<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Guitarist Adrian Galysh has enlisted Alice Cooper stickman Glen Sobel to lend his talents to <i>Venusian Sunrise: 20th Anniversary Edition.</i> Sobel brings both world-class drumming and a wealth of experience to the project, including touring and recording with such legendary artists as: Paul Gilbert, Jennifer Batten, Tony MacAlpine, Beautiful Creatures, and, of course, Alice Cooper. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Galysh has been described as “A virtuoso of modern electric and acoustic guitar techniques” by 20th Century Guitar magazine. He’s been dazzling audiences for over 20 years, whether backed by his own band, or as sideman for ex-Scorpions guitar-god Uli Jon Roth. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Prior to being recruited by legendary shock-rocker Alice Cooper, Sobel performed regularly with Galysh, making him an easy and evident choice for the project. <br />
<br />
“Glen is the perfect drummer for instrumental guitar music,” declares Galysh. “His curriculum vitae of recordings with Gary Hoey, Jennifer Batten, Tony MacAlpine, Impellitteri, and Paul Gilbert, make his playing instinctively ideal to the genre.” Galysh continues, “Glen is already familiar with the material, having played much of it live with me years ago. Of course, he also has the chops to take this record to the next level.” <br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut release, <i>Venusian Sunrise</i> (1998), Galysh will be re-recording the entire work, recalling that, <i>“Venusian Sunrise </i>was recorded in my parent’s basement on a single Alesis 8-Track ADAT recorder. While the performances are commendable for their time, given limited resources at the age of 22—it lacks what 20 years of experience and advancement in recording technology can now easily provide—richer guitar tones, advanced recording techniques, the palatial keyboard and realistic orchestral sounds of today, and maybe most importantly…<i>real drums</i>!” </span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Galysh adds, “The new version of Venusian Sunrise will be performed and recorded the way I wished I could have done it back then, but with the tools and know-how that didn’t exist in the day.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Production limitations notwithstanding, <i>Venusian Sunrise</i> was one of Galysh’s best-selling albums, released during the halcyon years of compact disc sales and the burgeoning days of independent record labels. As an independent release it garnered coverage in guitar magazines and a growing number of online review websites, firmly establishing Galysh as an up-and-coming player in guitar circles of the time. <br />
<br />
<i>Venusian Sunrise: 20th Anniversary Edition</i> will be released this summer and available at all online retailers. <br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="">1. “Let Your Hammer Ring” (Galysh) </span><span class=""><span class="">- This was originally supposed to be a vocal song, based on the chain gang work-song chant you hear sampled </span></span><span class="">throughout the song, but it didn't make sense to have Kacee sing it as the original lyrics were from a male perspective - and I couldn't do it justice. Instead of scrapping the tune altogether, I decided to make it an instrumental. After it was finished and mixed, I decided to make it the album opener as it sets the tone for the album really well.</span></span><br />

<br />
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="">2. “Barstool Monarchy” (Galysh/Clanton) </span><span class=""><span class="">- This upbeat song started with the opening riff, which is revisited throughout the song. Very much inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Deep Purple. This song features a great '69/'70 Fender Stratocaster I </span></span><span class="">acquired at auction. The guitar was all original, sounded GREAT, and delivered <i class="">the</i> perfect Hendrix-era Strat tone for this tune!</span></span></div>

<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="">3. “Unloveable Me” (Galysh/Clanton) </span><span class=""><span class="">- Inspired by the tone of that '69/'70 Stratocaster, I started writing this ballad with the descending rhythm guitar part that opens the song. The chord </span></span><span class="">progression wrote itself in a day, and I was off and running, overdubbing more guitars, bass, organ, piano and strings, aiming to achieve a classic blues ballad sound. All of the solos are the original takes from the demo, and just came out so well, I refused to retake them. The whole song was there, solos and all. Then Kacee came up with lyrics and a hell of a melody. This song has my favorite guitar solo on the album.</span></span></div>

<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="">4. “Messin’ With The Kid” (Mel London) </span><span class=""><span class="">- This is a very fun tune to play live, and a song I know I wanted to record as soon as I decided to make a blues album. This song goes over really well in concert and has a fun audience participation section that I included on this recording. I wanted to bring a modern approach to this classic song that I first heard the Blues Brothers do, and came up with a Robben Ford-esque arrangement, and invited guitarist Carl Verheyen lay down a guest guitar solo. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br class="" /></span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="">5. “Nobody Knows You (When You’re Down and Out)” (Jimmy Cox) </span><span class=""><span class="">- This is a song I first heard from another guitar teacher, while teaching at the National Guitar Workshop about 9 years ago. I loved hearing it then, and sought out the the version he </span></span><span class="">referenced from Derek and The Dominoes. While I like that version, I found the performance could have been more dynamic. So, I set out to make my version THE definitive version. I think it turned out very well, with a very powerful and dynamic performance, especially Kacee's vocals. She's such a great singer, and did may be two takes and that was it, perfect.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br class="" /></span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="">6. “The War” (Galysh/Clanton)</span><span class=""><span class=""> - The main riff and chord progression was inspired by the Peter Green/John Mayall song "Another Kind Of Love", but totally sped up. I dug the sound I ended up with, but at that tempo it seemed to lose the blues shuffle feel. Thankfully vocalist Kacee Clanton wrote some great lyrics to this that really took it to a mother level. This song successfully brings together</span></span><span class=""> all my favorite 70s </span><span class="">influences including Ritchie Blackmore, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Uli Jon Roth and Robin Trower.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br class="" /></span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="">7. “Who Am I To Say” (Galysh/Clanton) </span><span class=""><span class="">- I had the idea for the acoustic rhythm guitar parts for a long time, but I've never had the right opportunity to use this them until now! I borrowed the tuning from Jimmy Page, and naturally the song takes on a Led Zeppelin-like quality. The tuning is from low to high: D - A - D - A - A - F#. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="">
<span class=""><span class="" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br class="" /></span></span></div>
<div class="">
<span class=""><span class="" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the middle of the song, you hear some bluesy slide guitar solos, but I'm a horrible slide guitar player. I own a slide. Two in fact, but completely suck at using them! After some failed attempts at playing proper slide guitar for the solo sections, I ended up recording "faux" slide, using the Floyd Rose whammy bar on one of my Brian Moore guitars. So far, no one can tell!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br class="" /></span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="">8. “Further On Up The Road” (Veasley/Robey) </span><span class=""><span class="">- A classic blues song that I've been including in my live set for years. I changed up the usually rhythm guitar parts, wanting to get a more driving feel from the whole rhythm section. This song features myself on vocals, and special guest guitarist Johnny Hiland from Nashville. Johnny sent me six takes, five of which were pretty rockin' with tons of gain, but in the end I knew I wanted his signature chicken picking sound and went for that. He knocks it out of the park - a real fun track, for sure. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br class="" /></span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="">9. “Why Am I Singing The Blues” (Galysh/Clanton)</span><span class=""><span class=""> - This is one of the first songs written for INTO THE BLUE. A bluesy ballad, that started with me exploring a Jimi Hendrix style approach to rhythm guitar, similar to songs like "Little Wing", "Wind Cries Mary", and "Hey Joe", with that gospel style sound. That was the basis for the song, and the first part recorded. Just about everything was in place on the demos before the lyrics were written and recorded: Lead guitars, rhythm guitars, B3 organ, piano, strings, bass and drums. I had a rough draft of lyrics and the idea of the title, "Why Am I Singing the Blues", which Kacee refined and rewrote to give a clear story line to the song. My original idea of the vocal melody did't sit well with her vocal range, and at first we thought Id' have to rerecord the whole song in a different key, but after spending some time with it, she came up with a much better melody that did't require a key change - thank god! This is my favorite song on the album, and I think it successfully combines my guitar style and song writing style with a very organic, bluesy sound.</span></span></span><br />

LOS ANGELES (April 18, 2016) – Renowned guitarist Adrian Galysh will release his fifth solo album Into The Blue on May 25, 2016, featuring nine blues-rock tracks with guitar and vocals that take the West Coast guitarist into an entirely new musical direction. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Produced and recorded by Galysh in Los Angeles, Into The Blue draws heavily on the guitarist’s ‘70s-era influences. Galysh shares vocal duties with powerhouse vocalist Kacee Clanton, known for her soulful work with Joe Cocker, Luis Miguel, Beth Hart, and Janis Joplin’s band, Big Brother and The Holding Company.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And while Into The Blue is an all-vocal blues-rock affair, fans of Galysh’s guitar-centric style will enjoy this very guitar-driven record. The album also features special guest performances by studio session ace Carl Verheyen (Supertramp), who plays on Galysh’s energetic version of the Junior Wells classic “Messin’ With The Kid,” and chicken picker Johnny Hiland, who takes a string- and mind-bending guest solo on Bobby Blue Bland’s “Further On Up The Road.” </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The album’s rhythm section is rounded out by the stellar and authentic blues talents of drummer Joey Heredia (Stevie Wonder, Tribal Tech), and bassist Paul Loranger (Eric Sardinas). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Playing blues guitar needs to be a concise statement, and requires simple, good tone,” said Galysh. “Into The Blue offers just that – blues-inspired songs that are straightforward in their arrangement, sound, and instrumentation. I didn’t want to waste a single phrase, and wanted to ensure that every solo reflects the song’s feel and intent.” </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Praised by artists like Jennifer Batten and outlets like Power Play Magazine, Galysh has a successful trajectory spanning four previous solo albums and numerous collaborations and performances with industry giants like Uli Jon Roth, Yngwie Malmsteen, Robben Ford, Mike Keneally, George Lynch, Warren DeMartini, and many more. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Into The Blue will be available on May 25, 2016 via iTunes, Amazon.com, CDBaby.com, and adriangalysh.com.

I’ve spent the last 27 years practicing my passion of creating and performing melodic rock guitar music. My friends and family who know me can tell you how independent, focused, and entrepreneurial I am. I have independently released four solo albums, an album of jam-tracks, and an instructional guitar book. <br />

<br />
<br />
While my last album, Tone Poet, was a strong effort, it is my hope that my next album will take me to new musical ground, and even broader audiences. The next album will be squarely focused on bringing a fresh perspective to blues-rock music. This blues record will be an exciting vehicle to debut my vocals in addition to my guitar playing, as well a feature a number of very special guests.
<br />
<br />
By pledging you’re not only pre-ordering the album, but you’ll also be getting a very unique all-access pass to the inner workings of the recording process including exclusive updates and behind the scenes video footage.
<br />
<br />
Partial proceeds exceeding my goal will go to ALS TDI, a charity that funds medical research and therapy for people suffering from Lou Gehrig’s Disease. I hope we can knock it out of the ball park!

The first was on the Sex and Religion tour when his band played at Graffiti's club in Pittsburgh, with Devin Townsend on vocals. The show was simply amazing, and contained everything... heavy hard rock vocal numbers, melodic instrumentals, great audience participation, percussion/drum solo, jazzy numbers, mind boggling extended solos, and an amazing, and inspired energy.<br />
<br />
A couple years later, I saw Steve play on the first G3 tour, and this was a much more concise performance, limited to 45 minutes, and his best material, but still inspired. A year or so after that, he toured behind the Fire Garden album, again playing at Graffiti in Pittsburgh. This show, again was jaw dropping, and felt so special, as if we were witnessing magic, on a particularly inspired evening. The crowd interaction, Steve's between-song banter, and the performance was just ...special.<br />
<br />
I decided to drive down to Washington DC to catch the next show that weekend. This show was at the now defunct Bayou in Georgetown. I brought a guitar student and my older brother with me... they had to witness what I saw in Pittsburgh. Much to my surprise, this show was nearly identical to the show in Pittsburgh, just two nights before. The same set of songs, the same between-song banter, the same crowd participation scenario, almost every thing about it was the same. As soon as it occurred to me that Steve and the band were playing the same thing every night (hey, I was young and I assumed they changed it up), I was a little disappointed. That show in Pittsburgh wasn't special, it was like all the other shows...<br />
<br />

<br />
This disappointment quickly faded, as I witnessed a seemingly just-as-inspired performance in Washington DC. Steve and the band were still giving 100%. Sure, it was a similar performance to the other night, but that didn't stop them from delivering. There were two differences from this show and the previous one and I relished them. First, Steve's amp crapped out in the middle of the song "Brothers", right before his solo would have started. His band played on, with Mike Keneally taking a keyboard solo while the crew scrambled to replace the amp - which they did just in time for Steve to deliver THE solo! Secondly, towards the end Steve decided to smash his guitar to bits, and throw it into the audience, and then proceed to crowd surf in a very packed Bayou club. OK, now that was cool. (If Steve reads this, maybe he can interject a little about what he was feeling that night that prompted this.)<br />
<br />
My take away from this was an important music lesson for me. When you are performing the same set of songs over and over, or if you are performing a song that you may feel is easy or boring, you can't let it be easy or boring. Your mind should be on multiple things:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Song Arc: </b>Be mindful of the overall dynamic arc of the song, from intro, to verse, pre chorus, chorus, etc... How are you going to <i>shape</i> the song?<br />
<b>2. Part Arc: </b>Each part of the song (Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge) has it's own dynamics, timing, and feel. How are you <i>shaping</i> each part of the song? Is it similar or in contrast to the other parts?<br />
<b>3. Line Arc: </b>Each part of a song is made up of musical lines. Are you paying attention to the phrasing of these melodies and/or chord progressions? There may be a question and answer quality to these lines, are you performing them effectively? How are you <i>shaping</i> these lines?<br />
<b>4. Note Arc:</b> Each melodic line or chord is made up of individual notes. How are you <i>shaping</i> these notes? Are they staccato, legato, loud, quiet? Does the timing occur ahead of the beat, or behind it? What is the envelope of each note and chord?<br />
<br />
With all of this to think about, you can guarantee that the performance won't be "phoned in". You should be on your toes through every part of the performance. While much about performing is having the material down so well that it becomes second nature, you should always be mindful of how you shape each part of the song (on the macro and micro level). This will guarantee that you are "in tune" with the song, and can go a long way to delivering inspired performances no matter how many times you've played the set of songs.<br />

He was asking for some advice, stating,<i>"Adrian, … I am a freshman guitar performance major at Duquesne. You are an inspiration to me because you are doing exactly what I hope to do one day and I was hoping you could tell me a little about how you got there. Thanks man.”</i></span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglZsn3llp-oNM28H_XVEkguz4ydmE2tW-e5aki4REKr_tTsyNlYp5pLiHw2lKfM-0f3w1AYauYRhbFHqstjThI_mkEXcZfTTVLQk4tNGt6o0O_s6flqtxlhgLXk4axw9gmHdeKp6mO7OY/s1600/IMG_1969.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglZsn3llp-oNM28H_XVEkguz4ydmE2tW-e5aki4REKr_tTsyNlYp5pLiHw2lKfM-0f3w1AYauYRhbFHqstjThI_mkEXcZfTTVLQk4tNGt6o0O_s6flqtxlhgLXk4axw9gmHdeKp6mO7OY/s1600/IMG_1969.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
It’s funny, because I think people’s perception of “success” changes over time, and quite frankly, for some, it never feels like it has been obtained, no matter how much they have accomplished in their chosen field.<br /> </span></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
So considering this, my response was, <i>“Hello, thank you for your message, I'm flattered. My story is a long one, but I think if you are looking for some career advice, I have some. I'll base it on what has worked for me, mistakes I've seen others make, and even stuff I wish I had done.”</i></span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
You can see my advice below. After I read it, I wished someone told me some of this stuff when I was his age.</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In no particular order:</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. You are at Duquesne, a great music school. I had a lot of fun there and excelled. I can't think of a music class there that wasn't important to my development as a musician... but while music is not a competition, the music business is. Look around to see how much people are practicing, and practice <i>more. </i></span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">2. I'll assume you are in choir, which is great. I wish I continued to pursue singing more. If you aren't now, make sure you are working on your vocals. I love instrumental music, playing it and composing it, but the amount of gigs I could have gotten had my vocals been more together </span>could<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> have made a big difference. I am now singing more, and it's paying off. Every band audition I have gone to asks about singing.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">3. My general advice to musicians is: Perform as often as possible, with as many people as possible, for as many people as possible. This is important. You will be making contacts that will turn into opportunities much faster the more gigs you play. A band leader, audience member, manager, agent, club owner, fellow musician, etc... will eventually refer you to another, bigger, better gig. The experience of performing, and entertaining is important and something you can really only learn on the job. In addition, you will be expanding your </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">repertoire</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> and musical vocabulary along the way.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4. When you look for a job, try to only do music related jobs... like teaching. I regret taking some office jobs for a few years, it kept me from getting where i am today that much sooner. Your 20s are a perfect time for living on hotdogs and paper plates, so pay your dues then, not in your mid 30s and 40s.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">5. Take a performing job at the local theme park, or during the summer on a cruise ship. I didn't, but the guys who did ended up with serious reading chops that will come in handy for session work. Don't be embarrassed about playing goofy "Mickey Mouse" type music there, because your friends will be flipping burgers or working at the GAP... but, you'll be honing your chops, expanding your vocabulary, and meeting other musicians, playing 3-7 </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">sets</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> a day.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">6. Buy these books and read them thoroughly: "Guerrilla Music Marketing Handbook" by Bob Baker (this book will give you the fundamentals of marketing, and sales, and help you get some success under your belt). "Everything You Need To Know About The Music Business" by Donald Passman (this book will aid you when the </span>industry <span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> start to recognize your success, and keep you from getting screwed). "The Music Lesson" by Victor Wooten (everything you kinda knew about music, but couldn't put into the right words).</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7. Learn Jazz, Blues, Classical, Rock, Metal, Country, and finger style acoustic playing. Have a firm grasp of these and you can teach more students, perform more gigs, and record more sessions.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8. As soon as you have enough money saved, move to LA, NYC, or Nashville. In this day and age of internet, a lot is possible, but if you want the referrals and opportunities for the BIG gigs, they happen there. I don't know of anyone from my home town of Fairfax, VA who has gotten that huge tour/gig ... that didn't move to a music mecca first.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">9. You can only rely on yourself. This business is rough, it isn't easy. Be focused, keep your eye on the ball. Those with a weaker stomach will quit, thinning "the herd", but you'll be gigging, networking, and getting your reputable name out there. Get a website and start putting together a press kit about yourself. You might not have much to put in there now, but its a start. When networking, it's not about what others can do for you, its really about what you can do for them. However, one day you may want to cash in on all those favors.</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">10. Be on time, know the material, <i>perform</i>, and know that there is huge value in that. Anyone can play great guitar (just check youtube!), but apparently not everyone can show up to a gig on time and know the material. Be polite, professional, and keep negative opinions of other artists to yourself. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">11. As a professional </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">musician</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> you will have to wear many hats to make ends meet: Teacher, Band Leader, Sideman, Session Guitarist, Songwriter, Producer, Engineer, Composer, Author, Clinician, Solo Artist... <i><u>get started now.</u></i></span></span><br />

The band moves like a tight unit through "Brick By Brick" as Galysh combines orchestration with his hard rocking solo. The tempo slows down quickly for the power ballad "When You Fall," which showcases Boals' vocals perfectly."</i> - JP's Music Blog</span></span><br />

We met during the first G3 tour in ’96, we both moved to LA at the same time, and we have been playing together for over 13 years. Philip played on my 2002 release King Friday.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /> He’s my first call, go-to bassist with a great feel and groove that pushes the music forward. So it was a no-brainer to include him on my new album, Tone Poet. I must say, tracks that he plays on really benefited from his superb bass playing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />Philip Bynoe brings to the record both world-class bass playing and experience from years of touring and recording for artists such as Steve Vai, Kevin Eubanks, Slash, and Ring of Fire. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /> I recently caught up with Philip, who is on the road with Steve Vai. We discussed his musical influences, working with Steve again, the new album, and more.</span><br />

<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>You've played with some amazing artists from Steve Vai, Tony McAlpine, to Kevin Eubanks. But who are your musical influences? Do you have a favorite bass player or one that impressed you growing up?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As a bassist I have to say my father and older brother were my first big influences. When I was about 14 a friend introduced me to Stanley Clarke and that was a big day. I bought everything he released and learned it and from there to <span style="font-size: x-small;">Weather</span> Report and Jaco. Larry Graham was next as I was just listening to everybody.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>You're back on the road with Steve Vai, how is touring with Steve different now than when you played together in the mid-late 90s?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Steve as a band leader and friend has developed his skills in the way he motivates the members of the band, which has us working together and growing musically in ways that none of us expected. The things we focus on are relaxing, being in the moment, phrasing and being musical. All things we did before, but now we work together to support each other, it's wonderful.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>You tracked a handful of songs on my new album, Tone Poet, and you've been playing with me on and off for about 13 years... what have you noticed is different about my new material compared to say, "King Friday"?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you have matured as a writer, the choices you make in creating music have grown also. Instead of forcing ideas into songs it sounds to me as if you're allowing the music to speak through you. As with all of us you have your signature sound and you have enhanced that.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>Can you tell readers about the bass(es) and gear used to record your tracks on Tone Poet?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For this recording I used my Music Man Bongo 6 string basses, with the double humbucker pick ups. For my direct sound I went through a Digi 003 Black Box pre amp and used my SSL channel strip plug in. For live amp I used a 1200 watt tube amp with a 4/10 cab and a 421 mic on the cabinet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<b>Speaking of gear, what basses, effects, and amps are you touring with now?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My live rig and basses are, the a fore mentioned Music Man Bongo basses I have one with 2 humbuckers and the other is a single coil/humbucker set up. A 5 string Bongo fretless and a Kala ukulele bass that sounds like an upright.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>What advise would you give aspiring bass players who may want to pursue a professional career in music?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I tell the bass students at the LA Music Academy where I teach, it is a long road to be a musician. There are also many ways to be in the music business, if you start out with a plan of where you want to be and allow yourself to find your way, though it might take longer than you think, and your goals and dreams can change as you go along, if you allow that to happen you will find your way. Also don't get hung up in the game of "I wish I was doing that gig", enjoy what you are doing, do your best where you are and don't compare your life to others and you will have more fun and probably be more successful.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Tone Poet</b> was two years in the making... maybe even longer, but real recording and writing started two years ago. I'd like to take you through each song, share m<span style="font-size: small;">y thoughts on each of them, </span>and give you an idea of what inspired them, how they were written, and what challenges they may have presented. Below is a preview video, giving you samples of each of Tone Poet's 12 tracks.</i></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/fA7jGAsOQGc" width="560"></iframe></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /><b>1. "Resurrectis" </b>- Track 6 ("Luminae") was so much fun to compose and record that I immediately started another classical/choral composition that turned into "Resurrectis". Shorter than "Luminae", I decided this would be the album opener. Something unexpected for some listeners, I'm sure. The last few measures are lush and beautiful and come to an epic crescendo, which sets us up for...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>2. "Brick By Brick"</b> - Another track written early on in the project. The riffs, and the arrangement of the demo were intended to be for a vocal song. Believe it or not, as I was writing and recording the rhythm parts for this song, I kept thinking... "what would Reb Beach do?". I like Reb's rhythm playing, and this is my version of some of his heavier style of playing from albums like Pull and IV. The lyrics were my idea, but Mark Boals wrote the majority of them. He'd send me lyrics, I'd send back some re-writes and revisions, then he'd do his final tracking at his home studio, and send me the vocal tracks to dump into my rhythm section tracks. Drums were recorded last, by Charlie Waymire at his studio, Ultimate Rhythm Studios. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>3. "When You Fall" </b>- Having a bit of writer's block a couple years ago, I tried to make things interesting by using an open tuning. The open tuning for "When You Fall" is inspired by Devin Townsend, who plays guitars tuned from low to high: C G C G C E. That is what my guitar is tuned to here. Boy, did this work. The song wrote itself in a day or two. Intro, verse, chorus... done. This started out as an instrumental, and somewhere I have "Morning Rain" with lead guitar over the whole track. However, this was a great opportunity to have a vocal ballad, and I asked Mark to include the idea of rain in the lyrics, as the rain and thunder effects were already a part of the arrangement. The unique guitar solo was 16 measures pulled from the original instrumental lead guitar take, and fit <i>really</i> well.<b> </b>The outro features six tracks of Mark's backing vocals, creating a lush background... <span style="font-size: small;">A</span>gain, drums were recorded last by Charlie Waymire.<b><br /></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>4. "Flying"</b> - This was the first song written for the album. The main guitar riff, groove, and choral ending was all written as a demo about 4 years ago. At the time I knew this was going to be a vocal track. I refused to record a guitar melody over this, simply because I knew this would be a vocal <span style="font-size: small;">song,</span> and that vocalist would be Mark Boals. Mark and I worked out the lyrics over a few short days, trading emails, and some demo vocal takes. The most complicated part of the song is the middle guitar solo section. The rhythm of the riff behind the solo is odd, and didn't feel comfortable to play over, as the rhythmic figure comes back in unexpectedly. I ended up combining two solos, that now are heard as these intertwined parts, and it happened to work out well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>5. "Movie In My Mind" </b>- This song was hard to make work. I had 2-3 good parts written, and they seemed to kinda work together, back to back. I wrote the lyrics myself - my first lyrics ever to make it to tape! After Mark tracked his parts, I took liberty to rearrange the song, putting in the piano intro, which is also found in the new middle section break. I rerecorded my rhythm guitar parts, and must have rerecorded the lead guitar parts 6 or 7 times. It wasn't until after the live drum parts were tracked (by Charlie Waymire), and that Philip Bynoe laid down his bass part that it started to really gel. I then tracked what would be the final lead guitar parts you now hear. I think "Movie In My Mind" is a unique song, with interesting production, and a catchy chorus. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>6. "Luminae"</b> - This was the first of the three classical pieces, and was exciting to write and record. Somewhat inspired by the classical work of Uli Jon Roth, this pulls inspiration from composers like Arvo Part and Vangelis. As lush and as complicated as it may sound, a great amount of it was done in just 2-3 days. Later on, before mixing, I returned to this piece to really fine tune all the strings, choir, and guitar. I have not heard of anyone else combining electric guitar with this kind of "epic" style choral composition, and I feel like it is really unique.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>7. "La Dolce Vita"</b> - Written around the same time as the classical pieces, this takes those elements of choir and strings and puts it to a beat. My thought process here was to alternate between acoustic guitar and electric guitar. The groove was to have a fusiony drum feel, that Todd Sucherman nailed. For me, the song really came together when I added the 2nd electric guitar part (right speaker) that answers the main electric guitar melody. Listen closely during the "choruses" for the very Italian sounding faux-mandolin guitar parts in the background. The most difficult performance of the recording was the middle acoustic<span style="font-size: small;"> guitar/</span>piano double-time unison part. This alternate picked one-note-per-string arpeggio part with a moving melody was near impossible to play in time, and I even retracked this part (again) <i>after</i> the song was mixed! Todd Sucherman really hit this one out of the park - one of my favorite tracks on the album.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>8. "Tone Poet" -</b> An all acoustic effort. My attempt at emulating Ukrainian "Bondura", which is a large multi-string instrument kind of like an autoharp meets a dulcimer. Tons of acoustic guitar tracks, doubling each other - both steel string and nylon (I think 4-5 guitars, some in stereo, some recorded in mono). The challenge here was to be able to perform these multi-tracked guitars in time, as the slightest deviation would make such a mess. The background heard underneath the ascending 16th note guitar part is inspired by Arvo Part's Tintinnabuli composition technique, using simple triads, with a rhythmically simple melody played counter to the three individual notes of the triad, but giving no weight to any particular note... How rock and roll, I know?! Again, Todd Sucherman's drums are outstanding here, and really show off a side of his playing that you don't get to hear when he's on the road with Styx. This song's groove felt much stronger after Philip Bynoe tracked his bass parts. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>9. "Epoch"</b> - I debated whether or not to include this composition on Tone Poet. There's no guitar! But I felt that it showed another side to me, and is a breakthrough for me in recording quality orchestral music. I thought about trying to track some guitar, but then thought "nahh...". The biggest challenge of this track was getting the various string parts to sound in time, as they tend to drag a bit with a slow attack. I really like the lead melody violin part, which delivers a very emotional performance.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>10. "Echoes of El Greco"</b> - This track started out with the simple 16th note rhythm guitar parts against the double bass drums... just messing with programming double bass drums, really. The big electric guitar part is my take on the not nearly asked enough question, "what if John Sykes were to write an instrumental?"...I wanted it to be "Crying in the Rain" - huge, and then schizophrenically switch to a Latin inspired neo-flamenco guitar solo section. This is a high energy, fun track to listen to, and according to Todd, was very taxing to record! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>11. "Ur of the Chaldees"</b> - Another track that got its start from Devin Townsend's open guitar tuning, C G C G C E. The song was written starting with the strummed guitar part, then the acoustic guitar melody. Over the coarse of the rest of the composition, it morphs into a middle eastern, world music inspired musical caravan. Layers, and layers of guitar, strings, choir, violin, percussion, and more percussion. The outro trading electric guitar solos are all the same takes from the original demo, they may not be perfect, technically, but they feel good and have the right energy. Not an easy track to mix. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>12. "Spring (The Return)"</b> - There are three parts to this song. The intro/verse, the "prechorus" harmony guitars, and the chorus featuring the arpeggiated guitar melody. But as simple as the arrangement is, boy does that chorus melody pay off. This guitar part was me experimenting with a one-note-per-string arpeggio figure with this moving melody line above. The left hand stretch and the right hand picking was a real challenge. So much so that I probably re-tracked this part a couple times, just to make sure the triplet timing was just right. The outro solo is a single take. The benefit of playing guitar more and more on a regular basis is that I find myself liking the first and second takes, and not laboring to "fix" and "punch in" any trouble spots. Listen closely to hear the background soprano vocal harmonies underneath the 2nd chorus and outro solo. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><i> </i></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Most music fans may know of <b>Todd Sucherman</b> from seeing him play drums on tour with 70s & 80s rock giants,<b> Styx</b>, for the last 17 years. The perennial arena rock favorites perform a healthy schedule of over 150 shows a year. Drummers know of Todd Sucherman from the pages and covers of<b> DRUM! </b>and <b>Modern Drummer Magazine</b>, where he's won multiple reader's poll awards, including<b> #1 Rock Drummer </b>(2009 Modern Drummer).<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>I’ve known Todd for about 10 years. We were neighbors in Los Angeles before he moved to Austin, Texas. We’ve discussed working together for a long time, but due to his busy tour schedule and the distance (I still live in LA), we weren’t able to do it till now. Todd is a really tasteful drummer, very musical, with a ton of chops - totally in league with the likes of Colaiuta, Smith, and Bozzio. His performance on my new album, Tone Poet, is outstanding, and really shows off a side of his playing that people may not have heard yet. Every time I listen to the his tracks on <b>Tone Poet</b> I hear something new, clever, and <i>musical</i> - and I <i>love</i> that. (note: <span style="font-size: small;">Tone<span style="font-size: small;"> Poet <span style="font-size: small;">is available on itunes <a href="https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Falbum%2Ftone-poet%2Fid740692065&h=DAQGw2A0NAQFdrXwr0mgbjZsbIpnHcUOaLHenrjb-1bjffQ&enc=AZMH7xQzQEF-yJZIRsWsDu_-BnD1h9YTjNH6lYeLlBf5bxIDX9vrR3VxoI3HoIzxCEtMcaXfDpZjBJcTeIQSLSD4&s=1" target="_blank">here</a><span style="font-size: small;">)</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

I've never been made a "member", I've just sort of hung around for the last 17 years, so to speak!</i></span></div>

Hello guitar players!<br />
<br />
If you are like me and many other guitarists, you love playing guitar. You love practicing guitar. However, sometimes your practice sessions may end up being a little.... boring.<br />
<br />
While I like keeping my fingers moving, on occasion I find myself, and my students, falling into a rut, practicing the same routines, scales, songs, etc., and not progressing, musically. So I recently set out to put together a series of lesson videos containing ideas that will take you out of your rut, and help you take your playing to the next level.<br />
<br />
You can always visit my Youtube channel at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/adriangalysh">http://www.youtube.com/adriangalysh</a> for all my various video lessons and performance videos, but I wanted to put all my "Rut Buster" videos in one convenient spot for you...<br />
<br />
<b>1. "Setting Goals"</b><br />

<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">LOS ANGELES, Calif. (May 14, 2013) - Rock guitarist <b>Adrian Galysh</b> has enlisted three-time Grammy nominee and Emmy Award-winning bassist, <b>Philip Bynoe</b>, to contribute bass tracks to his new album, <b><i>Tone Poet</i></b>. Philip Bynoe brings to the record both world-class bass playing and experience from years of touring and recording for artists such as Steve Vai, Kevin Eubanks, Slash, and Ring of Fire. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><br />
Bynoe and Galysh have had a long musical friendship, having played on Galysh’s 2002 release <i>King Friday</i>. According to Adrian, <i>“I’ve known Philip for over 16 years. We met during the first G3 tour in ’96, we both moved to LA at the same time, and we have been playing together for over 12 years. He’s my first call, go-to bassist with a great feel and groove that pushes the music forward. The tracks that he plays on really benefited from his superb bass playing.”</i><br />
<br />
Philip says, <i>“I've been playing and recording with Adrian for a long time and his newest endeavor, adding a vocalist to his songs, is some of his best songwriting yet. I look forward to the new direction this music will take Adrian career-wise and have high hopes for great success in the years to come.”</i></span></div>

Hello!<br />
<br />
I wanted to share with you some of the concepts and ideas that I include in my regular practice routine. These video lessons will walk you through some sequential ideas, string skipping, and even a scale that might change your life.<br />
<br />
When I am practicing scales, arpeggios, chord shapes, etc., I like to practice them in a musical context. I usually pick a key or two, and work through the scales' positions in that key, or for arpeggios and chords, I'll play through that key's chords (Major, minor, minor, Major, Major (dom), minor, diminished). To make the experience even more musical, I might practice these things over some backing tracks, allowing me to hear them in context with actual music.<br />
<br />
This first video walks you through a bit of my Pentatonic scale workout:<br />
<br />

<br />
This next video lesson, takes a similar approach, but to the diatonic (major/minor) 3-note-per-string scale positions:<br />
<br />

<br />
This last video is a bit of a Youtube hit, with over 158,000 views, and is sure to make your solos more interesting:<br />

<br />
Good luck and keep practicing!<br />

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
As most of you know, I have been working at completing my 4th CD/album, "Tone Poet". I have written 11 songs that I feel are very strong, and take my style of guitar-centric music to another level both in composition and production. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
The record business has changed drastically since my first CD, Venusian Sunrise, was produced in 1998. Record labels and artists have much smaller budgets, and with the advent of file sharing, some people consider music a free commodity. But, new technologies have emerged allowing artists to get great recordings, as well as new ways of raising capitol and marketing music. </div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Today, I have started a crowd funding project in an effort to finance the completion of TONE POET <a href="http://www.rockethub.com/projects/16951-adrian-galysh-s-tone-poet-is-possible-with-your-support?autoshare=true" target="_blank">(click here to see it)</a>. In exchange for goods like <b>MP3s, CDs, autographed items, online guitar lessons, my book, </b>and even a <b>guitar</b>, supporters can fund the completion of this album. These items can be purchased for yourself or as a gift.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
While I will be reaching out to my friends and fans via my 1000+ E-newsletter subscribers, my Facebook page, and my 14,000+ twitter followers, Youtube channel, and blog,<b> I need your help. </b></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Not only can you support this by purchasing goods, you can let all of your friends, coworkers, and your friends who are music fans, know about it. Tell them by phone, email, facebook, grocery store checkout line... any and all support is appreciated!</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br />
Your early support will help create some buzz, and momentum... which encourages my other friends and fans to contribute (some fans simply wait to see 'trust signals' before committing to support something like this).</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Anyone in the world can contribute, and unlike other crowd funding services, Rockethub.com lets me keep the funds that I raise (not all or nothing). </div>

<br />
I knew I wanted to play guitar when I was about 10 years old. In 4th and fifth grade, I started to really get into music. Under my brother's influence (he listened to metal), I soon found bands like Van Halen, Scorpions, Judas Priest, AC/DC, and Quiet Riot. While other kids were playing with Transformers, Cabbage-patch Kids, and GI Joe, I was buying records, tapes, and making cassette recordings of other albums from anyone/anywhere I could. My neighborhood shopping center had a record store, called "The Turntable", where my mom would drop me off, while she shopped for groceries. I would spend a good hour, once a week, flipping through records, and on the occasion I was able to save up 7 or 8 dollars, buy one.<br />
<br />
While the hard rock music of the 80s was exciting, and I enjoyed listening to the bands mentioned above, it wasn't until I heard the Ozzy Osbourne album, "Blizzard of Ozz", that I decided that I had to play guitar. I can still picture the black and brown memorex cassette tape that had the recording of the album, dubbed for me by a friend of the family. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the guitar solos on songs like Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley, and Revelation (Mother Earth). I think I knew then that I had to do this. If hearing <i>someone else</i> play guitar was this exciting, I had to try it for myself.<br />
<br />
I begged my folks for a guitar and for lessons... for two years. It wasn't until I was 12 that they decided that I could take guitar lessons, as long as I took real lessons... on a classical acoustic guitar. This was fine by me, because Randy Rhoads, that guitarist that inspired me via "Blizzard Of Ozz", studied classical guitar too. Randy soon became somewhat of a role model for me.<br />
<br />
I credit Randy Rhoads as the reason I started to play guitar. Like many other guitarists, I found his playing exciting, passionate, melodic, and inspiring. The more I read about him (he had already died in a plane crash just 3 years before I discovered him in 1985), the more I found his personal outlook, thirst for knowledge, and kind demeanor even more inspiring. I then began to collect all the Randy Rhoads recordings, magazines, guitar books I could get my hands on. He made me want to become a real, legitimate guitar player. A musician. I had this poster on my wall growing up:<br />

This past December 6th would have been Randy's 55th birthday. His sister's family owns the <a href="http://www.dargenziowine.com/" target="_blank">D'Argenzio Wine</a> brand, and have a tasting room in Burbank, CA. I have lived in LA for 12 years... I visited Randy's grave once about 8 years ago, and have hesitated to visit his mother's music school, Musonia, in Burbank, which is still open and doing business. While I am very curious, I have been hesitant to lurk at the school and interfere with their business. However, this past weekend, the family had a Randy Rhoads wine tasting event for his birthday, at their tasting room in town. Being a "wine guy" and Randy Rhoads fan, I had to go.<br />
<br />
My wife and I drove out early on a Friday, and arrived at about 5:30. We did a wine tasting flight, including the "Randy Rhoads Cabernet", which was good. The wine room had Ozzy's "Tribute" album on in the background... on vinyl... playing on a record player - very cool. Randy's sister, Kathy was on hand to greet visitors, and we spoke briefly about the Tribute album and the photos therein. Randy's brother in law, Ricci, gave us a tour of the facility, we talked wine for a bit, and then he showed us some Randy Rhoads memorabilia they have there. I asked about Randy's mother, Delores. He says she is 92 years old, and while she is "all there", has a harder time getting around these days.<br />
<br />
Memorabilia included a number of photos, Randy's signature polka-dot bow ties, his Gold Record award for Blizzard of Ozz, a pair of shoes, and a few building models he made for his hobby, model trains. A Gibson "Randy Rhoads" Les Paul was also on display... I want one :-)<br />

The photos (above/right) were on display at the wine tasting, and were taken by famed rock photographer <a href="http://zloz.com/" target="_blank">Neil Zlozower</a>. I got to know Neil while working at SWR Amp Co. a number of years ago, where we worked on some photo sessions for some product ads. We became quick friends, having very similar taste in music, and I really admire his work and the musical history he has witnessed. The first time I ever visited Neil's photo studio, I was looking around, and saw a bunch of photo slides on top of a light table. Taking a peak at some of the slides, I found one of the poster of Randy Rhoads that used to hang in my bedroom. There it was, the actual photo from which the poster came. I couldn't believe it. I stared at this poster every day as a kid, dreaming of playing guitar professionally, and now Neil takes my photos. Unreal. While I was looking up some of Zlozower's Randy photos online, I found this (both taken by Neil):</div>

My other "main" guitar is a green <b>Brian Moore C-55</b>. It has a <b>Seymour Duncan</b> JB in the bridge position and two Hot Rails, with a 7-way super switch as well. Beyond these two work-horses, I have my first electric guitar, a 1987 black <b>Gibson Les Paul Standard</b>, which sounds great for tracking rhythm guitar. I also use a <b>Yamaha APX 9C</b> electric acoustic guitar for recording and the occasional live performance. This guitar is used a lot on the new album, <b><i>Tone Poet</i></b>. Also in the "vault" (ok, my studio closet...) are a <b>Epiphone Jeff Baxter</b> electric acoustic, an <b>ESP Eclipse</b> Gold Top, a custom <b>Peavey "Ecoustic"</b> with scalloped fretboard, an white <b>Ibanez Jem 777</b> (signed by Steve Vai!), a <b>Gretch Electromatic</b>, an <b>Ibanez Artcore</b> hollowbody, and a <b>Brian Moore i9</b> with MIDI access. </div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I have been hard at work recording my next album, <b>Tone Poet</b>. This album features 12 captivating tracks, with styles spanning from rock, fusion, and even spanish influences, to sweeping orchestral works with choir! It features riveting and dramatic instrumentals, as well as electrifying songs with vocals. All of the tracks feature plenty of acoustic and electric guitars, as you have come to expect.<br />
<br />
You may have read, I have enlisted ex-Yngwie Malmsteen vocalist, <b>Mark Boals</b>, to contribute vocals on a number of tracks. His vocal tracks are done, and they have exceeded my expectations - really outstanding. I have also finished tracking drums with STYX stickman and Modern Drummer magazine award winner, <b>Todd Sucherman</b>. He absolutely killed it, knocking out 5 tracks on a day off from tour at his home studio in Austin, TX!</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Needless to say, the album is coming together nicely, but I have much more work to do. I need to track drums for 4 more songs, re-record a number of my guitar parts, re-track some solos, and then lay down bass guitar parts. After that is done, then there is album artwork, and the final mastering.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Galysh, described as <i>“A virtuoso of modern electric and acoustic guitar techniques”</i> by 20th Century Guitar magazine, has been dazzling California audiences for over a decade, whether he’s backed by his band or as sideman for ex-Scorpions guitar legend, Uli Jon Roth. </span></div>
<div style="font: 11.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 12.0px;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">“Tone Poet” is Galysh’s fourth solo album, but will be the first to include both instrumentals as well as a number of vocal tracks, ably sung by <b>Mark Boals</b> (Yngwie Malmsteen, Royal Hunt).</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">With “Tone Poet”, Galysh’s tasteful guitar work and compositional style are still front and center, but will now have one of the industry’s most respected drummers laying down the grooves. So respected that 2012 saw Todd Sucherman win multiple categories in DRUM! Magazine’s reader’s poll, including #1 DVD (Methods and Mechanics II), #1 Clinician, #2 Rock Drummer, #2 Book (Methods and Mechanics Transcription Book).<br />
<br />
In addition, Modern Drummer’s 2012 reader’s poll clocked him in at #2 DVD (Methods and Mechanics II), #3 Prog Drummer, ranking next to Neil Peart and Mike Mangini!</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">An exciting year for sure, and a great follow up to 2009 which saw Todd Sucherman on the cover of Modern Drummer, and winning the reader's poll for #1 Rock Drummer, #1 Educational DVD with "Methods and Mechanics" as well as #1 Clinician in DRUM! Magazine - all while touring the world with the multi-platinum Styx and performing drum clinics and recording sessions from coast to coast. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">According to Adrian, <i>“I’ve known Todd for about 10 years. We were neighbors in Los Angeles before he moved to Texas. We’ve discussed working together for a long time, but due to his busy tour schedule and the distance (I still live in LA), we weren’t able to do it till now. Todd is a really tasteful drummer, very musical, with a ton of chops - totally in league with the likes of Colaiuta, Smith, and Bozzio.” </i></span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I have been hard at work making progress on the new album called "Tone Poet". Last week saw guest vocalist, Mark Boals, laying down some fantastic tracks and great harmonies. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Times; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">So far, it looks to be 12 tracks, and features rock, metal, world music and classical influences. A lot of the tunes feature acoustic guitars - more so than on previous efforts. If I were to describe it using comparisons, I'd describe it as Eric Johnson meets Dream Theater & Deep Purple, with Peter Gabriel and Trevor Rabin producing...</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">The songs have a variety of styles, some with modern backdrop of sounds and instrumentation, and a couple even have a choir! Sonically, this will be the best sounded Adrian Galysh album to date by far. </span></span></div>

<br />
I wanted to thank all those who came and supported me at the world famous Baked Potato in Studio City last Tuesday, May 15th. It was an intimate night of music, (and potatoes!) featuring my band-mates and friends, Philip Bynoe on bass, Glen Sobel on drums, and Yuko Tamura subbing for regular member, Maureen Baker, on keys.<br />

<br />
We plowed through 12 tunes in our 70 minute set, that included tunes from my albums "Venusian Sunrise", "King Friday", and "Earth Tones"... We tweeked up the set in rehearsal, trying to add some performance elements, tying a few tunes together, added an extended intro to fan-favorite "Ventura Blvd.", and I've been trying to improve my between song-patter. It isn't easy describing or giving a story behind instrumental songs! I think the band is developing a few key memorable "moments" over the course of our set - including the jaw-dropping drum solo by Glen Sobel.<br />
<br />
Below are a couple video clips from the show, enjoy!<br />
