Our guests on "Exclusively Van Halen" tonight are Michael “Myko” Gutierrez and Robert Stoltz. They will talk about one of the rarest Van Halen guitars ever — a little-known-about Kramer Baretta built and painted in 1984 at 5150 by Ed and his then-guitar tech Rudy Leiren. This guitar was Ed's personal studio-use-only guitar that he played at 5150. And it's one of the only Kramers owned by Ed that's found its way into the wild. Michael won this guitar in a “dream-come-true contest” sponsored by Kramer Guitars and Guitar for the Practicing Musician magazine, and Ed himself gave the guitar to Michael in person at the 1985 NAMM show in Anaheim, California. Robert has worked on several Van Halen-related publications and first wrote about this rare guitar in 1997 for The Inside magazine. He recently wrote a lengthy follow-up article, one delving into more details about the guitar and the history behind it. That article will appear online soon. Tune in to hear more! #exclusivelyvanhalen #kramerguitars #eddievanhalen #vanhalen #johnnybeaneTV
My favorite episode! And ask me for the video of David performing- I have one!!
What happens when two guitar virtuosos reunite after years apart? Greg Koch welcomes his former mentor Mike Irish to Chewing the Gristle for a masterclass in musical wisdom that spans far beyond technique.Mike Irish, who taught at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point when Greg was a student, shares his refreshingly inclusive teaching philosophy that embraced students' existing musical interests instead of forcing them into traditional jazz molds. "I really had no desire to make more Joe Passes and Pat Martinos," Irish explains. "I just wanted to take the talent that was there and nudge them in directions they might be interested in." This approach proved transformative for many students, including Koch, who found validation for his genre-blending musical vision.The conversation explores the practical realities of sustaining a music career through what Howard Roberts called "industrial guitar" – the bread-and-butter gigs that keep musicians afloat. Both men share stories from their journeys, from Irish's innovative approach to building jazz programs by focusing on small combos rather than big bands, to Koch's revelation about the creative and financial benefits of mastering solo guitar performance.With warmth and humor, they discuss their musical influences, from Chet Atkins to James Brown, and reflect on how technology has transformed music education. "There's really no reason to suck at this point," Koch quips about the wealth of instructional content available online today – though both agree that motivation and thousands of practice hours remain irreplaceable.Whether you're a guitarist, music educator, or simply appreciate heartfelt conversations between passionate creators, this episode offers insights into not just how to play, but how to build a sustainable, joyful musical life. Drop in on this reunion between two masters and hear how their musical paths have woven together across decades.
Send Steve a Text MessageEver feel like your guitar practice isn't getting you anywhere? You might be missing key components in your practice routine. Guitar practice isn't just about mindlessly repeating exercises—it's about strategically balancing three distinct levels of musical development. The first level, visualization and theory, might be the most overlooked yet powerful component. Imagine improving your guitar skills without even touching your instrument! By drawing fretboard diagrams, mapping scales, or studying chord relationships during downtime, you're building a mental framework that accelerates progress when you do pick up your guitar.The second level focuses on execution—developing the physical abilities that translate your musical knowledge into sound. This encompasses everything from basic finger strength to advanced techniques like sweep picking or fingerstyle patterns. What's fascinating is how different playing styles require different technical emphasis; a blues player might focus on bending and vibrato, while a classical guitarist might prioritize right-hand independence.The third level brings everything together through creativity—transforming technical proficiency into musical expression. Whether you're improvising solos, writing songs, or simply making dynamic decisions while playing a cover, this is where your unique voice emerges. Some players naturally gravitate toward creative exploration, while others benefit from structured approaches to developing musicality.By thoughtfully balancing these three levels in your practice routine, you'll experience more consistent growth and satisfaction in your playing. If you're feeling stuck or uncertain about what to practice, the Guitar Zoom Academy offers personalized guidance to help develop a practice plan tailored to your specific needs. Search for the link online and schedule a call to see if it's right for you. Remember, effective practice isn't about quantity—it's about quality, strategy, and balance.

Talking to Prakash Gurung made me realize that not all migrant workers from Nepal are leaving the country out of necessity. When I interviewed him last year the 26-year-old told me about his failed migration attempts – as both a student and a migrant worker – but I got the sense that he had options in-country as well; he just preferred the idea of leaving. I think there are many people in similar circumstances — they could find a job here at home, but believe that abroad they might be able to save more money, live in better conditions, or have more promising future prospects, for themselves and/or their family. One year later Prakash has shelved his migration plans. In their place he has chosen an unusual path—learning classical guitar. A guitar player since his teenage years, Prakash says that playing classical requires much more discipline than playing and singing rock songs, including hours of daily practice. He's found a teacher to guide him on that journey. As you'll hear, Prakash is now talking about finding satisfaction and inner peace on his musical quest. This is a huge turnaround from the half-hearted pledges he was making when we talked in 2024, and a pleasant surprise to me. Want more of these interviews?

This week on TIme Signatures with Jim Ervin, Erv welcomes Manx Blues guitarist, straight from the Isle of Man, Davy Knowles. Davy dropped by to talk about his early years in music, largely influenced by the likes of Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton, and Robert Johnson. It was the Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing that first bit Davy, and after a few guitar lessons, he chose to take the self-taught route….and the rest is history. The ensuing trail took him from John Mayall and Eric Clapton's ‘Beano Album', to Peter Green's era with Fleetwood Mac, and ultimately landing on Rory-and he was off to the races. It was a fun chat, covering some of his early work with his band, ‘Back Door Slam', and ending on his newest recorded work, ‘The Invisible Man'. We have just one episode left in Season Four….any ideas who it might be?

This SPECIAL EPISODE introduces my new single “THE CUT OF THE KNIFE”. It's the last of the four new singles that I've released monthly beginning in March. The first was “Rough Rider”, the second was “Moon Shot”, and the third was “Day At The Races”.I wrote “The Cut Of The Knife as a kind of homage to Dave Brubeck, the revered American jazz pianist. His saxophonist, Paul Desmond, wrote a song called “Take Five”, and the Brubeck band recorded it in 1959 on their album “Time Out”. That tune has become the biggest selling jazz song of all time. It even became a big crossover hit on the radio.One of the things that made “Take Five” so cool was that it was written in an odd time signature, 5/4 time. So the song's title was a play on words about its time signature and it was also an inside musician's phrase telling the band to relax for five minutes before the next set.“The Cut Of The Knife” features an incredible Guest Artist on guitar solo - Kerry Marx, the Musical Director of the Grand Ole Opry band who has been a guest on this podcast. His credits include touring with Johnny Mathis, Olivia Newton-John and Don McLean, recordings with Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, movie albums like “Finding Nemo”, and music awards shows like Billboard, CMA and the American Music Awards.And a shout out goes to two of my longtime Project Grand Slam band mates - Baden Goyo on keys and Joel E. Mateo on drums. Both play terrific solos on the new single. And Joel's drum solo is particularly meaningful because Joe Morello, Brubeck's drummer, played a memorable drum solo on “Take Five”.“The Cut Of The Knife” has been called “Elegant”, “Beautiful” and “A Wonder”!CLICK HERE FOR ALL LINKSCLICK HERE FOR THE OFFICIAL VIDEO ---------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!Click here for All Episodes Click here for Guest List Click here for Guest Groupings Click here for Guest TestimonialsClick here to Subscribe Click here to receive our Email UpdatesClick here to Rate and Review the podcast—----------------------------------------ROBERT'S RECENT SINGLES:“DAY AT THE RACES” is Robert's single that captures the thrills, chills and pageantry of horse racing's Triple Crown.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaJoshua Moyer! Today's guest doesn't just make music—he summons it. From the concrete cracks of rebellion and the sacred chaos of altered states, Joshua Moyer is that rare breed: part street poet, part sonic alchemist, part underground prophet.He built the full soundtrack to my psychedelic science art challenge—played every instrument, wrote every lyric, and bled every note like a sermon on the run. Guitar riffs like back-alley prayers. Handpan rhythms that echo in the bones. This wasn't background music—it was ritual sound design for a new kind of revolution.Joshua ain't here to perform. He's here to ignite.He walks with the ones who speak in flame—those born from wound, not womb. He doesn't ask permission from the institutions. He builds temples in the ruins they left behind. His art? It's rebellion. It's remembrance. It's resistance wrapped in melody.If you're looking for safe, skip this one.If you're ready to rewire your senses and meet a man who turns suffering into symphony—welcome to the transmission.Here's Joshua Moyer.Absolutely—here's a fierce and poetic list of questions designed to pull brilliance into the open, bridging sound artistry with revolution and evolution. These are the kind of questions that crack open deeper truths, like vinyl under pressure—raw, rhythmic, and revelatory:https://youtube.com/@dichotomyentertainment?si=OCVk4TvvkrJyQCYihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuamoyernc?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

187 - Mason Marangella (Vertex Effects) In episode 187 of “Have Guitar Will Travel”, presented by Vintage Guitar Magazine, host James Patrick Regan speaks with guitarist and owner and founder of Vertex Effects Mason Marangella. Tom Bukovac calls him “Sweet Mason”. In their conversation Mason tells us about his studio where he has a wealth of classic amplifiers, pedals, pedalboards and a crazy guitar collection with one of just about every type of guitar you would want and Mason tells us about where he gets stuff repaired when it's beyond what he can repair himself. Mason discusses his company Vertex Effects and what he does: buffers, boosts pedalboards all used by the top session guitarists as well as performing guitarists. Mason also talks about his YouTube channel and podcast “Chairmen of the Board” where Mason and his contemporaries discuss pedals, pedalboards and their components. Mason tells us how he initially got his pedals in to the hands of the top Nashville players and how he started in the field of pedals in the first place. Mason explains what a “buffer” does and the optimum pedal signal chain. Mason talks about a project he documented on YouTube having a Gibson R9 Les Paul transformed into a 1959 Gibson Les Paul the way 1956 Goldtop Les Pauls are transformed into the 1958 features and what the results were. Finally Mason takes us through what he's looking at for the future. . To find out more about Mason and Vertex Effects you can go to his website vertexeffects.com or the Vertex YouTube channel.

When blues powerhouse Albert Castiglia crossed paths with Bill Murray, neither could have predicted the musical partnership that would follow. In this captivating conversation with Greg Koch, Castiglia pulls back the curtain on how a Hollywood legend became his unexpected bandmate through a series of serendipitous connections that began with Murray's brother John."If Bill Murray wants to play in your band, you let him in your band," Castiglia remarks with characteristic humor. But beneath the celebrity factor lies a genuine musical connection that has taken them from intimate clubs to prestigious venues like Red Rocks. Far from seeking the spotlight, Murray approaches their collaboration with refreshing humility, insisting on equal billing and content to play percussion while occasionally stepping forward for a song. The audience response has been electric, with fans sometimes appearing in Ghostbusters costumes, moved to tears by Murray's magnetic stage presence.Castiglia's own journey through the blues landscape reveals the persistence required to build a sustainable career. From his early influences (discovering blues through Clapton and Johnny Winter's productions with Muddy Waters) to navigating the catch-22 of needing both a record deal and booking agent simultaneously, he speaks candidly about industry challenges. After cycling through five agencies, finding the right representation finally allowed him to expand from 100 shows annually to between 150-200 performances a year.The conversation touches on deeper themes of artistic growth, with Castiglia recently incorporating Coltrane's "Afro Blue" into his setlists after being inspired by Derek Trucks. He also reflects on lifestyle changes that have sustained his longevity, embracing sobriety after COVID and taking up boxing and Kung Fu to maintain his energy for grueling tour schedules. "I do this for the memories," he explains, capturing the essence of why musicians endure the hardships of the road.Ready to experience a genuine conversation between two musicians who've weathered decades in the business?
