  • Ok

    If you like commercials as much as you do guitar, this is the perfect podcast for you.

    Not only too many, but too sudden and loud when you are listening to people talk.

    It’s really too bad because I like the content of the show but I couldn’t get through one episode when 25% of the show is ads

  • The best!

    I watch the show on YouTube but had to come here just to rate and leave a review. Huge fan of JJN and seeing Tyler on YouTube along the way of my guitar journey and would never have thought these two would be doing a pod together. These two are both just down to earth beautiful humans. It’s like Jared always says, guitar and music isn’t a competition, but brings people together to share a passion of music no matter who is better then who. Again the best podcast of musicians interviewing musician... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 60 - The Greatest Guitar Stores in England (ft. Lee Anderton)
Q: What is the biggest takeaway or lesson you've had from all of your guests as young budding hosts that we're trying to be?
Lee says he is fascinated by how music helps people deal with situations, while also enjoying practical conversations about players' gear and playing techniques.
Episode 57 - Sonny Landreth
Q: How did tuning and open tunings influence his early guitar development?
He experimented with open tunings after initially starting in standard; these tunings enabled new voicings and esoteric harmonies, influencing both his rhythm and melody lines.
Episode 57 - Sonny Landreth
Q: What sparked Sonny's shift toward slide guitar and the vocal quality he aimed to emulate on the instrument?
He began with trumpet and band reading, which gave him a wind-influenced approach to phrasing; discovering the slide as a vehicle to mimic the human voice allowed him to shape a unique guitar language.
Episode 55 - The Best Bluegrass Guitarist Goes METAL
Q: Trey, what would happen if you walked into a session with that thing?
I'd expect people to be surprised, but I'd also lean into the moment and try to use the guitar's character to spark a conversation, build a groove, and see where the vibe takes us rather than forcing a rigid part. I'd rely on my instincts and adapt quickly, focusing on the rhythm and the attitude rather than trying to prove technical points.
Episode 28 - Kent Crawley
Q: Where can people learn from you and what formats do you offer?
People can sign up for lessons at kentcrawleymusic.com; Kent offers Zoom, in-person sessions in Nashville, and online courses, plus a chromaticism book.
