Phil McKnightHOST
I adjust the Floyd Rose with string tension o- on it.
Phil McKnightHOST
So does Tim Pierce.
Phil McKnightHOST
I only say that because that was a discussion I had with him when we were talking about some guitar stuff one time.
Phil McKnightHOST

Anthony J. RestaHOST
So she came by and we put down the vocal and the guitar and I built that track.
Anthony J. RestaHOST
track feverishly around her in a couple of days and uh it's one of the my favorite experiences the way it came together just it was one of those things you know you never know sometimes things are arduous and they take forever and other times they just kind of fall out and that was one of those situations where it just just came together and I I brought it to Tim Pierce because at that time he was doing tons and tons of guitar stuff I was doing like sort of the frilly stuff and he was doing all the you know the hardcore meat and potatoes stuff that takes me forever and And he heard the track and he said, Anthony, I think you're out of the closet as a guitar player.
Anthony J. RestaHOST
I don't think it needs anything.
Anthony J. RestaHOST
And that was kind of a big moment for me to hear Tim Pierce say that because he's such a legend and such an incredible player.
Anthony J. RestaHOST
And I was humbled by just, I just love him so much.
Anthony J. RestaHOST
And he's been a dear friend and we still do stuff together occasionally, but he's kind of so busy now with his teaching channel.

John Goo was a guy who played on all the Simpsons and Family Guy stuff.
Brian StarleyGUEST
We took gear to all those sessions and it was That was another big shock because I had seen how they do stuff at Conway and it was, you know, you had to be on your game there.
Brian StarleyGUEST
And so if he had a session at Sunset Sound, we would take all of that stuff there.
Brian StarleyGUEST
And in his case, we would just drop the racks off.
Brian StarleyGUEST
Sunset Sounds guys would probably hook it up But in like Tim Pierce's case, we would bring a box truck that had three huge trunks full of guitars.
Brian StarleyGUEST
So two of the trunks would be electric guitars.
