If you can’t spend the time to read the post and can’t wait to listen, CLICK IT! 🙂

Episode 69 is a mobile podcast. Mmmmobile! Anyway, here is the first installment of where I dive into each individual foundational guitars; Les Paul, Telecaster, Stratocaster, Semi-Hollowbody & Dreadnaught Acoustic Guitar. Variety is the spice of life!

Of course, I start with my favorite and the one that I’m most intimate with. The Les Paul. Love it!

I also get to talk about a music movie review. As folks have asked for in the past, more recommended music related movies and reviews. So I have to tell you about Disk 1 of the Beatles Anthology.

This week I want to share some research I did on the affects of tobacco smoke on guitar and guitar equipment. I also tell about two interviews I read regarding songwriting.

Listen now! You know you wanna!

The following is a list of chemicals in cigarette smoke that are solvents:

  • Acetone
  • Benzene
  • Butyraldehyde
  • Cresol
  • Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK)
  • Pyridine
  • Quinoline
  • Toluene

Bay Area Guitar Swap is a site where I was able to gather some good information about cigarette smoke’s affects on guitars. I have to give them props for information. I am not a member of their forum.

Here’s the D’Addario string review video where at 4:23 I start to play “Dead or Alive.” If you want the tab, here it is!
