This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

The BIG Take-Aways:

Here are our tips for traveling with instruments. We are recently on the lookout for a travel guitar, because it would allow us more options when traveling than we currently have.

We now have TSA flight cases for our instruments. We loosen the strings and check it when we get to the gate. Because it is a TSA flight case and locks, Bruce is not as concerned with how the guitar is treated by baggage handlers.

Ideally, we would like to be able to have an instrument—along with the travel studio—in case the inspiration strikes, we can create a song as we are out and about in the world.
