The year was 2015. Show host Blake Wyland intended to start a podcast where he took a deep dive with his guests from the guitar world to explain their rigs. What happened was that, but also a whole lot more. The show quickly evolved into discussions about people's lives. Guitars, pedals, amps, etc. are the central hub of the show, but it really is more about the PEOPLE behind all of it. Both the m... more

  • All the Cool Kids

    This pod is so much fun to listen to.Most of the time it’s pure gear bliss. Some of the conversations get deep into gear and some get into mindset and philosophy of musicians and other creative people in the music industry. Blake is a fun loving guy and he knows his stuff, seems like a good guy and it must be cool hanging out with him. So many great great topics and conversations on this podcast. Fun stuff for people that love everything about music

  • Lots of fascinating stuff.

    I’m not really a fan of interview shows so I didn’t expect I’d like this as much as I do. I heard Blake on the Chasing Tone podcast that he also cohosts and he talked about some of the people he interviewed. The one that got me really interested was Tom Cram of Digitech pedals.

  • A must listen every week.

    Blake has a ton of amazing artists, creators, and stars on each week and the content never fails to entertain. The patreon episodes get even crazier. He even has been known to do giveaways from time to time and my wife won one. First time we’ve ever legit won anything from a show. So that was awesome. Can’t say enough good things!

“My Job Is Guitar” with Emily Harris of Get Offset
Q: What was the thought process when you pivoted into doing the demos?
Emily wanted to test her skills, share her passion for gear, and challenge the idea that women were not making guitar demos. As her videos gained traction and she enjoyed the work, she focused more on YouTube than podcasting.
Emily Wolfe Almost Quit… Then Her Phone Went Off
Q: Is how is your process changed like record to record? Is it still kind of the same or what? What is what do things look like now?
Wolfe says her process changed from writing alone to working closely with producer and writing partner Gavin Brown. He helps shape songs, offers mentorship, and has helped her accept that she does not have to do everything herself.
Emily Wolfe Almost Quit… Then Her Phone Went Off
Q: How did you guys get hooked up?
Wolfe says musician Sean Dealey introduced her to producer Gavin Brown while she was producing a band's record at Sweetwater Studios. The introduction came as she was close to quitting music, and working with Brown quickly felt like a strong musical fit.
“Don’t Get a Job.” w/ Zoe Jet of Zoe Jet Guitars
Q: What do you think about when you're designing or shaping, or how do you do that with your necks?
Jet says necks are a personal interface affected by playing style and hand size. She chose a fuller shape based on what felt right to her, influenced by working with Barry Grzebik.
