I was all about using the lockdown to focus on technical skills and songwriting. Then a kitchen accident on July 4 almost cost me part of a fingertip on my fret hand. So there hasn't been much guitar in the past week. (I think the finger is going to be okay, though it still looks and feels kind of gnarly.)
BUT that means I've been able to dig in on things like lyric videos for our back catalogue of songs. If you're the sort of listener who cares whether it's "fingernails and cigarettes" or "bacon and cigarettes" that make a lousy dinner (and you probably are, or you wouldn't be reading this), then head on over to our YouTube channel to find out whether the words to "Slinky" are really as nonsensical as they seem. (They are.)
Another big music-adjacent project for the year is illustrating The ABCs of Rock, written by fellow musician Randy Diederrich. It's due out in December. We'll make some of the images available as prints and greeting cards. (Send them to the musicians in your life. They're all sad right now.) If I can't play much for a while...at least I can envision a monster metal session involving Lemmy, Vernon Reid, Doro Pesch, Tony Iommi, and Dave Lombardo.
Until next time, wear your mask, wash your hands, and stay safe.
