Just an FYI for all you traveling acoustic players that as of Jan. 1st all rosewood has been added to the CITES list of restricted species. If you do not travel world wide with your guitar it means nothing. If you do you need the same Passport for your guitar that is required for Brazilian Rosewood, Elephant tusk etc. Heres a link to a Fretboard Journal podcast on the subject:

I think there is an exemption for traveling for personal use. Also, I *think* it's only for raw material, and not the finished product?

Its for finished product like guitars. All rosewood(was just Brazilian), Elephant Ivory etc. You need a "passport" for the instrument. This only affects international travel but without the passport the instrument is confiscated. As Ric said, Its time to reconsider that world tour! Most that have older/vintage instruments already have the paperwork needed but now it will cover new rosewood instruments. I can't imagine mahogany is that far behind.
Oh hey!
Didn't ride my bike at all this weekend. Blew off everything I had to do and just jammed Saturday and Sunday. Megan called me like 27 times from work while I was balls deep in this groove. She blew my phone to smithereens while it was in the other room. Therefor I call this "Straight To Voicemail"
Channeling the slap happy vibe of Stuart Zendor on this one. Although, I couldn't hold a candle to his bass playing. Growing up, the early stuff Jamiroquai was putting out in the 90's was some of my favorite.
Iv'e upgraded my recording rig from duct tape & staples to caulk & paint, but it's still pretty bush league.

Had off today. Actually I have off till Jan 3rd. When it's winter time and there isn't work to do, I'm inspired to play guitar all day. Been working on this new tune for a few weeks. It's In a dropped D tuning. I never play alternate tunings for some reason but should more often. Opens up new possibilities.
The transparent overlay images are all from today's bike ride and also a hike with Megan and Tuck immediately after the ride.
The theme here is how when I'm riding my bike, I'm thinking about song ideas and playing music. Alternately, when I'm playing music I'm drawing inspiration from my time i'm on a bike. I guess it's like a form of sustainable energy.
Also - I actually light my Gibson on fire.
"Headin' out"

Holy crap you weren't kidding about the Tetris reference
Also had an old school original Batman feel to it in the beginning
"POW"
@Sandman98 Nice fat tone! After listening to this, I guess I never realized this song was tuned down?
