Full Episode
The following is a conversation with Tal Wilkenfeld, a singer-songwriter, bassist, guitarist, and a true musician who has recorded and performed with many legendary artists, including Jeff Beck, Prince, Eric Clapton, Incubus, Herbie Hancock, Mick Jagger, Jackson Browne, Rod Stewart, David Gilmour, Pharrell, Hans Zimmer, and many, many more. This was a fun and fascinating conversation.

I try to make these interesting, but if you must skip them, friends, please still check out the sponsors. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will too. This episode is brought to you by Masterclass.
$10 a month gives you an all-access pass to watch courses from the best people in the world in their respective disciplines. Since this conversation is with Tal, a true musician, let me mention that Carlos Santana has a Masterclass, one I really enjoyed. Carlos Santana is one of my favorite guitarists. Europa has an instrumental solos workshop
One of the most melodic, beautiful, soulful guitar-based compositions I've ever heard. I've started learning it and left it aside to return to for what I'm ready to truly feel. The... Almost psychedelic-like sadness in it. But also the fun. It really is a rollercoaster of a guitar song. Really, really, really beautiful. Anyway, I highly recommend the Carlos Santana Masterclass.
There is over 180 classes to choose from if Carlos Santana is not your thing. But I will deeply question your judgment if Carlos Santana is not your thing. Anyway, get unlimited access to every Masterclass and get an additional 15% off an annual membership at masterclass.com slash lexpod. That's masterclass.com slash lexpod.
This episode is also brought to you by Element, a drink, or rather a powder that you mix in with water that creates the drink that I'm currently drinking. And I drink it all throughout the day. It's the most delicious and healthy way to consume water. Especially if you do low-carb diets like I do. Getting the electrolytes right is really important.
They got sodium, potassium, magnesium in really good proportions. Plus the whole thing is super delicious. Watermelon salt's my favorite flavor. I bet it'll be your favorite flavor too. Anyway, I mix it with water in a, funny enough, Powerade bottle. So if you see me on the podcast table with a Powerade bottle and a clear-looking liquid inside there, it's not Powerade, friends.
It is water with electrolyte. That's what I drink during the podcast. It's satiating, refreshing, energizing, delicious, all of those things. And healthy. That's probably the most important thing. Anyway, get a sample pack for free with any purchase. Try it at drinkelement.com. This episode is brought to you by Eight Sleep, and it's pod three cover. It's a source of happiness.
