So today we have a very special guest with us, Corey Cigilio, the master guitarist. You

0:12.2

probably already know it from YouTube and everywhere else. Welcome, Corey.

0:15.6

Hey, thanks, guys. Hi. Good to be with you. Good to have you. So I just saw your video that you just did with Robert Baker, where you taught.

0:25.7

Oh, yeah.

0:26.3

Probably, and I love Robert.

0:27.9

Great guitar player, great guy.

0:30.0

Have never heard him play the blues, though.

0:32.3

So that was great.

0:34.3

That was where I hope to help him level up a little bit. We were talking about it before you came on the camera, and I told Brian I can't play the blues either. He suggested I need to get divorced, develop a drinking habit, and maybe then I could really play him. Is that what's required? It's a good place to start. I actually have a song in my set where I say, I actually ask, are there

0:54.4

any divorcee's in the crowd? Because the song completely goes for them. And, you know,

0:59.8

I figure that's the best place to start. That's not just a personal hunt for you. Or you're

1:04.3

like, like, any divorcee is in the crowd. Well, I always see the song was semi-autobiographical,

1:09.2

He's a good singer, but just hasn't been a lot of bands. So I was trying to explain, like, you got to sell it. Like, you got to have lived the life. That's right. And he's a younger guy. I'm like, have you thought about getting divorced lately? Maybe losing some kids, that sort of thing. That might help you feel it. Oh, this went, Doc, real quick. At least get your truck, get your truck repode, your dog runs away. You need a good alcoholic habit. You know, that's what you really need.

1:45.3

We need you to work on your alcoholism.

1:47.3

Well, you know, there's...

1:47.9

And not in the way that you normally would.

1:49.4

Right, right.

1:49.8

Come to Nashville, you can work on that in a week,

1:52.0

and your alcoholism will be, you know,

1:54.6

in full speed, you know, mode, for sure.

1:57.2

But have you guys heard about that country record? Do you play backwards?

2:03.2

And you get your house back, you get your wife back, you get your car back, you get your dog.
