The promised Part II that I'm sure the whole world was waiting for. #onedirectionlove #storyofmylife #martinguitars

[brianspeer]

Yes, I'm going there. There's no guilty pleasures in life. Just pleasures. Part 1. Throw in some headphones for this one. #storyofmylife #onedirection #onedirectionlove #martinpride

The trip that finally did these shoes in. Shoes that I bought my junior year of high school and made last longer than I should have. One of the best weekends of my life. @drewmeredith

Looped version of #SameLove by #Macklemore & #RyanLewis as a late celebration of same sex marriage now being legal in all 50 states. Late to the party but proud nonetheless. #samesexmarriage #samesexlove

Having a ton of fun with this new #Boss #RC-30 loop pedal I recently acquired via monetary transaction. With this thing, I can spend all night in my room...well...playing with myself. This one is called Heart of Life and it never seems to get old. If you want to hear some average singing and have an extra two minutes and fifteen seconds, check out the full deal The Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oxkyxr4fYw #johnmayer #heartoflife #inrepair

Looping a new song I just started writing. Super catchy right? It sounds like something I've heard but nothing is coming to mind. Same chord progression as Cornershop's 1997 smash hit single "Brimful of Asha"...why? Because it works. I-V-IV is the PHS...the Progression of Hit Songs. Sing anything over it and it will fit. I promise. A beautiful concerto in the making. Let me know what you guys think. Need feedback.

This is Harley. We met about a 45 min ago when I was driving down Mormon Trek and spotted him trying to play dodgeball with the cars in 4 lanes of traffic. I pulled my van onto the sidewalk, called him over, and right over he came. I checked out his name tag and he had both an address and a number, so I knew he belonged to somewhat who was missing him. I threw him in the van and, 2 dog treats and 59 kisses later, was able to get him back to his owner. It's the little things in life.

Sapwoods MiniTour Part 2, Stop 1. I thought about buying a new guitar, but the selection was just too small. #ChicagoMusicExchange #NorthLincolnAve #TheSapwoods

Chicago. Skateboarding trip. Priceless memories. @drewmeredith @justinpeter93

By virtue of rediscovering a lost passion, I made a life-changing decision about 2 1/2 years ago by picking back up the guitar that I was so insistent on selling just months prior. Ephemeral stint? I think not.

Sometimes even the small things can change someone's day...if you're having a rough day/week/year/life, this one's for you!

Some blues playing from a few months ago. This summer was full of great improvement, both as a musician and hopefully as a person.

Day 5 #thesapwoods @thesapwoods (at Eronel)

[brianspeer]

I was doing some thinking about social media and what it really does for us, and I came to a conclusion. As useful as it is to communicate, market, pass time, etc., there's an underlying phenomenon taking place that can be difficult to acknowledge. I came to the realization that social media might not be all that great for self esteem. After all, everyone just posts about the coolest, most recent aspects of their lives and I think what it can really do at times is make one feel as though others are living "better" than they are. Specifically with Instagram, seeing others' pictures can often make it seem like others live more interesting lives than you. Just remember that 73.2% of the reason most people post is a result of their boredom. I'm not entirely sure on that figure above but my heart tells me it's somewhat accurate. Anyhow, just remember...you're not that boring and your life isn't any less important than those who are drawing in 100 likes per #starbucks picture they post. Think about it.
