When I had the idea for the “Mule Bus” in 2022 I told a couple friends about it and they, correctly, told me the same thing “This will not be an efficient way of showing...

If it’s not easy it’s probably important.  Mule Bus Tours and festivals are hard when you’re such a small shop. But I’ll take being with you fine people, guitars, and music any day over sitting behind a computer pretending...

Carousel I was stuck in a revolving door of gear . My music was in a rut. I tried different pick ups, different Rosewoods, different pics, different strings. I noticed a change in my tone, but not a change in my playing....

Not only are resonators rut busters but they make all your other guitars rut busters too. Let me explain.  If you’re stuck in a revolving door of gear that might be because you’re making small changes expecting big...

The Mule Tour continues with this flashback of the first trip. Currently at Detroit International awaiting the red eye flight to check in with the U.K Mule contingent. The first trip (pictured above) @davidandthedevil and I...

I have returned to Michigan after 18 amazing days visiting you fine people while out on the Mega Mule Bus Tour.  Nashville, New Orleans, Austin, Dallas ..... you guys were amazing and reso-fever has gotten its...

I made  a resonator for the man who made the first resonator I ever saw - John Reuter, the director of training at the Roberto Venn School of Luthiery. He’s holding that prophetic instrument from 22 years ago along with his...

The first resonator I ever saw in person was an all koa dobro made by John Reuter, Director of training at the Roberto Venn School of Luthiery.  23 years later, this all koa Mule is for him. Attending RV is one of...

“Slide set up” doesn’t “let” you play slide, only a set up where that’s all you can do.  Historically “Slide guitar” action sits outside the normal range at 4/32”. Why? The innovators of slide of guitar back in the early...

Stuck in a revolving door of gear? Go on Reverb  - buy guitar, play the same ol stuff, sell guitar repeat? I was trapped. I was searching for rut busting new gear and instead of getting inspired I spent (and lost) a lot...
