My Cheat Code For Playing Guitar

My problem of not being able to play guitar has been solved! At least it's solved in a way that makes me very happy. Hear my new song, "Emma Let's Go" and listen to the journey that I went on to be able to be my own "guitarist" by learning to play the Harpejji for this really special project! Much thanks to the folks at Marcodi for the gorgeous instrument that has really changed my musical life!! Emma Let's Go is about 3 periods of my life. The first, when Emma (who is ten years younger than me) was growing up and I got to be there to help her navigate her early years. Being 10 years apart made it difficult to be close, but we got a great start! In 2001, we lost our 17 year old brother in a car crash (when I was 24 and Emma was 14). Then, later in life, some irreconcilable differences with a parent (who we love deep down, but just can't really have in our lives for various reasons) happened and the two of us found our way to a solution that was best for all of us.
