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

    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. Once I listened to that episode I kind of got a little hooked. He doesn’t just have musicians on that are trying to climb their way up to whatever is considered the top these days. He talks to a lot of people who do are v... more

  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Buddy Blues: From Beirut Blues Kid to Guitar YouTube
Q: Did your YouTube channel take off right away, or was it a slow burn?
Absolutely not at first; it was a slow burn through early gear demos and then a transition during the YouTube evolution post-COVID, with growth driven by rare gear demos and a shift toward more personal storytelling.
Buddy Blues: From Beirut Blues Kid to Guitar YouTube
Q: When did you start playing guitar and what inspired you to get into this field?
I started with classical piano as a kid in Beirut, then a neighbor introduced me to electric guitar and blues, which sparked my lifelong passion and led me to form a band and tour.
Cosmodio and the Art of Beautiful Chaos (Barton McGuire)
Q: When did you start Cosmodio and what led you to start a pedal company?
Barton explains he started Cosmodio Instruments in early 2024 after a long period of tinkering, building experimental circuits, and eventually realizing there was a dream worth pursuing full-time. The move was fueled by a desire to turn a lifelong passion into a company and a supportive moment with a friend who encouraged the idea.
Will York: Thunder Road, Vintage Guitars & Betting It All
Q: How did you manage growth and financing when expanding Thunder Road?
It required building a strong team, lining up financing, and taking calculated risks. I lived in the shop basement during the early expansion, stayed focused on the goal, and relied on trusted professionals to navigate environmental and financial hurdles. The support from friends and the local community was crucial.
Will York: Thunder Road, Vintage Guitars & Betting It All
Q: What advice would you give to someone who wants to open a guitar store?
Everybody's going to tell you how hard it is and how slim the chances are, but if you believe in what you're doing and you can find your niche, you should go for it. Hire good people, be prepared to work ridiculously long hours, and show up every day with passion for the craft and the community.
