Episode 29 of Cody Kai Cast dives deep into the craft, chaos, and chemistry of live guitar with two Texas standouts: Matt Muehling (Kill Tony Band, We Da Homies) and Will Owen Gage (Mike and the Burnalls).
From playing Madison Square Garden and Vegas with Bruno Mars’ Pinky Ring band, to holding down Austin’s most electric stages at C-Boy’s, Matt and Will unpack what it takes to balance professionalism, improvisation, and raw emotion in music.
We talk shop on:
🎸 The eternal debate — groove vs. chops, pocket vs. flash.
🎸 Why professionalism and dependability are as vital as talent.
🎸 The intensity of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Dimebag Darrell.
🎸 The magic of improvisation with We Da Homies.
🎸 Matt’s legendary “25 or 6 to 4” solo with Grooveline Horns.
🎸 How money changes a musician’s relationship to the art.
Whether you’re a guitarist, music nerd, or just someone who loves seeing passion turn into craft, this episode is a front-row seat to the mindset of modern guitar heroes.
