  • About Loog Guitars

    Re: #584, Loog guitars tune to G-B-E. This makes for a smoother transition to playing a 6-string in standard tuning. Of course, you can always experiment (as most of us do). Do enjoy this podcast. Cheers!

  • Thanks

    I’ve listened to the podcast for years on a different platform, so I was never able to leave a rating. Now that I listen on Apple’s Podcast app I’d like to say that I’ve been entertained immensely by Brian, Blake, and Richard (and even before Blake with the old crew- to be fair, I listened to Tone Mob before Blake became a permanent fixture on Chasing Tone, so there’s that :-) ). Thanks guys!
