Another great run in the books with the @chriscolston_ camp. Thanks to @grangersmith and @caseydonahew for letting us warm up your stages! Here’s a quick clip of the solo to Boy Like Me. This solo was tracked with everyone’s favorite 4th position Strat, but logistical restraints force me to pull it off with a tele, but hey, that’s showbiz, baby! Regardless, its such a beautiful tasteful solo. One of my favorites to play. #tele #strat #chriscolston #guitarist #touring #stage #boylikeme #dimarzio #twangking #choppert #strymon #bigsky

🎶SHOW ME THE CHAMPION OF LIGHT 💡 Alan Wake 2 is a cerebral survival horror game… with a rock musical? With dancing? And shred guitar solos? Man, you’re just gonna have to play it. I don’t game often, but this one really made an impression on me. The creativity these developers poured into the game was beyond inspiring. I had to sit down and learn this solo from the 15 minute in-game rock musical “Herald of Darkness.” @remedygames were even nice enough to release a version without lead guitar so that I could be the lead guitarist! #remedygames #samlake #alanwake #brightfalls #guitarsolo #poetsofthefall #oldgodsofasgard #gibson #sg

I’m always trying to make sure I’m not making a drummer’s life harder than it needs to be, so occasionally I check live videos I take to see how steady my time is. Here’s a video from an acoustic gig with @jennapaulette recently at the Showplace Theater at @riverwindcasino . No click, but still somehow locked on the recorded tempo. While singing (not a singer) at that! #tempo #pocket #rhythm #guitar

Man. I haven’t been this giddy about new gear in a long time. After years of not being able to jive with the feel of my Strat, I finally have the sound! This new neck feels absolutely incredible. Thanks so much to Daniel at Guitar Sanctuary for doing the neck swap, and thanks to @shaneframe1 for facilitating all of it! I can’t wait to track something with this! #strat #stratocaster #ericjohnson

Improvising over that one Guthrie Govan backing track on easy mode. (Guthrie was on Expert+++++ mode) #guitar #guitarsolo #guitarist #improvisation #guthriegovan #larrycarlton

From last week’s gig with @jordanwhitmore … or as our unofficial alias “Gil-More.” Here’s some jazzy-ish improvising over Carole King’s “Too Late.” Together, we are the real Gil-More girls. #gilmoregirls #caroleking #jazzy #neckpickup #rory #lorelai #kurt

Having a blast working on a music video with my old friends @613media and @jeremiahandbluhaze #music #613media #texasmusic #musicvideoshoot

From @tannahillsmusichall last night with @rayjohnstonband . Always going to be this outro’s biggest fan. #morecrownthancoke
