Show Notes
My guest this episode is Mr. Oz Noy. One of the most accomplished guitarists out there on the scene today, Oz has it all- amazing chops, vocabulary, technique, all delivered with touch, soul and tone. His 9 solo records capture all of this and, if that's not enough there's more; he uses the best rhythm sections in the world, surrounding himself with drummers including Dave Weckl, Keith Carlock, Anton Fig and bassists Will Lee, James Genus and Jimmy Haslip. As you'll hear in the podcast, touring all over the world with his own music isn't what he originally set out to do, but it's nice work if you can get it. He also has a nice resume of backing up artists in the studio and live such as Gavin Degraw, Richard Bona, Chris Botti,Harry Belafonte, Cyndi Lauper, Clay Aiken, Akiko Yano and more. He also has a new band that you'll hear about called Ozone Squeeze. In this interview we'll discuss his early years in Tel Aviv, moving to NYC, putting together his first record (Oz Live) and how he rehearses the bands, pedals- (he'll talk about what his favorite most useful pedal is), his instructional videos for True Fire, current state of the blues in his opinion, influences and much, much more. Plus you get my usual doses of sarcasm and bad humor. Oz Noy Website Oz's signature pedal Oz's Music on Amazon

If you've ever felt like playing guitar has lost it's magic and become a job rather than a joy, this video is for you. I'm sharing the unexpected lesson a retired student taught me, and how a $400 repair brought back the kid who just wanted to play.
What if I told you the secret to unlocking your guitar potential isn't just practice, but actively *rewiring* your brain? Imagine transforming your learning speed, hitting those complex solos, and truly mastering the fretboard faster than ever before. In this video I am joined by the legendary founder of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Dr. Richard Bandler. Dr. Bandler's concepts have helped me over the years deal with everything from practice, retention and stage anxiety. I know they will help you too!
