So, these days, after going to NAMM, if I wanted to get that big guitar sound, so I would like bypass everything and go straight to BIAB 2022 and search for some eighth note Dublin styles, make that huge, you know panned right and left, and do it in my room while my wife was yelling at me to cut the grass, then maybe find some old school trick licks from like BIAB 2015, heavy, for the sub woofer, and maybe add some Waves Abbey Road chambers on the drums, and EQ those snares with some in the box parallel compression, and man when we were done, we were done, it was like one take...

and that was it, and Daniel Lanois was like all, Damn you! that was MY sound, and BIAB stole it, and someone said, hey can you tell me if this song is great...

and they would drop the needle on Stairway to Heaven, I would say, yeah, let me tell you, it IS great, but you need me to tell you, and let me tell you why, because Jimmy Page is using the Pentatonic minor, and let me explain to you what that it is, it is FIVE notes, but he is playing it up on the neck and that is why it it great...

then people were asking me, hey have YOU written a great song, and I would say I thought were were talking about the mixolydian mode and how did we get on to that...

..and then they say, no man have YOU ever written a great song, where is it???

And I said, man the thing about the Cars is they used a lot of compression...

and then somebody said, man I need to go back to my BIAB, this is getting old,

I have songs to write and then someone yelled...

But he's Rick Beato! Only HE can tell you you what makes a song great...

and then I showed them the left hand finger I use to finger the G string when I am doing a Pentatonic scale, but only that one, the rest were down....
