  • 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

  • It had to happen

    Remember the two of them together the first time on MIW, it was so fun I dreamed of a podcast. Unreal that it happened. My hope is for adventurous guests, unusual players. Dream episode would be Joe Gore and a run through of his amazing pedals. And get him to explain how he got bludgeoning tone to Goin’ Out West.
