re: Guitar Question

Posted by jphil12 on 12/4/23 at 8:32 pm
If you are close to Baton Rouge schedule a setup with TheFretShack, or as he calls it, a “spa day.” A good setup will do wonders. You won’t find a nicer or more knowledgeable tech than FretShack in the BR area. I’ve had two guitars setup by Fret and they made my cowboy/powerchord strumming so much m...
Morgan Wade is incredible. Sadler Vaden produced her debut album and upcoming second album. Speaking of Sarah Shook, her indie band Mightmare is pretty good. I’m hoping Sarah comes to BR sometime soon with either band. ...
Even Chris said shut the frick up when doing his turnoff your phones speech prior to the show. He said he had a pass since it’s on BJ’s merch. Lol...
This will be BJ’s first playing Red Dragon. I was chatting with Chris (owner of Red Dragon) one morning at Brew-ha-ha and mentioned he should book American Aquarium/BJ. He told me to email him some song links to check out. His email reply to me was “I’ll check em out.” That email was sent in 2016! G...
Word around the campire is BJ will be playing Red Dragon Listening room on March 28th. Announcement should be coming soon and I imagine it will sell out quickly. ...

Check out Mythos Pedals. Zach makes some great stuff! He has a Klon clone called the Mjolnir (pronounced mule-neer) and it gets great reviews. His fuzz circuits are great too. I bought his Carter Vintage exclusive Hot Chicken pedal a few years ago and it’s bad arse. Two in one pedal with boost and o...

I got on the wait list for the King of Tone on 9/14/2018. Not that I really want the pedal but just in case. I thought it would be 1-2 years. It’s now been four years and they just started filling orders for folks who got on the waitlist on or before January 22, 2018! At this rate, it will probab...
I grew up on these and they still remain my favorites. They always remind me of decorating the Christmas tree when I was growing up. Alabama - Christmas Elvis - Christmas Album [img]https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2236/3463/products/3849494-2600704-828701.jpg?v=1630768359[/img] [img]htt...

It’s ridiculous. I logged in early and still wasn’t able to get tickets. Tix already in stubhub for $300+ each. ...

I’ve been playing Cardinal Black’s new album non stop. Chris is incredible! In my opinion, one of the best guitarists of his generation. I hope Cardinal Black does a US tour soon. ...

Posted by jphil12 on 9/30/22 at 9:03 pm
I’ve always wanted a tele by a certain BR player. How about a Carondelet Chris Leblanc tribute? Maple neck, ebony fret board, swamp ash body, loaded with Carondelet Classic 2 (Chris’ tele has Tom Holmes HBs), and a single volume knob. ...
I’ve done this route via River Road at least a dozen times. I usually take 30 south to 3115 to cut down the miles. You can certainly ride the levee top the whole way. It’s mainly compact and light gravel. I’ve always done this ride in spring or fall. It’s best to start before 7am and on a weeken...

Silvertide was great! I saw them at Mules in Hammond and Clicks in BR after their album came out. Walt put out a solo acoustic album and a few other projects. Nick went on the tour with Shinedown and Perry Farrell. I highly recommend checking out Mount Holly. MH was a project he had a few y...

Fret Shack, hands down! The man is an absolute ARTIST when it comes to luthier work. Just scroll through the Facebook page to see all the detailed work he puts into each instrument. Not sure you will find anyone as knowledgable or detailed as Fret Shack in the southeast US when it comes to guitars....

re: New Isbell album has dropped

Posted by jphil12 on 5/15/20 at 11:23 pm
I listened to the album 3 times in a row earlier this morning while my wife was at a doctor appointment. My favorite so far is Overseas. As a guitarist, the guitar tone is just incredible. Later this evening my wife and I caught the tail end of Isbell’s livestream where he played Reunions in its ...
