James Trussart has made a name for himself by designing custom guitars for rock icons that include Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Keith Richards. But I doubt any of them offered as unique a challenge as the Hard Rock Café. In looking for a different way to introduce their new steak burgers and 20 total new menu items, the restaurant/bar/lounge commissioned Trussart to design the world's first Playable Burger-Powered Guitar using Hard Rock’s 24-Karat Gold Leaf Steak Burger. The patent-pending instrument uses the electric current supplied by the player's body, a single-board micro-controller wired into the digital guitar's circuitry, and the 24-Karat Gold Leaf in the burger. The player's body completes the circuit within the processor to produce audible tones that can be manipulated by staying in contact with the burger and playing the guitar’s strings. After playing the specially composed Golden Solo that was written for the … instrument, the musician can enjoy the half-pound burger that’s topped with the edible 24-karat gold leaf, Tillamook cheddar cheese, leaf lettuce, tomato and red onion. According to Stephen K. Judge, President of Cafe Operations at Hard Rock International, the burger gives “fans yet another way to see, taste and hear all that Hard Rock Cafe has to offer." Before you get too far into that eye roll, it’s worth noting that a portion of the proceeds from the 24-karat Gold Leaf Steak Burger will benefit Action Against Hunger to assist in the fight against world hunger. The burger comes with fries and sells for $24.99.
When I walked into Friendly River Music in Cornish, Maine (of all places!) I could hear angels singing...er, maybe it was a stack of Marshalls blowing a '50 amp fuse' as Mick sings in You Can't Always Get What You Want. I'd found guitar-lovers Nirvana, then promptly spent my savings on a Fender Strat and Princeton Reverb amp. John Barton, the shop's founder, owner, proprietor, rock historian, guitar lover/collector, Beatles freak, all 'round great guy, inspires you as he takes us on a tour. From a 1961 Gretsch Chet Atkins 6120 hollowbody to a handmade Steelcast made by James Trussart, this is not your ordinary neighborhood shop. John's story is inspiring, too. He grew this shop from a $500 investment, borne out of knowing he'd never survive a career as a teacher.I've posted photos of the guitars that John and I discuss in the episode, as well as many photos from his beautiful shop on my Facebook page (Thom Dharma Pollard) and my Instagram page @thom.dharma.pollard In Episode 11 I also discuss discernment, which one develops when they begin living their truths. When we have discernment we can be assured that our decisions are the right decisions. So, if we are endeavoring to achieve something, be it a short-term goal or lifechanging career move, we will be less fearful in moving forward. Suitably, music on the episode is from the surf sounds of The Vivisectors, found on the free music archives. Find them at vivisectors.bandcamp.com.

Legendary singer-songwriter Steve Earle joins us this week for one of the best conversations we've had in years. Over the course of this nearly hour-long chat, Earle talks to us about meeting and working alongside his hero, Guy Clark, how sobriety changed his playing and his ever-growing guitar collection (135+ instruments as of this recording). Earle also discusses overcoming his fear of Telecasters, his love for the guitars of James Trussart, his favorite amps, gambling tips and more. Earle's Guy Clark tribute album, Guy, is out now. We can't recommend it enough. This week's podcast is sponsored by Mono Cases. Check out all their case and pedalboard offerings at monocreators.com.
