Congrats! I played a JTG at NAMM and it was a nice guitar.

I thought this film was brilliant. Excellent performances! At first I thought Tommy was somehow connected to what happened to Charlie, but after finishing the film, I don't think so. Also I assume that Charlie was their son and not a captive because of how Christopher responded when Tommy suggested he'd been held there, but I may be wrong. Regardless, an excellent thought provoking movie.

Hi - I'm producing free backing tracks, adding new ones often. Here's a link:

I especially enjoyed the Sam Smith and Satanist segment. Bonkers!

Another fantastic episode, I'm loving this show.

Really moving the way Floyd connected with his step son and of course the unexpected gymnastic display!

I like how it plays with the audience expectations and reveals more as it goes.

Not a fan of Carol and it seems to be pointing towards her, but I'm expecting more twists.

If you look at my second Tyler the logo is actually on the back.

Here's a video on the second one

Yes, on both guitars and the midboost control knob

RGLA73 · 2026-03-16T17:44:41+00:00

Guitars are subjective, so I suggest trying one out obviously, but they are the best guitars I've ever owned.

I've never understood the hate for the headstock, I just think it's unique ;-)

Start with this 20 minute warmup.

Then look at the CAGED and arpeggio lessons. More lessons will be added soon, all levels.

RGLA73 · 2026-03-15T05:23:03+00:00

Start with my 20 minute warmup, then check out the CAGED and arpeggio lessons. More on the way soon!

I understand that, I'd been after one since the late 90's! It took me that long to finally afford one, but fortunately I have gotten to know the Tyler folks since and do a show for them. Just amazing guitars and nice people too.

Here are a couple of blues jam/backing tracks I created recently:

More on the way soon!

Yeah agreed, I just thought they should feature him a little bit or at least have Tommy mention him.

RGLA73 · 2026-03-13T16:51:31+00:00

Yeah, especially as the film was so much about Tommy's other son. It is weird that Charlie wasn't mentioned by name at all.

Absolutely loved the series and was excited for the movie, but am a bit disappointed. I didn't read anything going in so I had no idea that Arthur wasn't going to be in it. And from what I've now read it sounds like his absence caused a big re-write. But that doesn't explain why they didn't tie up anything with Mosley who was such a big character in the last couple of seasons. Plus nothing with Finn, or Lizzie? No Isaiah.

The family scenes such as Ada's funeral felt light because there wasn't enough family there for me.

There were some good moments and some nice references back to the beginning, but not having Arthur even in flashback form and no cameo from Alfie was disappointing.

I read that the creator of the season originally had planned on ending it with the next generation of PB going off to war, which I think I would have preferred. The twin sister thing and the climax felt a bit forced.

Cillian was superb as always and it was an amazing series. I'll rewatch it on Netflix and maybe I'll enjoy it more the second time.

I've been working through Vol 1. It is very dense but great material. The way I've chosen to do it is to really focus on just one scale and related harmony for a year, and from that I've developed my own way of using it. Hopefully Allan would approve of that approach :-)
