There is nothing like a good tracking date. Being in the room with a group of musicians and working up parts that serve the song is really exciting. That moment when the musicians come into the control room and hear the results of the last take on the big speakers is truly one of my favorite times in the studio. You get to hear your tones from guitars and strings, pickups and pedals, and tubes and amplifiers. But equally satisfying is playing a song you wrote at the kitchen table twenty years ago and seeing the whole front row of a theatre singing the words along with you. From studio to stage, it's all part of the joy of playing guitar for a living.
