From there, we jump into a wild story via Guitar Player about Ozzy Osbourne requesting a remote kill switch so he could shut off Randy Rhoads’ pedalboard from the next hotel room — because Randy’s nonstop practicing was driving him crazy 🤘😂 Next, it’s off to the workbench where I restring a Squier Stratocaster hardtail with Ernie Ball 10s, swap the pickguard to a slick mint green, and then plug in and play it for a while. To wrap things up, I dig deep into the archives and uncover a 20-year-old video of me recording guitar solos for my song “Heavy Mellow,” which I eventually released on streaming services back in 2010. Super cool blast from the past. 👉 The link to that video will be pinned in the comments. Don’t forget — join us LIVE on New Year’s Eve, 11:30 PM Eastern, right here on Johnny Beane TV.
