From the get-go I was enthralled with is aesthetic. It's clean and full of contrast but doesn't distract from his music. This episode we dive into some of his best practices for consistently producing quality content on social media effectively, how to be a musician while working a day job, and balancing the business side of things while still maintaining focus on the art.

From our days touring and playing with Intervals to The Haarp Machine and now Ever Forthright, Mike stands out as one of the most gifted rock and metal vocalists in today's music scene. During our conversation, we touch on being multifaceted, our humble beginnings, the early demo recordings, and the challenges our patient parents had to endure.

I've been following him since and had the privilege of catching up. This episode we chat about the benefits of being a specialist, why wedding gigs aren't necessarily as bad as one might presume and sometimes the lessons we learn while performing with our heroes may be hard and unexpected.

We had an awesome convo about what moves us to write and play guitar/music. Why do we write? What inspires us? What do our songs mean? Does everything even need meaning? I highly suggest giving her a follow (links below) and giving this chat a listen.
Also:
Pink guitars are cool.
Being yourself.
Setting deadlines and learning to cut yourself off.
Being a perfectionist.
Who are you making music for? Others? Yourself?
Tapping into emotions and really giving your music meaning.

We're all native Long Islanders and I even went to school with one of the guys. It's really been awesome watching them grow over the years. Seeing Nick play in particular has always been inspiring.

Eddie and I met years ago in our hometown of Long Island, I believe when I was filling in on guitar for Painted in Exile (another co-owned-and-operated Eddie D project). I've always said that the day Eddie isn't in a technical death metal band is the day pigs fly. He's one of the hardest working and focused musicians I know and it was awesome catching up with him.

The Nick Llerandi PodcastNot-So-Subtle Diminished Scale Triads | EP 16In this lesson I talk about applying the diminished scale in a not-so-subtle way. See the previous week's post on the inverse of this, applying the diminished scale in a 'subtle' way.
The 'not-so-subtle' approach picks out the major and minor triads that exist in an 8 note diminished scale and really leans on them. There are many ways that this can be applied, but here I talk about applying it directly on a minor chord - not implying some external harmony or what have you, but rather using a diminished scale that already has a lot in...

There are so many bands now! Bob Dylan only plays his B-sides. Does metal make good party music? We don't think so. Listening to the same album on repeat is officially an “exercise”.
