Guitar Stories: When Mick Taylor (the Rolling Stones) came to my studio

  An amazing thing happened when Mick Taylor, the ex Rolling Stones guitar player came to my studio as he was waiting to play in the club upstairs. It was very rare to see Don, the club owner, run around like a maniac, in fact this is the only time I ever saw him get really nervous. Mick was standing defiantly and aggressively in one spot and not moving as Don personally ran a couple of blocks away to get him a quart of votka. Turns out that the quart was part of Mick's contract and he wasn't going onstage. In fact, he wasn't moving at all and he looked really pissed. 
   Don comes rushing in and hands him the bottle and I personally eye witnessed Mick grab that bottle and guzzle down more than a third, and I mean straight down that hatch. I remembered half the bottle gone when he finally put it down so I am going conservative with more than a third guzzled. Without blinking an eye Mick calmly walked up the stairs and played a perfect excellent set without one missed nuance. Now that is a real man, a real guitar playing tough guy. And he can really play......

Tip of the day - "Don't autotune your brain"

   Almost everyone has fun singing in the shower, playing air guitar, or singing along with the voice on a record so that you blend your voice to avoid noticing that you are out of tune. Even a bona fide Maestro has an auto-tune function running inside their brain tha makes them feel that their music sounds better. The object is to have even more fun than singing in the shower, by enjoying singing in a way that pleases everyone else as well.

  Traditionally this singularity between what you hear in your head and what is actually being heard in the room is fixed with many years of training with a truly qualified musical director. Fortunately now there are ways in the digital domain to turn off your internal autotune adjuster, and achieve a very high standard of musical cognizance in your mind, and more importantly in real life.

   The most effective way to start that I know is to use apps with pitch feedback such as https://trainer.thetamusic.com/en/content/vocal-match for a couple of minutes several times per day.
