Like any other bands, the Journey’s journey to success is rough and rocky. They went through a lot and made numerous line-ups up to this time. The Journey’s success was met with too much criticism and the road to success was never easy for them. They even have to look for a new lead vocalist one after another, for some reason or another. Lastly, the Journey’s Neal Schon saw Arnel Pineda on YouTube, a filipino singer singing covers of Journey songs with his band The Zoo. They hired Arnel Pineda resulting in the success of their next album, Revelation when it debuted at No.5 on the Billboard charts. It even sold over 196,000 units in the firs two weeks and stayed on the top 20 for six weeks. All these successes continue to happen now and Journey tickets for their concerts are always sold out. The fans never failed to always check for Journey tickets whenever they want to hear them sing their songs, then and now.

I recently watched this Wah Wah Guitar Pedal Documentary and found it to be quite fascinating. It includes some really interesting information about how the pedal was first created and about how it was first used with tons of great interviews with guitarists who really know what they are talking about.

It’s incredible to think about how quickly after the wah wah pedal was first invented (in 1966) that it began being used by guitarists like Frank Zappa, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix.

I think that goes to show that back in the ’60s these rock legends were looking for the latest technology to advance their music just as people look for the latest technology today.

I find that illuminating because often times “stick in the mud” type people who glorify classic rock but don’t have time for new music seem to look down upon modern day experimentation with new technology.

In my opinion the way to really emulate the music geniuses of the past isn’t to try to sound just like them but to try to match their imagination and their ambition for new sounds.

I was driving down the road one day, and I heard the base of this car next to me. It sounded sweet! The guy was jamming to some cool music. I thought to myself, “Man, I’ve got to have something like that.” So, I made up my mind to purchase one of those subwoofer enclosures from somewhere.

When I was surfing the net, I found this Subwoofer Sales site. I was amazed to find that this site had a whole ton of subwoofer boxes to choose from. There were vented subwoofer enclosures, sealed subwoofer enclosures, and a number of different brands.

I ended up buying one of the Alpine subwoofer Boxes. Needless to say, I am happy with it. Since my purchase, I travel with the base jumping, just like that guy beside me that day. I can have the cool music playing, and I can feel like I rule the streets.

Once I was visiting my grandmother in the convalescent home. She has been there for a few years, and is still doing pretty good. She had called me beforehand, and asked me if I’d give an acoustic guitar lesson to some of the residents. I said, sure, why not. So I brought my trusty six string, and we had a grand old time playing some old favorites. Many of those folks that live there are pretty good musicians, I can only imagine what it was like for them back in the day before old age set in. I heard some crazy stories. And even if the embellishments were only fifty percent true, those guys did some shocking things back in the day. I thought I was a crazy kid, but some of the things I heard from those old people would make your head spin. Parties in churches, drinking alcohol in public, and playing the wrong chord on purpose in church. Boy, I’ll tell you, those guys are something. I hope I have as many good memories as they do when I get their age.
