Ok so I haven’t been this excited over an album coming out in a very very long time.

I’ll post a link to the podcast on the podcast page, or you can watch episodes of the 12 days of ChickenFoot here.

The boys talk about all the songs on the CD and how they came about. There is a snippet of each song at the end of each bit.

By all accounts the CD goes on sale tomorrow, June 5th 2009, and for a few days you can get it cheap at Amazon MP3.

There are times I wish I had certain affiliate programs. Guitar World is one of those.

One of THE guitarist albumns of all time would have to be Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland. A bunch of well known songs that all folks should have under their fingers.

I am incredibly time poor right now, but if I had the time I would love this set of tutorials to spend some quality time with.

If I could sell it to you kind folks, I would love to do that also. But here is a little youtube vid from Guitar World showing what’s in the pack. I think from memory of my last issue of GW it’s about $30, a bargain if you ask me.

Enjoy.

OK so the band’s name may not end up being chickenfoot but there certainly could be worse names.

The new “super group” made up of Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Chad Smith and Michael Anthony certainly have all the makings of a rocking band.

I for one am really looking forward to hearing the album when it comes out in a few months.

Rock On!
