Introducing: Licks & Tricks & New video "Poker Stars"

Over the years, I’ve been asked many times how certain riffs, solos, and tones were created -

both on stage and in the studio.

That’s exactly why I started “Licks & Tricks”.

This new series is where I break down my guitar parts, explain compositional ideas, talk about tone shaping, layering, and the recording process behind the songs. No mystery -

just honest insight into how and why things were written the way they were.

In Episode 1, I dive into the guitar work behind “Poker Stars” — from the main riff to the solo, including the gear I used (prs_germany, Kloppmann Pickups, Laney Amplification, Richter Straps).

If you're into rock guitar, songwriting, and studio detail, this is for you.

No shortcuts. No half licks.

You can find the official video to this song here and, as usual, in the video gallery.
