In my #motivationalspeaking I talk a lot about choosing courage over fear. Usually I relate it to medical decisions— having the courage to do what’s in my best interest even when it’s scary. 🫣

I was fearful moving to #Nashville too. It pushed me out of my comfort zone. I’ve been here for a month now, and it feels great! 🙌🏻

Use this as your sign to take that #leapoffaith and try something that makes you a little bit scared. It’s worth it and so are you. 😎

I will always remember my grandpa Dankelson for his gentleness, his amazing sense of humor and most importantly the love he had for his family. It’s been such a blessing to grow up knowing him and it’s been difficult to wrap my head around him no longer being with us, even though he lived a full and incredible life. I love you so much grandpa and I’m really going to miss you.

Life is a beautiful, sometimes tragic, and often crazy adventure. You’ve got to rock it with a positive outlook and a healthy sense of humor.

Throwing it way back to 5-year old me in Washington D.C. advocating on behalf of medically-complex kids to 16-year old me after my jaw surgery. I had to re-learn how to talk and chew and couldn’t feel my lips for weeks. We called it “rock & drool.” Playing guitar (and keeping a sense of humor) was key to staying positive during that recovery. ❤️‍🩹

I still can’t believe I’m playing this beautiful @soulfireguitarworks signature guitar and moving to Nashville.🤯

Wishing you a wonderful, rockin week. ❤️

Breaking in this prototype of my new signature guitar built by @soulfireguitarworks and loving how it feels and sounds.

I chose a unique combination of @seymourduncanpickups… ‘59 humbucker in the bridge and a Seymourized mini Firebird humbucker in the neck. 🔥🔥

Link to order a build is in my bio or you can search for SoulFire GuitarWorks on Shopify. Every guitar is custom built and handcrafted in the USA 🇺🇸

It’s a pretty great thing when you bring something new into the world. A new American company , making a new breed of Electric guitars that are familiar, yet original — Inspired, but also inspiring . And this year, we bring a new model into the line up. A rebel. The all new JD. And, like all of our guitars, speaks to those who embrace being original. No compromising. No explanations. Just your own, individual, unapologetic personality, style, and soul!

Introducing the JD series. Double cutaway . Slim tapered neck. Handcrafted in the U.S.A., with balls to the wall tone and face-melting fire .

This particular guitar, in “Jett” black with custom Red tortoise shell pickguard, is a collaboration with the awe inspiring guitarist, writer, and motivational speaker, @peterdankelson of @petes.diary for a Signature model! Pete, much like SOULFIRE, marries riff driven, classic-rock style, with the new soul and fire of today.

Pete selected a unique blend of pickups, with a @seymourduncanpickups ‘59 MODEL
Classic Passive Humbucker at the bridge -delivering that vintage P.A.F. tone, and a SEYMOURIZED
MINI HUMBUCKER at the neck, bringing a classic tonal character with some unexpected heat. As with all of our hand-crafted builds, customization is key, and every model can be fitted with any of the best Seymour Duncan has to offer, in most any color imaginable.

Pete is now field testing our first ever JD in, where else? — “music city” itself, Nashville! Putting it through its paces and rippin’ it up with some musical miles!

A new legend is born. So stay tuned and prepare yourself for what’s to come!

#nammshow Day 1 was fun and busy 😎

The show is LOUD, so I checked in with my friends @sensaphonics to make sure my hearing is protected. My custom ear plug is comfortable and works great. 👍🏻

Spent time checking out several of my favorite brands and some new ones… @magnatoneusa@rnrrelics @eminence_speaker @solodallas @spectraflex @seymourduncanpickups @lute.fish

I’ll be jamming @blackstaramps booth Friday afternoon at 4:00. Come watch @douglasaldrichguitar give me some lessons!
