The Riff Raff started as an idea I had a few years ago just to sit and chat with my friends whom I consider to be inspirational to me in some way- whether it be as a musician, artist or whatever the case may be. Over the years, as a working musician, I’ve been lucky to work with many amazing people and musicians and would like to share some of their stories with you. I’m a professional musician. I like stories. I mean... I REALLY like stories. Oh, and I love jokes too. Luckily, I work with some of the best in the business, and they happen to have great stories (and usually great jokes as well). Anyway, i want to put these stories down for people to enjoy - it’s fun. Some people like to garden, or take photos, or collect magnets for the fridge… but me? I like to get these stories down for all to enjoy! So this is a podcast about the creative process and, yes, being a guitar player, we do occasionally talk shop, gear, etc., but I’m not going to limit it to that as I get this thing going. Oh yeah, we jam a bit too!

    "Winning the Mental Game of Music" with Dr. Richard Bandler- Riff Raff w/Shane Theriot

    What if I told you the secret to unlocking your guitar potential isn't just practice, but actively *rewiring* your brain? Imagine transforming your learning speed, hitting those complex solos, and truly mastering the fretboard faster than ever before. In this video I am joined by the legendary founder of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Dr. Richard Bandler. Dr. Bandler's concepts have helped me over the years deal with everything from practice, retention and stage anxiety. I know they will help you too!

    Dan Gilbert (Top Instructor at M.I., Hollywood, Educator, Monster guitarist)

    My guest today is Dan Gilbert , a monster guitarist and top instructor at Hollywood's Musicians Institute. What is special about this episode for me is that Dan was my private teacher when I attended M.I. (then known as "GIT") in the early 90's. One of the original graduates of the early days of the program at the school, Dan worked alongside legends such as Howard Roberts and Tommy Tedesco and has taught thousands of students in his 45 year career at the school. In this episode Dan shares stories of studying with Pat Martino, how visualization techniques work when learning new material, his record "Before the Sunrise" and much more!

    The Best Of Vol. 1 (Scofield, Zappa, DeMartini, George Porter Jr.)

    Here's a "best of" of some of my favorite moments from the early season of Riff Raff. Listen to Dweezil Zappa talk about how Eddie Van Halen coached his jr. High school talent show band, John Scofield telling me about how he approaches playing "outside" the chord changes, George Porter Jr. of the Meters in what he looks for in a groove and Ratt's Warren DeMartini driving me around Hollywood, shows me where the early days of Ratt all went down and talks about life before the big time when he and Jake E. Lee were roommates. All in 20 min? Wow. RIFF RAFF T SHIRTS Click HERE Le Combo!
