New Year Resolution Wins & Fails - That Pedal Show
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- We made some new year resolutions in 2020 - did we succeed with them?
Life too short for long RUclips videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
Welcome to the show! Yep, we’re still in lockdown so we can’t be in the same room. Thusly, we are chancing a thoughtful look rearwards at our resolutions for 2020. How did we fare?
the shows referenced in this video are as follows, with links in case you’d like to watch them again… or maybe for the first time.
All the gear used is listed in the video descriptions in each individual video, links below. Enjoy!
Note from me (Mick here) on all the mental health stuff from 15 minutes: I just want to be absolutely clear that I’m not arguing the case for any of these approaches, or holding them up as anything you ‘should’ do. I’m merely sharing a personal experience that may or may not be of use.
Similarly with terms and concepts; I’d really urge everyone not to get too tied up with specific words or definitions or the idea that any of this is ‘right’ or ‘correct’. It is merely a way of thinking - or more accurately, a way of NOT thinking - that has really helped me personally. With that in mind, I won’t be engaging in any discussion about the validity of anything discussed on an academic level. A RUclips comments section can’t adequately expand a whole thesis or philosophical standpoint. If you want to argue about the academics, please read the books thoroughly first and then hit some psychology and philosophy forums. No doubt they are alight with debate!

![Rick Beato At That Pedal Show! [Recording Guitar Tips, Producing & More]](/img/1.gif)
Mick I’d love to hear you talk more about mental health as an ongoing thing. There’s something about your lucid and vulnerable monologue that has really brightened my day and made me feel more hopeful about my own situation. Please do provide updates as the year goes on and perhaps we can all help eachother. All the best mate.
Simon, thank you so much. I was a bit concerned that it was all a bit self indulgent and not what people come here for. But then I decided that if it helps one person, then it’s more valuable than yet another chat about Strats. Ha! Best to you sir!
@@ThatPedalShow People rarely come anywhere to here about mental health, which probably contributes to it being a subject that's rarely discussed and often avoided despite being profoundly important to great many people. I think having these kinds of genuine insight and reflection on the matter come up in places where you don't necessarily expect them is really important and probably very helpful to many.
And I don't think a single one of your mental health monologues have ever come of as self indulgent, not even a little bit.
So by all means keep us updated when you feel like it, and I hope your mental health journey continues in the right direction!
@@ThatPedalShow Coming from someone who is going through what you did, it's the best part of the video. Thank you. I'd love to hear more.
@@ThatPedalShow men don't talk about it ENOUGH mate. We're cursed with a lot of social programming that goes against us rather. Good on ya. If it helps others here, then it's a good thing
@@ThatPedalShow That wasn't self-indulgent Mick. Guitars, amps and pedals may be important but not as important as the kind of stuff you spoke about tonight. Thanks for sharing and all the best for your journey
I would like to formally request that the intro sequence with the “That Pedal Show” pedal be remade and have its knobs set at 2 o’clock
Hahahaha!!!
👍🏼
yes!!!
Please yes
Yes please
❤️❤️❤️ love you guys
Love you more. :0) That track with Hannah man - sooooooooo cooool! X
Mick, not to undermine the other resolutions, you touched me so goddamn hard man... I'm so happy to hear you feel better. My 2020 resolution was to release my first album and gig it. Cup half full I suppose! Glad to see you guys keeping such a positive outlook at your goals and keeping at it! Cheers // Guillaume
Guillaume!! Great to hear from you man. I can’t wait to hear that record dood. It will happen! Much love to you guys! X
@@ThatPedalShow Mick you aren't in the hey look a me social media thing, it doesn't come across like that at all. You have great experience with tone, gear, playing and you are a hell of a player too. Your blog videos are stellar. I pay attention to your choices and trust your judgement. I can't always afford your choices but you give reason to why you choose what you do and I can get close. You have taken the time to answer my questions on here and truly appreciate that. You guys just keep doing what you do it's genuinely fantastic.
Mick, your openness and ability to articulate your journey working through depression is inspiring - not to mention something that resonates on a personal level. Despite indirectly costing me a TON of money (GAS is real 😅), TPS has helped me, and I'm sure countless others, get through the past year. Keep up the great work you and Dan do and continue to look after yourself. Oh, and thanks for that reading list!
Thank you Al! Thank you sir.
As someone who has struggled with anxiety, I want to thank Mick for his candor. The more we recognize and normalize mental struggles, the easier it is to overcome and connect with others and move forward to improve our lives for ourselves and others.
That was the single most lucid description of how to help yourself I've ever heard. What a communication, I hope you're proud of yourself.
I have taken so much inspiration from both of you. Dan's no compromise approach to his products, both of you being open, honest and positive on your show and Mick's up front bravery about his health have been major influences in my life over the last 18 months since I found TPS.
Just better questions is a modern mantra
I love how it goes from mick baring his soul and laying out a whole new life path through mental fortitude and learning, then into Dan trying to get better tones at the house. Incredible stuff.
That’s TPS!
@@ThatPedalShow assuming this is mick, what an incredible thing you’ve done. See the amount of people in the chat that feel the same way? You’ve no idea how much you’ve helped people. I started watching years ago just to hear old fuzz pedals through fender amps and here I am ordering books off Amazon about living in the present. Unbelievable.
I really needed to see Mick's segment today. I have and still suffer with mental health issues pretty bad, and it's always good to hear how other people get through. It's a real thing, and it can get better with work.
Totally Brian. All best to you on the journey!
Mick - as an MD and yoga/meditation instructor, I give you so much credit for publicly talking about your struggles and what's helped you find some balance. I'm co-leading a men's mindfulness series here this month in the US, and we hear these same sentiments and struggles universally. Keep talking, and keep practicing!
Thank you Lawrence and thank you for your work!
22:16 "It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters." Epictetus
Mick, you’re my hero! Takes a lot of courage to talk about this stuff, specially in public. I can only imagine the feeling afterwards, must have left like letting go of a very heavy bag. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from France.
P.S.
I loved when you quoted Frank Zappa! ! ! ✌🏻
Yeah man. I’ve been putting that bag down for some time. It’s a big bag and it keeps jumping back into my hand. Hahaha! :0) Best to you and all of wonderful France!
I found my depression was apparently kicked off by low Vit D levels, and a huge life change due to disability. Then it seems to snowball. Diet and exercise has certainly help me cope, but I also leaned on a small dose of Lexipro until I got it all worked out. So good to see folks face their emotions and work toward the positive side. Cheers Mick.
Regarding negative comments, I just want to thank you Dan and Mick for giving us hours and hours of enjoyment, learning and entertainment for free. You done it for nothing purely for the love of guitar. If someone has nothing constructive to say about something they’ve been given for FREE then really need to piss off and get a life. Thanks for everything guys!
There's so much I want to say/write about this videos, probably too much actually, so I'll just write this : THANK YOU ! To both of you 🙏🙏🙏
You definitely are the two kindest human beings and it takes courage to keep being kind in this world, especially right now.
Maybe you don't realize what you bring to the music family around the globe, but there's definitely something special to your show.
Thank you. Loud and clear. :0)
MICK ! Easily the most inspirational video I have seen in a long time. Extremely relevant towards our world today! 🏆 Would LOVE to hear more about your journey as I went through something similar. Only regret about this video I wish you would have talked longer about your triumph in fighting unhappiness and depression.
Hello Beau, thank you for this. It is far from a triumph - I’m kinda in the first round, but at least I’m in the ring now. 0) Cheers!
Massive respect to Mick for opening up about his mental health issues. Onwards and upwards mate
I haven't watched much RUclips for a while but today I opened the app again and up pops this TPS episode and instantly reminds me that there's something really different and affecting and valuable about this medium and about TPS in particular.
Please don't ever decide not to include one of these segments for fear it's too "self-indulgent" or too much of a segue. It's this willingness to convey deeply human stuff that really puts TPS in a different league.
I don't just come here for gear, I come for wisdom.
Thank you Derek!
"Just shut up and play your guitar" best advice ever, Mick!
I think it is. :0)
ZAPPA!
This is awesome cheers guys. Mick some you comments really hit home. Dan lucky for us her we haven't stop gigging. Feel for you guys over there and hope that you guys get the show back on the road. Love the show. Love both of your work ... bring on 21 !
Mick, thank you for sharing! It always helps hear you talk about these things! Sending lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
Mick, it's great to hear you talk about mental health. Being open about it is a great help to others and much appreciated. You and Dan always produce a great show and I think we are all one big happy family on here :) TG
Mick, your ability to convey your thoughts on mental health in such a concise, honest, forthright and yet totally sensitive way is really fantastic. Putting that bag down is hard to do, almost harder than recognising that you were carrying it in the first place. You are doing a lot of good for a lot of people, yourself included.
Dan, I'm loving your fizziness for the continued jazz learning, it's going to inspire a lot of players to keep trying new disciplines, or to get back on top of what they thought may be beyond them!
I love this show :)
Mick, thanks again for being so open with how you’re getting on with your mental health, some really useful words and clarity for others to take away.
Mick, glad you’re feeling better! I can relate to a few of the things you mentioned here. It’s a constant battle, but realizing you yourself hold the key, the solution for the problem is definitely what has been the turning point for me! Thanks for sharing! Love the show!!!
This is by far 1 of my favorite channels on youtube. Best guitar channel ever! I’ve learned so much from you guys also just love nerding out on guitar related stuff and this channel is so great for that.
Thank you both for your honesty, talent and passion. This last year as a small business owner (I own a small guitar and pedal building business) has been a challenge but TPS has been a constant and inspiring resource. Long may the show continue.
Mick, Your insight, humility, vulnerability and authenticity absolutely floor me with waves of warmth and invitation to look deeper inside my own mind and soul. That wouldn't be the first time after 25 years sober and plenty of 'internal work'. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You and Dan present yourselves so authentically. I feel a kinship and brotherhood. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thanks so much Gary. Congrats on the 25!
Just to pile on with everyone else, Mick, your lucid and grounded discussion of mental health is really inspiring and such a positive influence on the world. Keep it coming whenever you feel that it would benefit yourself or others. Dan, we love you too mate. You don’t even need to say anything, your positivity and love of life comes shining through loud and clear. Thank you both and Catherine and the rest of the crew!
You guys are the best. You both, along with a few other online personalities, helped me pickup the guitar again after over 20 years of sitting in the closet. When I was younger, I gave up the guitar because I kept comparing my abilities to others rather than just enjoying playing and learning. Now, I'm less focusing on gear (although you guys don't make it easy) and comparing myself to others, I'm simply enjoying the journey.
I hope you know that what you do is valued and appreciated. Keep up the great work!
Mick your comments on mental health were a highlight & inspiring. Eckhart Tolle changed my life (A New Earth was his book that awakened me). That separation of thought from self...not only changed my life...it changed my music. My writing and composition comes from a different place now...with more flow, more joy....and the writing process, that was always a struggle, that feeling of creating is worth the price of admission for me. It is one of the things in life that makes me most happy.Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing....thanks for being human.
Thank you Brandon. It’s great to hear you found something that works. Best to you sir and for the ongoing journey!
Thank you Mick for Sharing your Story on Mild depression. I have Dealt with this for Years and worried about what others think of Me. You have inspired me and I am Thankful that God allowed me to hear your Story and Thankful you shared it. God bless my Friend ❤️
Thank you for the sharing here, Mick. TPS is way more than a "pedal show". You have both gotten me through an extremely hard year. THANK YOU.
Wow Mick, I admire your humility and the intelligence with which you put across your mental health insights. Huge respect and many thanks for having the courage to talk about that stuff and be vulnerable. It has certainly resonated with me throughout the Covid thing when my own mental health has been put through the mill.
Instead of the usual pausing TPS on RUclips to update my reverb watch list, this episode had me updating my reading list. Thanks for the great content, way more meaningful than just another gear channel.
This is one of the best TPS episodes, raw honesty and insight into the plight of a guitarist/artist. Living in the moment is so easy to say, so hard to do. When I’m playing, the times I always end up making a mistake are when I think about it too much or I step outside myself. Flow is such a flighty beast. Take care & we all look forward to some more TPS gold in 2021!
Thank you for sharing this, Mick!
Wishing you all the best for 2021
Interesting and enlightening as always ... and I dare say echoing what many of us go through. An inspiration in guitar maters and much more beside, thanks gents.
Spectacular. Mick, amazing share. Much love!
Mick, thank you for speaking so openly about what you've been going through. I've struggled with similar things and it's very important (I think) to know that one is not alone, so to speak - that others have similar struggles really helps. Cheers, and best wishes from San Marcos, Texas.
Hey Kevin, you are definitely not alone man. One day talking about and managing our mental health will be just as everyday as managing our physical health. And the world will be a vastly better place for it. Very best to you man!
Thank you guys for all you! Your videos are so great.
I especially really appreciated hearing Micks ongoing journey/work towards getting better with mental health, I am very keen to look into this myself.
I just received my Harmonious Monk! What an absolute beast of a tremolo pedal!
Thank you thank you thank you. Keep rocking guys!
Fantastic show guys. Mick, your work on your mental health, and your eloquence in describing the principles of what's working for you are inspiring and a massive help. My depression has been to many extremes, and has twice nearly claimed my life, but I am more in control of it now, and that's thanks in part to the openness and honesty you have brought to the subject through the shows. Thank you!! X
Dans Jazz playing got really good! It is a joy to listen to these tasteful chord melodies. And man, that Tele neck pickup into the Imperial Tone King is a tone to aspire to. Great work!
You are not alone Mick, I suffer with depression too, and your story is remarkably the same as mine - it all started with a mental breakdown from stress (pre-covid). I have been working on it a lot and throwing myself back into music more again after some time away. It really helps. Your videos have kept me in the game. So cheers for that mate.
Thank you James. I wish you well on the journey sir!
Great stuff from both - and I’m always down for hearing about Mick’s mental health work, speaking as someone who has recently started working on RUclips content relating to mental health and creativity!
Thank you Mick for talking about this. Thank you both for the enrichment you bring to our lives.💜
Hey guys live the show. I started playing a couple years ago and the guitar has changed my life. Like you Mick I've struggled with depression and I don't know what it is but I'm happy now. That down time I had bored at night is now filled with my favorite thing to do which is play guitar. Thanks for the show it has cost me a lot of money since I started watching lol I have Gas bad. Keep doing what you guys do every week its truly highlight of my week week in and week out!!!
Great to hear Alex, thank you. Cheers!
Music is a friend for life, although like most friends it can piss you off from time to time 😂
As someone who set a goal to work on my mental health this year especially after the last year. Mick, I have noticed a huge difference in your character on the show.
I remember when you would throw a little jab here and there to the internet.
The good news is you have a beautiful wife and new puppy and they don’t! Hahaha
Cheers man. Thank you for your humility
That jazz section through the Tone King Imperial sounded so nice! I tried one over 10 years ago and it's still one of the best clean tones I've tried. Would love to see that amp more on the show - and Dan's jazz playing!
Mick, great that you are taking care of yourself! Depression is no joke and figuring out your ways out of it is such a breakthrough.
Mick, more power to you mate. It's such a difficult topic to speak about and you've done it wonderfully. Thank you.
Mick, I freaking love how honest you are about your mental health. It’s very inspiring to me as someone who is married to a mental health professional. Getting rid of the stigma associated with it is so important to do. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
Thanks Jeff. It’ll be as normal as talking about getting a cold before too much longer. And without all the stigma it’ll be much easier to deal with too! Thank you to your wife for her work!
Mick, your segment on depression is one of the best things I've ever seen on TPS; I am in tears. Thank you.❤️ I so desperately want to put my bag down! Aside: One of the things i love about playing guitar and making music is that it demands I be in the "now," so it is welcome therapy for me. Keep on your journey!
Hey Mark, thanks for this man. You’re totally right about playing and music and being present. It’s a little jump from there to realise that you can be that present and ‘now’ in your every day life too. I’m getting glimpses of it - still a ways to go, but man it’s an energising feeling. I wish you the very best!
Thanks Mick, that really helped me. Much appreciated. Good to hear people have gone through the exact same
Love listening to your views on mental health Mick.
Thanks fellas
Mick, thank you for discussing mental health. I generally have considered myself on it but, I have spent the past 12 years pushing myself and being super stressed with work. The impact this has on me, family and friends is not good. I think your chat resonated with me and I should do something about it. Thanks for the links.
Nice one Peter. One day they’ll teach kids basic mental health stuff the same way we teach them about coughs and colds. Good on you sir.
Thank you guys, TPS brightens up my week. Mick, your honesty on the section on mental health was amazing. As a music teacher working on teaching a couple of schools and a lot of private students this could not be more relevant. I have students who will open up to me as a music teacher as it gives them a release from the online schoolday. My own wellbeing is lifted by an enthusiastic student, even just a joke like "do I have to go back to Spanish?" Can make my day.
Love to you Mick and to Catherine too.
Thank you Graham, and for the work you do. Teaching music in today’s education environment is nothing short of heroic!
Another fine show. I always look forward to Mondays and Fridays. Thanks for sharing your personal journey, Mick. I know there are many that take comfort in knowing they are not alone in their struggles.
Bless you my friend in your journey to health! All of what you have said has helped me as well!
Thanks for the honesty and integrity. Mick, it pains me to think that there's an alternate universe where you aren't with us any more due to unmitigated mental health issues. Indeed, the talent and inspiration of many great musicians, artists, teachers, and such have been unfairly lost due to a variety of reasons that all result in not facing these issues or seeking treatment. I applaud you for not only doing so, but having the courage to share your thoughts with your audience and inspire countless others. The two of you inspired me to pick up an instrument I knew nothing about, and I'm going to keep at it, even if I'm rubbish. Cheers!
Thanks J! We’re all rubbish compared to the //really// good people. :0) What matters is that we enjoy it. Nothing more. Cheers!
My youngest is out of college. This year I reached a point where I don’t have to play out. Thank God due to 2020. I’m in rehearsals now for 2021. I’m playing keys and guitar. It’s way more fun when you don’t HAVE to do it. Other than being older than dirt it’s a great place to be. 😀
Great to hear you speak from the heart Mick. Listening to you today has given me food for thought in a very difficult 2020. I'm off now to play my guitar.
Much love to both of you guys. I really feel what Mick talked about and being ever-present has helped me tremendously. It's nice to get a reminder to stay in that frame of mind. Thank you for being courageous enough to put it out there for the world to see.
Thanks John! I’m stoked it’s of some help to you. :0)
Glorious. Presence is absolutely key.
Although it's a very different profession in some respects, what I do (teaching secondary Physics) is actually quite similar in that 99% of what you do is received well by the audience, but it's the 1% where it goes even slightly wrong that sticks with you.
What you're doing on this channel is education in its purest sense. You have an agenda, but you don't really stick to it. You go down rabbit holes. You chase things that are interesting rather than productive. You appeal to - and I mean this in a positive sense - a bunch of absolute nerds rather than the mainstream. Esoterica is where it's at.
Yay! Thank you.
Mick: Thank you so much for sharing about your mental health. Your comments regarding stress living in the past or present I found very thought-provoking and will try to apply in my own life. All the best in 2021!
God bless you Mick, I’ve been dealing with this too. Thank you for sharing with all of us. I know that’s tough for obvious reason. Love the show. Keep it up.
Thank you Mick, thank you so much for discussing mental health issues. I'm going to try to put that bag down coz sometimes it gets heavier than a Fender Twin! I have found that playing the guitar and writing music at the end of the working day is my release. God knows what I would be like without guitar.
Thank you, Mick, I needed to hear this.
Then I’m glad I said it! :0)
I really enjoyed this. Appreciate both of you and the rest of your team/families. Thanks for your honesty, and enthusiasm for guitar. You help me get through this thing called "life". Cheers from Minneapolis
Mick n Dan,
Appreciate you guys, what you do and the genuine openness with which you do it...
After watching this episode those good vibes have gone to another level again...
Wish you both all the best as we journey onward into 2021...
Cheers....
Dan's the next Julian Lage jazzing away on that Tele! Great stuff.
I have no doubt that this video was very helpful to a lot of people. I've given up making New Year's Resolutions. I always end up making an impossible list of things I could never achieve. Not to frighten people off with a bible quote but even Jesus said "Do not worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will have enough worries of its own" (or similar). This past year I have not played the guitar hardly at all, in part because I haven't been permitted to go to Chruch and make a noise. My home sittuation doesn't allow me the freedom to play when I want, as I want. On the up side, I've had time to miss playing, which I hope will inspire me to go back to it with more gusto. Not that I need to put pressure on myself to do that either.
Thank you Mick. I've been on the same journey as you and i hope i get where you are and hope i meet you on the road at some point. Will check out those books. Thanks for what you're doing.
Wow, thanks Mick for your honesty! Incredibly refreshing to hear your thoughts.
Mick, this was very powerful and inspiring!
Thank you Steven!
So, I'd already pressed like for Dan's tone and Jazz playing (something I appreciate but, can't do myself). Then, Mick has the balls to talk openly about mental health.....turns out, you can't press the "Like" button twice to produce a "Double Liked"....believe me, I tried!
Your discussion on your mental health was very inspiring . I am glad you could recognize the symptoms and are educated to get help . Please stay safe and healthy !
I think you guys are both absolutely brilliant. Thanks for sharing your successes and your failures - it's all inspirational. Cheers!
Mick, Mick, Mick. There is some way where I sometimes wonder if this is the reality of modernity/post modernity: the Ego has no where to go but this depressed state. In the TPS spirit of better questions: might it be that depression is possibly not as good a term for this pressure and reduction as compression. Tolle, Dyer and plenty of others would say turn off the compressor. We know its not that easy, except for it is - with practice. It is that thing you said about not seeing yourself down in the middle of it, but as if you are observing it (paraphrased). Practice. Also, all ego's are delicate. That's their deal. Thank you for this. The entire video is fantastic, but I am grateful to hear you work through all of this - and there is not one of us who can't relate - and nothing I have written is a diminishing of the seriousness of it for those who are struggling.
Thank you kindly. I hear you. :0)
The head of the counselling service at my place of work has developed a model, which she's published at least one journal paper on and is (or has just finished) writing up for her PhD thesis.
She talks about everyone having a "workable range" of emotion where things are fine and you're tolerant of being a little up or a little down from normal: go above the range and you start to get stressed or anxious ("up regulated") and below it you get "down regulated" and depressed or withdrawn.
When you're out of your workable range, whether up or down, the range is compressed -- effectively you have less dynamic range in which all is okay, plus it's harder to find your way back to because it's narrower.
It's an interesting model and I was very much reminded of it by your post.
@@QuirqUK That is truly fascinating. I appreciate you sharing this. I like having these kind of images and ways of "looking" at it. I have often said - and sometime years ago in response to Mick and Dan at some point: life and relationships should be like subtractive eq: take away what you don't like (cut) instead of boosting the stuff you want: lower the noise floor, leave room and let the undesirable go. So, now we have compression and eq has really great metaphors for life. LOL.
1:21 Captain Lee Anderton's micro-riff! :-) thanks for the video, as always
Was just about to comment about that!
Can somebody research the origins of this riff maybe? Cos damn tootin’ it ain’t the Cap!
@@ThatPedalShow I think the origin would be somewhere between Bach and Robert Johnson :-) I'm sure Captain wouldn't claim it; just one of his go-to phrases/idioms.
Hahahah!
@@ThatPedalShow Captain somewhere said, he nips it from Clapton.
Mick, those words really helped and I’m right behind you in your thoughts on mental well-being. Slowly getting there and very much appreciated. There is nothing more I look forward to than your videos each week. Thanks Mick and Dan
Listening to you guys being so incredibly open and honest about your internal struggles really is cause for a standing applause. Considering the size of your audience, you are reaching so many people that hopefully will learn to understand that it is not only okay to be honest about how you feel, it is the best way to live your life! Be honest with yourselves, friends. Try to understand, or at least be aware of how you feel, why you feel that way and always reach out to others if you need it. Hopefully, you all have good friends, family members, councillors or therapists to rely on!
Mick, credit to you, for being such a human being, Dan credit to you, for being Mick's mate.....
Man, the delay before overdrive sounded AMAZING!!!
Cool innit!?
@@ThatPedalShow Have you tried reverb before fuzz tho? It's pretty dope as well
Dan, your jazz playing is sounding fantastic. It's really apparent you've been putting in work there. Can't wait to hear more!
@Mick I am a fan of the TPS Show watched every episode and learned so much, but sharing your thoughts was real awesome and maybe the best takeaway from anyone for a long time. Thanks for sharing and being so brave to be so authentic.
Hey Mick. Modern Man in Search of a Soul by Carl Jung helped me out during some dark patches. Not a long read but it helped me change my life.
Interesting that you both felt that creative juices aren’t flowing as well as normal. I feel the same. It’s odd having more time to play but less desire to do so.
Fantastic episode, love the honesty you both bring to the show. Dan you’re jazz playing has been a revolution this year. Mick the way you have learnt to combat Depression is wonderful.
All my love goes to you Mick !!!! You are on the right path ! Keep it up, we love you !!!

Moving segment,Mick...maybe a little side serie..."taking the mick(insert subject)"

this is a serious subject too and since you are the root of all evil this would be appropriate
to address how this ailment affects poor artists...

"shut up and play your guitar!!!!!"
Mick and Dan you guys are an inspiration in guitar and lifes approach to guitar.
Mick your words reference the mind are such an inspiration to me in positivity and the "the now moment" a real mind opener...thank you to both you guys. Your shows because of your enthusiastic to all things guitar/music and life are so infectious and I look forward to your shows brightening my week. Thank you.
Great show! Mick, thank you for bravely sharing your story with us. Big cheers from Tennessee!
In re: Mick's mental health and the coments made by others on this page. Sometimes it seems that Mick thinks he is being trolled by coments but is really not. I think that on occassion something gets lost in translation, for example, from Detroit English to UK English. Sincere questions and coments made by viewers can be taken in unintended ways. I'm sure that the vast majority of your fans mean you well and support you on your journey. Please be well and continue your search for peace (or at least calm) secure in the knowledge that you are doing good work.
Thanks Steven. I’m cool with the dry stuff - the English are kings of it - and I genuinely love constructive criticism. What you might not necessarily always see is the hate, because if it’s really offensive, we just delete it. You have to be on the end of it to really understand how it feels sometimes.
But you are right, the vast majority of this is WONDERFUL. Cheers!
@@ThatPedalShow even Tom bukovac gets some hate but as uncle Larry says, f**k ‘em.
The inherent problem, for me, with RUclips comments is that you never know the background of the commentators (8, 18, or 80 years old) and under what circumstance/frame of mind they are momentarily in when they write the comment (reactionary, resentful, antagonistic, insecure, drunk etc).
I imagine it's kinda like hearing all the demons and (thankfully here, mostly) angels on your shoulder at once.
Anyway, keep up the great work and don't let the ba****rds drag you down.
Thanks for sharing so openly Mick. I’ve been dealing with similarish issues for the last two years (and half my life), and I really appreciate you sharing your story. It does help a lot (and isn’t preachy;) And as always, these kind of things can sometimes come at the perfect moment for people to click, which it did for me just now, clicking again in yet another added layer of clarity for where I’m at and want to go. Cheers!
Bravo and Encore Mick - even more inspiring than ever - Rock on both You guys ! Thank You !

Mick, a heartfelt thank you for your willingness to be so open. As someone who has people in my life I love dearly that battle with depression I applaud you. The world would be a much better place if we could remove the stigma around mental health and depression and just speak openly about it. Thank you.
