If I posted a thread on X about X, did I go Meta?
“November Rain” first guitar solo: These solos are like string bending masterclass. I’m trying to get the nuances of the solos and the sound as much as possible. It’s not perfect, but it’s close enough.
👨🎤 Music Trivia: this is the inner sleeve for a vinyl record. Anybody knows which record this is?
So, will I be able to ask the new ChatGPT voice mode to speak with a spam/scam call on my phone and stall them as long as possible? Asking for a friend.

🎵 Did you know I write a newsletter related to my musical journey? I just posted some “behind the scenes” for an upcoming songs that’s been (too) long in the making. music.gorban.org/posts/spa…

I went to a mastering studio yesterday, for finalizing my next song release. This was a fun and educational experience. 🎵
Apple stock is down 2%. Coming back up “later this year”.
