The Day I Hitchhiked To The Rolling Stones Altamont Concert In 1969 👍

Nov 02, 2025

The other day I was telling my business partner, Jason, about something that happened when I was 18.
It was 1969, and The Rolling Stones had just announced a free concert in Northern California. When they revealed the location, Altamont Speedway, I grabbed my stuff, stuck out my thumb, and hitchhiked my way there.

I got there a few hours early and managed to snag a spot near the front of the stage, right where everything later went off the rails.

As the day wore on, things started getting ugly. The Hells Angels, who’d been brought in as “security,” were beating people up, swinging pool cues, and chaos started to ripple through the crowd. One guy (Meredith Hunter) was even stabbed to death just a few yards from where I was sitting.

It was shocking, the moment the peace-and-love dream of the ’60s cracked wide open.
I told Jason the story and a few minutes later he says... “Dude… I think I found a clip of you at Altamont.”

Sure enough, there I was. Eighteen years old, sitting in the m...

Master Chordal Melodies With This Simple Guitar Trick!

Feb 08, 2025

As guitarists, we often get stuck in the scale mindset, running up and down patterns without truly connecting to the music. Today, I want to share an approach that has transformed my playing and can help you create more musical phrases: thinking in chord tones.

Nashville's Secret Weapon I've been particularly inspired by Nashville guitarist Jedd Hughes, who masterfully weaves double stops into both his solos and accompaniment work with artists like Vince Gill. His playing exemplifies how chord-based thinking can elevate your musicality.

Let's break this down using the key of A as our playground. Instead of immediately reaching for the A major scale, try exploring the different A chord shapes up and down the neck. These shapes become your launching pads for melodic ideas.

Double Stops: Your New Best Friend When playing single notes, you might throw in that sharp five for color. But the magic really happens when you start working with double stops – playing two notes simultaneously...

Hard Lessons from my Songwriting Contract in Nashville

Feb 07, 2025

About a decade ago, I landed a record deal and a songwriting contract – a dream come true for that sensitive teenager who just wanted to make songs. Little did I know, I was about to embark on a rollercoaster ride through the music industry that would challenge my identity as an artist and reshape my understanding of what it means to be a musician.

When we released my first single to radio, the label put me through media training. They taught me to keep conversations focused on my record and to tie my songs into whatever the radio stations were promoting. For instance, my single "Freedom Like This" would be brought up around the Fourth of July, even though it wasn't remotely patriotic. It was all about keeping things exciting and on-brand.

At first, I struggled with this. Was I selling out? Was I betraying that teenage dreamer who just wanted to express himself through music? I was trying to find the meaning of life in a song, but the industry wanted me to be "hot" and marke

Imagine Lyrics

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too

Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Tennessee Whiskey Electric Guitar Lesson by Chris Stapleton

Mar 27, 2022

Chris Stapleton Tennessee Whiskey Lyrics:

Used to spend my nights out in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I've known
But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom
And brought me back from being too far gone

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time

I've looked for love in all the same old places
Found the bottom of a bottle's always dry
But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it
'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey

John Denver Country Roads Guitar Lesson Easy Version

Feb 26, 2022

Take Me Home, Country Roads Lyrics

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) co...

English Beat Save It For Later Lyrics

Two dozen other dirty lovers
Must be a sucker for it
Cry, cry but I don't need my mother
Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it

Sooner or later your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later, don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later you'll hit the deck, you'll get found out
Save it for later, don't run away and let me down, you let me down

Black air and seven seas, all rotten through
But what can you do?
I don't know how I'm meant to act with all of you lot
Sometimes I don't try
I just, "Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na"
(One, two, three, four)

Two dozen other stupid reasons
Why we should suffer for this?
Don't bothe...
