Hey guys!
As usual, I’d like to start by saying thank you so much for taking the time to be a part of our fun little newsletter blog that we love putting together for you here. You don’t get to see her very often, but Ashley is such an enormous help with this stuff and I couldn’t do it without her!
There’s a lot going on here, so we would just like to keep you informed the best we can. I came in hot Sunday from teaching the 3rd annual “Deep Dive” guitar workshop in Cincinnati. It was another success with a great group of guys and we’re super excited about the clinics and events that are coming up. I know I’m going to learn a lot!
“Young Tom” kindly picked me up from the Nashville airport and we went straight to the Amigo Guitar Show knowing we would only catch the last hour or so. As we exchanged a few words with the mighty Vince Gill on his way out, I realized that he might have saved us a bunch of money because all these guys had probably “picked” through the good stuff on Saturday!
Spring time is in the air in Nashville and we’re all starting to come back to life! It has already been an amazing start to 2025, but the sunshine and warm weather really help to kick us into an even higher gear.
We would like to encourage you to join us for these upcoming shows, clinics and events! First and foremost, I’m always grateful to work with kind people, keeping the integrity high and making fine music. At this point, the things that I’m fortunate to be a part of are pretty dialed in–comfortable, organized, a whole lot of fun and usually exciting destinations. I’m so thrilled that this musical journey is far exceeding my wildest expectations. I am a very fortunate dude and there is no one else to thank but you for the relentless support and inspiration. It certainly means the world to me and all involved. Thank you so much and I hope to see you down the road real soon!
The adventure continues!

New York City – Bitter End Shows!
Those of you that have joined us at The Bitter End in the past know that this is our home away from home and we can’t wait to see you back there in May! These are always super fun shows and we always make a ton of new friends. There is nowhere on Earth like New York City!
Scotland – Guitar Dreams Retreat!
This retreat is simply going to be over the top. I have never seen anything quite like this in all my years and I know this is going to be the experience of a lifetime. I’m proud to be on the list of amazing instructors and super excited about this one! I hope to see you there!
New York – Masters of the Telecaster Camp!
I’m super thrilled to be on another amazing list of instructors here! I taught at this event last year and had a total blast. Located in the stunning Catskill mountains, it has beautiful event spaces and cabins and plenty of interaction with the instructors. These guys have it dialed in for sure!
“Deep Dive 3” Guitar Clinic Behind The Scenes
This is by far the longest video I’ve ever posted here. I wanted to share the vibe of the clinic I do every year in Cincinnati called the Deep Dive. My now good friend, Tim hosts 10 great guys at his studio on his awesome property in Indian Hill, OH. It’s always a great time. Here are a few behind the scenes clips from the weekend.
