I had an absolute BLAST doing this BOARD/WALK with my good friend Randy O’Dell down in Portland. We went through his board, and also had some really good back and forth on the psychology of getting a good tone. Randy currently plays guitar with country artist Jessie Leigh (www.jessieleighofficial.com).
