Jake Workman: a little inspiration/depression for guitarists!

03:15 - I stayed calm… (maybe)


He had just done a Zoom with me that morning from his hotel room in KY so I’m crediting myself for getting him warmed up! :smirk:

Seriously, his playing… it’s alive!!! Highway 40 Blues doesn’t sound the same without those fills and solo :cry:

Why, thank you.

That’s all I can ever say.

Don’t you just love how he threw some triplets back at Jake? :joy: That band has so much fun on stage and are always trying to outdo each other. It never gets old.

Hi for all!

Just wanted to jump in and say that when it comes to Jake Workman’s skills, I definitely see it as a huge source of inspiration rather than anything negative like depression. But instead of letting it bring us down, let’s turn it into motivation. Remember, we’re all on our own musical journeys, and comparing ourselves might not always be fair. It’s important to be careful with the terms we use and check the meaning of mental health terms like “depression” and study the neurosis definition. It’s crucial to use them accurately and thoughtfully. So let’s stay positive and keep making music that speaks to our souls!
