I got to spend two days with Frank Hannon of Tesla making his brand new Master Course, and then we sat down for this conversation about his guitar style, where it came from, and everything that shaped it along the way.

Frank also shares what it was like to have Dickey Betts as his father-in-law for 24 years — including a phrasing lesson Dickey passed down that came straight from Willie Nelson.
