Big Poppa and Petrucci At Wild West 3/8

Since we live there, we would like to possibly visit the factory in the Valley. Is this possible?

They do not do tours. Sterling (EB) hosted an Open House about 6 months ago.
Do a search and you'll find tonnes of pictures, some videos, etc....
It was a once in a lifetime event that a lot of us missed.

Welcome Rjenks!

The string factory is in Coachella near you, but the Music Man factory is up in San Luis Obispo.

Fogman and SteveB: Didn't know that. Thanks for the info, we'll look for the open house pics.

BTW Sterling, just ordered CHORD CHEMISTRY by Ted Greene.


Ted is a guitar player BP talked up during the clinic as being incredibly talented (recently passed away) and had written this book that was kind of a chord bible.

Then John said yeah, I came up with this progression after going through the book...(then John goes into a really beautiful open chord passage. I think he mentioned which song it was but I wasn't familiar with it.)

That is a great book. Ted was a homie of mine back in the day. What an awesome player. I never understood why he wasn't famous.

to think he only ever released one album, he inspired so many players with that book. Vai, Johnson, Ball and Smith
