I remember the first day Let It Shine was going to air on Disney – I remember what I was wearing [and] every single thing about that day. And to have Coco Jones on my album is the craziest thing ever. Anitta’s a no-brainer. [My choreographer and I] work out to her music [...
The thread that ties the tracks together is Fenton’s talent for recontextualizing unexpected samples through his truly unique take on effects processing, which makes everything sound beautifully degraded, or - in his words - a little bit “fucked up”. We caught up with Loukeman to hear mo...
Remember, the strummed chords are just a visual and hearing aid, and are not meant for accompaniment. There is a big payoff in having this strong visual cue. If you were to play the more“standard” voicings of these chords (on 4 strings) then you would lose the visual connection ...
George does proclaim, “I’m too much in love,” and therefore, announces to the ladies that his heart has been stolen away by the gorgeous Miss Boyd. Remember, George was only 22-years-old when he penned “If I Needed Someone.” He had been swarmed by women for years, and I’m ...

– where the music that was everything receded. Where I never lost the spirit of ‘Poptones’ or ‘Hit the North’ but different blessings were the ones. I stopped playing the guitar and wow, the circle turned. I have time. Is this me time? Maybe. Where’s my money at? How long...
‘Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of’and‘Elevation’. But neither of them made #1, and so we are left discussing this record. I’ll leave the final words to a quote I heard once (I wish I could remember where from): If it is a beautiful day, then I don’t need Bono...
When two guitarists arrange songs on acoustics one imagines capos at various positions on each instrument, with each player adopting different inversions of the chords. Not so in this case, apparently. “John is a proper guitar player,” Taylor states, modestly. “He very seldom uses a capo....
Townshendandthe Who. I can remember touring in the early days withthe Yardbirdsbacking us. They hadJimmy Pageand Jeff Beck, who at the time had to be two of the best guitarists. But every night it was a battle of egos, getting louder and louder. It ruined the music and was horrible...
