose of encouragement as it pertains to the journey of a Christian guitarist.To give you a bit of background on what you're going to experience if you're willing to listen to the audio version of today's episode, I've had the privilege of teaching guitar workshops at the Christian Musician Summit here in the Pacific Northwest for fifteen years. Each time I've been invited to teach, I've brought topics related to rhythm guitar, fretboard knowledge, chords, the capo and more, all with a view to equipping Christian guitarists to develop their skills for worship leading and songwriting.My first year at the CMS was 2007, and after road-testing a lot of my teaching concepts for over a decade, I intentionally launched GuitarSuccess4U in 2019. It was there that I began to draw like-minded people into a community where music is a language, guitar is a dialect, and where we work diligently with joy to expand our vocabulary.I'm always growing as a guitarist and as a musician, and my desire to expand my vocabulary is constant. So, at this year's CMS, I was intrigued by a workshop offered by Nashville guitar session player Dave Cleveland. It was all about capos and alternate tunings, both of which I leverage on a pretty regular basis. What followed was unexpected: Dave actually invited me to help him teach the class.With eager onlookers, we delved into multiple capo positions and tunings, leveraged the CAGED System, and called out Nashville Numbers so we could work in tandem.I like to bring a plan, but in this case, there was very little structure, which actually allowed us to explore musical frontiers I didn't even know were possible.Well, I told my tribe of guitarists about this experience and I invited Dave to be on a Zoom call with us to debrief that class, and he accepted.  Dave is a gentleman and a scholar, the first-call session guitar player in Nashville, having played on countless commercials, in movies, and on major albums with people like Steven Curtis Chapman, Miley Cyrus, Twila Paris, Lauren Daigle and more.  Over his 32-year career, Dave has recorded over 30,000 songs.He graciously granted me permission to share some segments from the Zoom call we hosted recently inside the membership.  Typically, I keep these kinds of treats for members only, but I felt like it would be a great way to give you, our listeners here at Guitar Serious Fun, a window into what goes on when we gather for a Zoom call discussion with a guest expert.What you'll sense almost immediately about Dave is that he's super chill, very encouraging, extremely knowledgeable, generous with his ideas, and really, just a brother in the Lord that you're going to love spending a little time with.This was a call where I invited my Guitar Successors, as I like to call them, to type their comments and questions   into the chat, so we could cover as much ground as possible during our brief time with Dave. Here's where I link to my YouTube video that captured the visual aspect of the experience. Now that you've heard a bit of the audio from the workshop, I want to encourage you to listen to the podcast version of today's episode to enjoy a distilled audio excerpt from the Zoom call where Dave fielded a variety of questions and offered some tremendous encouragement to our community. Well, I hope you gleaned a few things from our discussion with Dave.  I smiled quite a lot as we enjoyed that short and sweet time together.As you might imagine, I seek out several experts who join us on Zoom over the course of each year, and each expert brings a different bit of wisdom. We've had Jesse Ferguson talking about in ear monitors and how to leverage them. We've had Jeff Sandberg, a world-class saxophonist, talking about improvisation. We've had Brian Reding, a multi-instrumentalist and producer, talking about the art of listening. We've had Jerry Roberts, a slow-handed Eric Clapton-esque electric guitarist talking about weaving electric and acoustic together for worship and designing an app-driven pedal board. We've had Jeremy Calvin, a wunderkind aux percussionist talking about creativity for solid rhythm grooves with percussion and guitar. We've had Adam Bollen, a super intuitive bass player talking about arranging, rehearsing, and pedal effects. We've had Ron Mallory, a highly published arranger and keyboard player, talking about relevant music theory and transposition. We've had Dr. Gordon Myco, a chiropractor and health coach, talking about health, posture, diet, and longevity for our musical journeys. We've had the Master Luthiers of Mike Lull's Guitar Works talking about the craft of building, repairing and caring for guitars. And we've got more coming up.  Does this pique your interest at all?  Leave a comment if it does.  And if you're rarin' to go and want to find your people, meet guest experts, and most of all, fulfill your potential as a Christian Guitarist, don't wait any longer.Head on over to GuitarSuccess4U.com to begin your journey with us and take your guitar playing to the next level.  I would be honored to serve you, and our tribe would be honored to welcome you in.Thanks for experiencing today's episode, and I'll see you next time.Thanks for reading Guitar Serious Fun!

Garth joins John to discuss his growing up in Cleveland Tennessee, how the music in The Church of God and Lee University influenced both of them, and how their journey's took very similar paths that ultimately led to Nashville.

A honeypot is basically a computer made to look like a sweet, yummy bit of morsel that a hacker might find yummy mcyummersons. This is the story of one of the earliest on the Internet. Clifford Stoll has been a lot of things. He was a teacher and a ham operator and appears on shows. And an engineer at a radio station. And he was an astronomer. But he's probably best known for being an accidental systems administrator at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who setup a honeypot in 1986 and used that to catch a KGB hacker. It sounds like it could be a movie. And it was - on public television. Called “The KGB, the Computer, and Me.” And a book. Clifford Stoll was an astronomer who stayed on as a systems administrator when a grant he was working on as an astronomer ran out. Many in IT came to the industry accidentally. Especially in the 80s and 90s. Now accountants are meticulous. The monthly accounting report at the lab had never had any discrepancies. So when the lab had a 75 cent accounting error, his manager Dave Cleveland had Stoll go digging into the system to figure out what happened. And yet what he found was far more than the missing 75 cents. This was an error of time sharing systems. And the lab leased out compute time at $300 per hour. Everyone who had accessed the system had an account number to bill time to. Well, everyone except a user named hunter. They disabled the user and then got an email that one of their computers tried to break into a computer elsewhere. This is just a couple years after the movie War Games had been released. So of course this was something fun to dig your teeth into. Stoll combed through the logs and found the account that attempted to break into the computers in Maryland was a local professor named Joe Sventek, now at the University of Oregon. One who it was doubtful made the attempt because he was out town at the time. So Stoll set his computer to beep when someone logged in so he could set a trap for the person using the professors account. Every time someone connected a teletype session, or tty, Stoll checked the machine. Until Sventek connected and with that, he went to see the networking team who confirmed the connection wasn't a local terminal but had come in through one of the 50 modems through a dial-up session. There wasn't much in the form of caller ID. So Stoll had to connect a printer to each of the modems - that gave him the ability to print every command the user ran. A system had been compromised and this user was able to sudo, or elevate their privileges. UNIX System V had been released 3 years earlier and suddenly labs around the world were all running similar operating systems on their mainframes. Someone with a working knowledge of Unix internals could figure out how to do all kinds of things. Like add a program to routine housecleaning items that elevated their privileges. They could also get into the passwd file that at the time housed all the passwords and delete those that were encrypted, thus granting access without a password. And they even went so far as to come up with dictionary brute force attacks similar to a modern rainbow table to figure out passwords so they wouldn't get locked out when the user whose password was deleted called in to reset it again. Being root allowed someone to delete the shell history and given that all the labs and universities were charging time, remove any record they'd been there from the call accounting systems. So Stoll wired a pager into the system so he could run up to the lab any time the hacker connected. Turns out the hacker was using the network to move laterally into other systems, including going from what was ARPANET at the time to military systems on Milnet. The hacker used default credentials for systems and leave accounts behind so he could get back in later. Jaeger means hunter in German and those were both accounts used. So maybe they were looking for a German. Tymenet and Pacbell got involved and once they got a warrant they were able to get the phone number of the person connecting to the system. Only problem is the warrant was just for California. Stoll scanned the packet delays and determined the hacker was coming in from overseas. The hacker had come in through Mitre Corporation. After Mitre disabled the connection the hacker slipped up and came in through International Telephone and Telegraph. Now they knew he was not in the US. In fact, he was in West Germany. At the time, Germany was still divided by the Berlin Wall and was a pretty mature spot for espionage. They confirmed the accounts were indicating they were dealing with a German. Once they had the call traced to Germany they needed to keep the hacker online for an hour to trace the actual phone number because the facilities there still used mechanical switching mechanisms to connect calls. So that's where the honeypot comes into play. Stoll's girlfriend came up with the idea to make up a bunch of fake government data and host it on the system. Boom. It worked, the hacker stayed on for over an hour and they traced the number. Along the way, this hippy-esque Cliff Stoll had worked with “the Man.” Looking through the logs, the hacker was accessing information about missile systems, military secrets, members of the CIA. There was so much on these systems. So Stoll called some of the people at the CIA. The FBI and NSA were also involved and before long, German authorities arrested the hacker. Markus Hess, whose handle was Urmel, was a German hacker who we now think broke into over 400 military computers in the 80s. It wasn't just one person though. Dirk-Otto Brezinski, or DOB, Hans Hübner, or Pengo, and Karl Koch, or Pengo were also involved. And not only had they stolen secrets, but they'd sold them to The KGB using Peter Carl as a handler. Back in 1985, Koch was part of a small group of hackers who founded the Computer-Stammtisch in Hanover. That later became the Hanover chapter of the Chaos Computer Club. Hübner and Koch confessed, which gave them espionage amnesty - important in a place with so much of that going around in the 70s and 80s. He would be found burned by gasoline to death and while it was reported a suicide, that has very much been disputed - especially given that it happened shortly before the trials. DOB and Urmel received a couple years of probation for their part in the espionage, likely less of a sentence given that the investigations took time and the Berlin Wall came down the year they were sentenced. Hübner's story and interrogation is covered in a book called Cyberpunk - which tells the same story from the side of the hackers. This includes passing into East Germany with magnetic tapes, working with handlers, sex, drugs, and hacker-esque rock and roll. I think I initially read the books a decade apart but would strongly recommend reading Part II of it either immediately before or after The Cukoo's Egg. It's interesting how a bunch of kids just having fun can become something far more. Similar stories were happening all over the world - another book called The Hacker Crackdown tells of many, many of these stories. Real cyberpunk stories told by one of the great cyberpunk authors. And it continues through to the modern era, except with much larger stakes than ever. Gorbachev may have worked to dismantle some of the more dangerous aspects of these security apparatuses, but Putin has certainly worked hard to build them up. Russian-sponsored and other state-sponsored rings of hackers continue to probe the Internet, delving into every little possible hole they can find. China hacks Google in 2009, Iran hits casinos, the US hits Iranian systems to disable centrifuges, and the list goes on. You see, these kids were stealing secrets - but after the Morris Worm brought the Internet to its knees in 1988, we started to realize how powerful the networks were becoming. But it all started with 75 cents. Because when it comes to security, there's no amount or event too small to look into.

This week I talking with my friend Dave Cleveland who is one of the top session and touring guitar players in Nashville. He’s played on over 30,000 songs throughout his career for artists like Little Big Town, Steven Curtis Chapman and Miley Cyrus. We are discussing the importance of learning parts correctly when playing for artists, ear training, being a “parts player” not an “everything player." Plus, why you have to play for the song, not for yourself.Show Notes:Sponsors: Edenbrooke Productions - We offer consulting services and are offering listeners a 1-hour introductory special. To request more info on consulting services, email Marty at contact@johnmartinkeith.com. Talking Points:*I started playing guitar when I was 12 or 13 and by 14 I knew that was all I wanted to do.*I learned to read music when I was in the school jazz band in high school.*I was diligent and self motivated in practicing because I knew that to get to the point I wanted to get to and play like the people I was listening to, it took a lot of work.*I wanted to play with orchestras and symphonies so I had to learn to read notation.*I went to Florida after high school and studied jazz guitar for about a year and learned more about theory and chord voicing, etc.*I got a call from the owner and director of the band TRUTH to be their guitar player and that was my college degree. I got that gig because a guy from a church named Joe Hogue that I met and wrote music with had become the keyboard player and he recommended me.*I was into rock music with the “more is more” attitude and walked into this situation was there was no room for that kind of playing. After the first couple of shows, I thought I was doing a great job until the drummer came to me and told me to listen to the parts again that are on the album because I was playing way too much.*That was the best thing in my life for me to learn and affected my whole career.*You have to play for the song.*When you play on an artist’s record, you have to listen to everything around you. You have to know where your spots are to add and you have to know where to not play.*Being in TRUTH for 3 years helped fine tune that idea of being a “parts player” as opposed to an “everything player.”*Always have a good attitude and treat whatever you’re working as the most important thing you’ve ever done.*Always do your best.*After TRUTH I took a break from playing professionally.*A friend of mine asked me to come check out Nashville, so we came down and hung out with him while he was tracking an album and asked me to overdub a guitar part.*That was the moment that we realized that we should move to Nashville and start playing guitar again professionally.*Within a year I got called by Twila Paris to play for her because a guy that did lights for TRUTH referred me and I got an audition for her and got the gig.*When you have to take other work that is not music related, you are being prepared for something.*When you have down time, don’t neglect your practice time because that is essential for when you show up the next time.*Never waste your down time. If you have down time, there’s a reason and you should dig in and whatever you feel you’re weak in musically you should strengthen that.*After Twila Paris, Steven Curtis Chapman called me to play for him on tour because he saw me play with Twila and liked what I did.*When your touring with high level players, the caliber of musicianship is so amazing and you have to get up to that level.*When you touring with big artists you’re expected to play the parts EXACTLY like the record, unless the artist gives you permission to take a little liberty.*If you audition for a band or artist, you should know not only your guitar part but all the other guitar parts note for note. Be so aware of all the other instrument parts so when you go into the audition, you are over prepared and try to have the exact sound or as close as you can get.*Don’t go into debt, so put money aside now so when you need certain gear for a gig you can get it.*We would rehearse 3-4 weeks before a tour started so we could have the show down so the audience isn’t getting a rehearsal on the first show.*I took what I learned from SCC and went back to Twila Paris’ band and worked it out with her management to rehearse the band for 2 weeks before we even saw Twila so when she walks in it’s like she’s playing along to her album.*There’s nothing more frustrating for an artist than sitting there while players are mumbling through there parts if they don’t have them down.*In today’s world, the band guys need to take it upon themselves to really rehearse before working with the artist because they don’t have the luxury to rehearse for 2 weeks all together before a tour.*Some artists I’ve played with are Steven Curtis Chapman, Twila Paris, TRUTH, Susan Ashton, Amy Grant, Martina McBride, Avalon, Point of Grace and Phillips, Craig and Dean.*I’ve also done studio work because my name started to get out after working with Twila.*People say you can’t be a studio player and a touring player and be successful.*The touring musician has to be the guy who re-creates the parts.*The session musician has to be the creator of the parts.*I’ve been able to do both so it’s allowed me to be successful in ways that others haven’t.*I try to get myself in the mindset each day like I’m just picking up the guitar for the first time and it’s the first song I’ve ever played on so that gets me excited.*Doing both is not as hard today because of technology. You can be on the road touring and track a part on your computer and email it where it needs to go.*You have to know how to record yourself.*You have to be skilled.*If you’re lacking in some area, get better at that.*If your ear is not well adapted to picking up lines in songs, get some ear training.*I have an online guitar teaching course: www.davecleveland.com Dave Cleveland is a first call session guitar player in Nashville, Tennessee.

Jen Haugland is an artist that is occasionally referenced on Frequency. She introduced us to Dave Cleveland last year at CMS NW 2013. This led us to Dave’s sister, J.C. Mason and an interview regarding Steadfast Trail, her equestrian ministry. This year we anticipated the chance to reconnect with Jen via a Lightning interview; however, as luck would have it, misfortune struck (more on this later), and we missed each other. Thankfully, we found some time this week to chat and come up-to-speed on Jen’s blessings and challenges. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

During our trip to Christian Musician Summit 2014, we conducted nearly 40 Lightning Interviews that included attendees, artists, and exhibitors. Most of these can be found on dedicate project page on our site. For the sake of our podcast listeners, though, we wanted to feature a few of the resulting conversations in the feed, including this great one with Dave Cleveland. Dave may not be a household name to folks outside of Nashville, but he is the “go to” session guitar player in Nashville and one of the most gifted guitarists on the planet.There is a bit of history behind this chat: last year at CMS NW, there was a wonderful little turn of events that led Joe from NW recording artist Jen Haugland to Dave Cleveland to his sister, J.C. Mason. The result was a feature interview with J.C. regarding her equestrian ministry. We promised ourselves that we’d spend a few minutes with Dave this time to learn more about what he’s up to. In his own humble way, Dave provides us with a brief rundown of his experience in the music industry before launching into the exciting projects with which he has been involved of late.
