>> brittany: hey, what's up? i'm britt burton, and you're watching "beta records tv," and today we're here at the gibson showroom with billy morrison, one of the most fabulous rock guitarists, and he's gonna be giving us an inside scoop on gibson guitars. thank you so much for letting us just come by and check all this out. >> my absolute pleasure. >> brittany: obviously, we have a lot of guitars behind us right now, but something cool that gibson came out with was a self-tuning guitar. how is that different from playing one that you have to tune? >> many, many songs are written and recorded in different tunings. once you start doing gigs and stuff, you find yourself doing 12 songs, and there's 6 different tunings. now, you got to own six

different guitars, or you're gonna be out of tune because you can't really keep retuning one guitar because they're not set up to do that. that thing there, the dark fire, blew my mind. now, it's pretty technical, and it's been a while since i played it, but, basically... [ chords play ] and then if you select another tuning... yeah, now you've got instant rolling stones. [ rock music plays ] but you've still got to be able to play like keith richards. >> brittany: yes. so, how do you know when picking out a guitar, just for someone who doesn't really play guitar that much, which guitar is right for you? >> you know what? that's a great question. who's your favorite band? who do you want to sound like, to start with? who makes you excited when you hear them? for me, the band the sex pistols

changed my life, and even before i knew what a gibson or a les paul was, i saw steve jones playing a guitar that looked like that, and so i'd look at all the other pictures of guitarists, and they weren't playing guitars that looked like this, they looked like that or that. >> i want one of these. if you're a green day fan, you're gonna want a junior. i think it's a junior that billie joe plays. if you're a u2 fan, you're either gonna want a les paul, or you're gonna want one of these, which is a 335. start off with that -- what does your favorite guitar player play? 'cause you ain't gonna go wrong. >> brittany: and for kids who want to start playing and get their very own guitar, what do you need to start playing guitar? >> really, you just need a guitar, an amp, and a cord to plug it in, and then you just need some imagination. get your favorite song, learn how to play that, and then turn it up and play along with it. that's the best buzz. i still get a buzz doing that. >> brittany: [ chuckles ] well, thank you so much for letting us stop by and check out all these cool guitars and hearing what you're up to now. >> my pleasure. >> brittany: it's been awesome. >> do you want to have a look

around? >> brittany: i would love that. >> let me give you a tour. >> brittany: thank you. >> follow me. this is a nice guitar. this is a 335 -- gibson 335. it's very blues, it's very, like, chuck berry-style, but a% lot of rock guys are using it now. the edge uses it on a lot of stuff. that's a bass. do you know why that's a bass? >> brittany: 'cause it only has four strings. >> there you go. that's all you need to know is that bass players can only handle four strings. i believe this is called the explorer. james hetfield -- that's that kind of stuff -- metallica. the sound of the guitar depends on the wood and how much -- how heavy it is, how much wood is involved in the guitar, and, yes, it does affect the tone. i prefer more wood. that's why i like the single cutaway of the les paul. now, this should never be used unless your name is jimmy page. if ever -- i do not want to see anyone that isn't jimmy page with this because this is the "stairway to heaven" guitar. if you buy one, put it at home, hang it on the wall, and look at

it. acoustics are harder to play than the electrics because the action and the width of the neck is a different style. that's the acoustic room, but i -- i don't... >> brittany: okay. >> and that's the gibson beverly hills showroom, and i hope you learned something. >> brittany: thank you so much for all your time. it's been great. >> it's been great. thank you, guys. >> ♪ i was a woman swollen full with child ♪ ♪ i was a healer, shaman in the wild ♪ ♪ i was a prosecutor, i was put on trial ♪ ♪ i put forth the accusation, baby, i made the denial ♪

>> what's up everybody? i'm brandon johnson with "beta records tv," and in the studio with us today is parker ainsworth. what's up, buddy? >> what up? >> good to see you. originally from austin, now you're in los angeles, and you are living on a sailboat of all things. tell us about it. >> well, my journey was a myriad of different random vocations, ended up out here. i needed a place to say. i told people i wanted to live next to the ocean 'cause it's really inspiring. i told them i had $300 a month to spend on rent. um, you can imagine some of the smiles and open laughter that greeted that comment. i looked on craigslist one day, and it said, "$288 a month, four blocks from the beach, laundry room, sauna," all these amenities, and it was like, "what's the catch?" you click on it, and it's like, "you have to buy my boat." and so i went out there, and the boat was a -- it's a 1971 27-foot catalina, and the

most interesting thing is i'd never sailed a boat in my life. so i bought this sailboat. >> you just had to learn how to sail on the spot? >> i'm still learning. i mean, it's in the slip most of the time, but i stay there in between when i'm traveling around, and it's how i managed to stay in los angeles, and it's been the closest thing to home base i've known in the city, so it's awesome. >> you recently challenged yourself to write seven songs in seven days. >> yeah. >> tell us about that process. >> a friend of mine, jessie payo, who you all just actually had in here, we were talking about songwriting and just developing a practice, you know? and jessie threw out the idea, "have you ever done seven songs in seven days?" at first, i was like, "that just sounds like a lot of pressure to put on me," you know, 'cause in the past i've been too much of a perfectionist, you know, which can really put up way too many blockades. so, i moved them out of the way, and when i was back in austin for south by, i did seven in seven days. out of the seven -- you know, you do seven songs in seven days, half of them are like, "okay, there's something here," you know? three of them, they'll probably

get composted and something new will grow out of it. >> the other ones, keep in your pocket. you never know how they'll kind of evolve. >> you never know, man, how it's gonna pop up, so... >> also, i know one of the things that you do, you played all over and stuff, but you've also done, like, house parties. you played a house party recently. >> i love them, yes. >> how cool is it to play a house party as opposed to playing a big club or something like that? >> the quality of listening is just so phenomenal. because when you're up there a lot of the time, especially if it's just a solo artist, you know, you're broadcasting a lot of energy, and sometimes you don't feel like you're getting much back, which is okay. i mean, everything's, you know, a balance, eventually. but in those environments, like a living-room concert, it's so real time. people really feed off of it, and one thing i do, i do some improvisational stuff, and it's a really great arena for that. >> do you invite pretty much anybody that's in the audience to come up and sing along? like, how do they get involved? >> the way that i've been doing it is i have this one tune called "pulling back the curtain," and it's just an open format where i ask for some input from the crowd -- three words, and then as i go through those three words, if they feel

inclined, they throw more words at me, and then that's one way i've been doing it, and at the last living-room concert, the lady who hosted me, she did sing with me on several songs, and that was just really beautiful. it brought everything together, where i realized that in some way, something that came through me was connecting to her, and that whole cycle is just really amazing. ♪ bury me at sea ♪ to the last great mystery ♪ burn my ship far from shore ♪ ashes in the waves ♪ give the riptide my remains ♪ all that's left, you'll know
