I haven't posted anything in quite a while, but I'm starting to figure out how to make videos at home. Here I am jamming along with one of my favorite guitar backing tracks.

For the 2nd year in a row, I traveled across the country to perform guitar solos along with backing tracks for the NYC Marathon. Over the span of 3.5 hours, I played for 50,000 runners! Was super fun to watch all of the athletes run by while giving them a brief earful of electric guitar!

This weekend I had a ton of fun playing guitar along with a wide selection of backing tracks for the 41,000+ runners in the Bloomsday Run in Spokane Washington. Bloomsday is one of the largest running events in the US and is an extremely well organized event. Maybe I'll be back next year! https://www.bloomsdayrun.org

A few customers have requested that it be easier to find the guitar backing tracks that are just blues, rather than having to sift through all of the albums to find the blues tracks. Therefore, I just created a new page on the site for this purpose. Not sure yet if it makes sense to put the bass and drum blues backing tracks there too, but at least the blues guitar tracks are super easy to find now. Enjoy!

The local news did a cool story on my experience traveling to New York to perform guitar along with my backing tracks for the NYC Marathon.

Here is a neat article in the local paper about my New York Marathon gig. I'll be playing guitar solos for 4 hours for the 50,000 runners as they run by. Jamming along with my guitar backing tracks turned me into a good enough guitar soloist to make this a possibility. If you are in Brooklyn Sunday November 4th, swing by the corner of Manhatten and Meserole (in front of P*e Wee's Convenience Store) between 10 am and 2 pm to hear some soloing!

The NYC marathon goodies arrived in the mail yesterday, and today I’m assembling the set list. It’s a bit challenging to pour through 11 hours of guitar backing tracks to find the best ones for the event, but it’s a fun challenge! I’m definitely going to start off with some of the easier ones so I can warm up a bit.
