A Quick Detour to 1989

I wasn't trying to look like the bass player from The Bangles in 1989, but sometimes things just happen that way.

I still have this guitar (although the bridge and pickups have changed once or twice.) I'll bet I could find a similar jacket. But the hair is going to take me a while. 

Rock and Roll!

This week, I have the honor and pleasure of being photographed and video recorded by Larry DiMarzio. Larry is also known for making guitar pickups that sound excellent.

For photo sessions, is doesn't matter how I sound, but rather how I look, and like anything, practice can always help. I have never counted how many rock guitar poses (and faces) I have in my vocabulary. And the challenge is always to find some new ones. The photo above was taken my another great photographer, James Chiang. James always encourages me to put the guitar in the air and make interesting geometric shapes with my arms and legs. I'm not sure what I'll conjure for Larry's session this week, but I'm looking forward to it.

Thank you,

Paul
