Happy Birthday to David Gilmour.
Like so many musicians of my generation, the music of Pink Floyd touched my life in a profound way and helped shape the way I hear and feel music. Every album felt like an event. From the haunting beauty of The Dark Side of the Moon to the emotional sweep of Wish You Were Here and the sheer ambition of The Wall, these records were more than songs, they were journeys.
David’s guitar playing has always been a masterclass in taste and emotion. A single note from him can say more than a hundred from someone else. The tone, the phrasing, the space between the notes, it all serves the music in a way that reminds us what great guitar playing is really about.
His solo work has carried that same spirit forward. Albums like On an Island and Rattle That Lock showed that unmistakable sense of atmosphere, melody, and emotional depth that defines his playing. And his latest record, Luck and Strange, feels like a true masterpiece, reflective, beautifully produced, and full of the kind of expressive guitar work that only he can deliver.
For many of us growing up, those records were part of the soundtrack of our lives. They inspired us to pick up instruments, experiment in the studio, and chase sounds that move people emotionally.
So thank you, David, for the music, the inspiration, and the countless moments where a single guitar note seemed to say exactly what words never could.
Happy Birthday, and here’s to many more years of beautiful music.

Happy Birthday to my friend Jared James Nichols!
I’ve had the pleasure of writing and recording with Jared over the years, and watching him grow into one of the most exciting blues-rock guitarists out there has been incredible.

Which one works best in a mix?

If you don’t know where to start a mix…
this will change everything.
Most people reach for plugins first.
The best mixers don’t.
Here’s the real starting point youtube.com/watch?v=qjg8Yf…
Dense metal mixes sounding huge… however cloudy and fatiguing?
Try this:
• Pull down high-end on the SIDES
• Add dynamic presence back in the MID
Result: clearer, punchier, more focused.
It’s not about adding more…
it’s about moving energy.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of my favourite bands ever.
