Inside the 70s LA Session Scene: Motown, Wrecking Crew & First-Call Players
#jaygraydon #guitar #musicproduction #recording #musicmastery #jaketherake #allthingsmusic #education In this video, I talk about working alongside legends like Tommy Tedesco - including telling him how his (as he said) "dumb rock and roll" riffs basically defined surf music for young guitarists like me! I also dive into how I became a first-call session player working 20 dates a week, my early pedalboard setup, and how I adapted to monitor latency and headphone acoustics to save my ears. It was non-stop work, but looking back, I was one of the luckiest guys on the planet!
