Podcasts about electric guitars

Today our hosts talk about their favorite off-label uses for pedals: an Expression Ramper as an expression splitter, a trereo overdrive pedal as a lofi tape machine, a pedal with perfectly spaced knobs as a phone holder, etc. They take calls and some comments from the Discord, all focused around pedal usage that goes beyond the marketing and expectations of the user interface into unexpected sonic corners.

He can do it all. Lyle Workman plays like the instrument can take flight. We talk everything guitar. Hamers too!!!!

At The NAMM Show 2026, John Page walks Sean Martin of ITSPmagazine through a hand-painted electric guitar called the Retablo. The motifs are lifted from the artwork that traditionally sits behind a cathedral altar, reimagined so the saints and icons are not from scripture but from the roots of American music. Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Muddy Waters. Howlin' Wolf. Mahalia Jackson. The canvases themselves are cut from the floorboards of an old church. It is one of the most personal guitars John Page has ever built. The conversation traces the arc of John Page Guitars, the small-batch shop John Page runs after more than 20 years at Fender, where he co-founded the legendary Custom Shop and led guitar research and development. He has now been designing and building guitars for 53 years. What gets made today at John Page Guitars is built by a small team, with John Page handling his own custom work and prototypes while a master builder works alongside him on production models. What makes the instruments different is not one big thing but a series of quiet decisions. John Page mounts the neck to the body with threaded machine inserts and machine bolts instead of standard wood screws, a coupling he believes transfers tone better between neck and body and adds overtone complexity that a conventional bolt-on simply does not produce. A flatter 12-inch radius, a reverse-angled bridge pickup that removes the ice-pick high, a vintage-feeling neck profile. Every decision serves a single goal: an instrument that sings as a complete unit. John Page describes his design philosophy in two short phrases. The first is "uniquely familiar," the idea that a guitar should feel comfortable in a player's hands and recognizable in their eyes while still being clearly its own thing. The second is "balanced asymmetry," an imbalance in which he finds a kind of perfect balance. Both show up in the offset fret markers, the body contours, and even in the restraint of the aesthetic choices that surround the Retablo's portraits. The Retablo itself is where that philosophy leaves the factory floor and becomes something closer to a reliquary. John Page had never painted portraits before. He taught himself, hand-painting each founder of American roots music onto wood reclaimed from a dismantled church, designing and building a custom bridge that routes volume and tone controls into the tailpiece so the body can carry its imagery unbroken. A full documentary exists on the making of the guitar for anyone who wants the layer-on-layer detail. When the talking is done, Bryan Ray of John Page Guitars steps in with one of the new baritone builds to let the instrument speak for itself. Every design decision John Page described is suddenly in the room, audible, as one of his guitars does exactly what he designed it to do. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.

In this episode, Charles sits down with Victor Gurbo, a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and guitar builder from Brooklyn, New York. Victor's musical journey began early — literally from infancy, when his father discovered that Traveling Wilburys recordings were the only thing that could calm a crying baby Victor. That early imprinting on Dylan's collaborators set the stage for a lifelong obsession with live music, particularly the work of Bob Dylan, whom Victor estimates he has seen between 20 and 30 times. The conversation opens with Victor recounting his very first concert at age nine — an Arlo Guthrie show in Martha's Vineyard — a memory that exists more in fragments than in full, including nodding off during parts of the set, only to snap back awake for "Alice's Restaurant." The episode is rich with vivid concert memories. Victor shares stories of seeing Levon Helm multiple times at the Beacon Theatre and Terminal 5, reflecting on how Helm's deep love for his audience was palpable, especially after his battle with throat cancer. Victor also recounts a bittersweet Conor Oberst show in 2008, where he got to hear a then-unreleased song that would later appear on the next album — the kind of "you were there first" moment that makes live music so irreplaceable. But perhaps the most memorable story is the infamous Jack White show at Radio City Music Hall in 2012. After losing their tickets outside the venue and spending an hour on hold with StubHub, Victor and his friend were gifted front-row seats by a compassionate employee — only to watch White cut the show short, apparently unhappy with the audience's energy. For Victor, a performer himself, the experience was deeply personal and left a lasting impression on how he thinks about the relationship between an artist and their crowd. Victor's life as a performer and craftsman are equally compelling. After ordering a custom guitar from legendary New York luthier Rick Kelly — who famously builds instruments from the reclaimed wood of demolished Manhattan buildings — and waiting four and a half years for it to arrive, Victor taught himself to build guitars in the meantime, eventually winning Best Band in Brooklyn at NPR's Battle of the Boroughs in 2013 with an instrument he made himself. Since then, the band has performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Carnegie Hall, where a mid-show equipment failure became the crowd's favorite moment of the night. Most recently, Victor released Gurbo and Company Live 2025, a live album recorded at NYC's Cafe Wha? featuring eight tracks, including covers of Bob Dylan's arrangement of "Rollin' & Tumblin'" and Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues." Victor can be found on all social platforms as Victor V. Gurbo, and his website has upcoming show dates and vinyl copies of his pandemic-era home recording project, Outrun the Invisible Man. BANDS: Amos Lee, Arlo Guthrie, Beach Boys, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst, Jack White, Johnny Cash, John Prine, Levon Helm, Mad Meg, Merle Haggard, Neil Young, Phoebe Snow, Scotia Rose, The Cure, The Villalobos Brothers, Traveling Wilburys, U2, Weezer, White Stripes, Willie Nelson.

Today our hosts welcome Dave Gill of Baltimore Sonic Research Institute. Dave is a long-time hog, first time guest, and we have a great time getting into a lot of specifics about Boss pedals, particularly the PS-5 Super Shifter. We ponder the historical arc of Boss' popularity, the different considerations looking at a company that size vs a company like Old Blood vs a company like BSRI, and we reiterate that the best thing about this industry is the people.

Today our hosts welcome Blair White, owner of Eastside Music Supply in Nashville Tennessee. As a stockist and a friend, Blair's history runs in parallel with Old Blood's in a lot of ways, and we talk a lot about what it's like to create a business around the idea that a Nashville guitar store should actually be weird and cool and a good time. We focus the object talk around his Rickenbacker 330, and talk about the many ways he experiences music, whether at the shop, playing out, playing at home, or on the road teching for Adrian Belew.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with guitarist, singer, and songwriter Trey Hensley, and it's a conversation I've been looking forward to for a long time. Trey has built a reputation as one of the most electrifying acoustic guitar players around, and we talk about the moment he finds himself in now—stepping back into a solo role after a decade performing as part of a duo. He's candid about what that transition felt like at first and how embracing that shift has opened the door to new creative possibilities.A big part of our conversation centers on feel and energy in recordings. Trey and I dig into why so many of the records we love breathe and move in ways that feel alive—often recorded without a click track—and why some of that electricity can disappear when studio perfection becomes the goal. It's a thoughtful discussion about spontaneity, musical trust, and the value of leaving room for human feel.We also talk about his upcoming album Can't Outrun the Blues, releasing March 6. The record leans heavily into an acoustic-forward sound, with most of the performances captured live in the room and minimal overdubs. Trey shares how the project came together, the importance of strong songs at the center of it all, and the collaborators who helped bring the music to life.Then we look ahead to another exciting chapter: a new electric, country-leaning project with guitarist Brian Sutton. Trey talks about what it feels like to plug in again after years of acoustic focus, the mix of intimidation and inspiration that comes from playing alongside someone like Brian, and how his time on electric guitar has quietly shaped the way he approaches the acoustic instrument.Along the way, we also get into the realities of modern musicianship—social media and the pressure to produce “content,” stage sound challenges like wedges versus in-ears, bluegrass timing tendencies, and the ongoing challenge of simply hearing yourself onstage. It's a conversation about music, but also about identity, growth, and trusting your instincts as an artist.Key TakeawaysWhat it's like for Trey Hensley to return to a solo role after a decade performing in a duo.Why many of the most beloved recordings breathe without a click track.The philosophy behind recording Can't Outrun the Blues mostly live in the room.How focusing on songs first shaped the direction of the new record.The creative spark—and challenge—of working with Brian Sutton on a more electric project.How playing electric guitar has influenced Trey's acoustic phrasing and tone.Real-world musician topics: social media pressure, stage monitoring (wedges vs. in-ears), and bluegrass timing tendencies.Music from the EpisodeCan't Outrun the Blues — Trey HensleyOne White Line at a Time — Trey HensleyTucson — Trey HensleyAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a long-form conversation podcast where host Brad Williams sits down with some of the most thoughtful musicians, composers, and artists working today.

Send a textThis week on Jams ‘N' Cocktails, Brad Brock cranks up the amps and celebrates National Guitar Day the only way he knows how—loud, nerdy, and with a properly garnished cocktail in hand. Joined by co-host Kevin McLoughlin (and a surprise appearance from Tracy), the crew dives deep into the rich, centuries-long history of the guitar—from ancient Mesopotamian stringed instruments to the electrifying innovations of Les Paul and Leo Fender.But this isn't just a history lesson. Brad and Kevin swap personal stories about their favorite stage guitars, dream instruments, near-miss vintage regrets, and the magic of finding “the one.” They put their ears to the test in a riff-based round of Name That Tune, debate relic guitars vs. earned wear-and-tear, and even squeeze in a spontaneous guitar lesson packed with blues wisdom and practical theory. Whether you're a seasoned player or just love the sound of a screaming Telecaster, this episode hits all the right notes.LinksJNC Officialhttps://www.jncpodcast.comSupport us on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/jncpodcast

What does it take to design a signature guitar from the ground up? Chris Buck sits down with Sean Martin at NAMM 2026 to talk about the journey of creating the Yamaha Revstar RS02CB, his first production signature model. Buck describes the experience as surreal, noting that the weight of joining Yamaha's legacy of signature artists continues to hit him in waves. The lengthy design process, he says, was about making sure every detail lived up to what the guitar could be.How did Chris Buck and Yamaha land on the right pickups for the RS02CB? Buck explains that the pickups were the centerpiece of the collaboration, with the team working through countless iterations of magnet types, wire specifications, and voicing options. The result is a set of custom P90-style pickups that deliver the dynamic, responsive tone he has built his sound around. The wraparound tailpiece, a feature less common on modern instruments, adds sustain and directness to the signal path, contributing to the guitar's massive volume and resonance.What makes the RS02CB stand apart from other Revstar models? Buck highlights a three-way pickup selector switch instead of the five-way found on the current generation of Revstars, along with custom inlays and his own signature squiggle on the back of the headstock. He caps the conversation by playing a lick that shows exactly what the guitar can do, leaving no doubt about the instrument's character and capability.This is a Brand Highlight. A Brand Highlight is a ~5 minute introductory conversation designed to put a spotlight on the guest and their company.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1168: Today we're covering how top dealerships are building stronger workplace cultures, why subprime auto delinquencies are rising, and how Ferrari's first EV aims to keep its signature sound authentic.The Automotive News 2025 Best Dealerships To Work For study reveals what separates top employers from the rest — and it's more about people than paychecks.Winning dealerships excelled in communication, transparency, and trust — 88% of employees said they're “kept aware of the dealership's financial status” vs. just 65% at nonwinners.They lead with fairness: 92% of employees at top stores felt “paid fairly,” and were satisfied with their benefits, compared to 71% elsewhere.Flexible work options are gaining traction, with 48% of Best Dealerships offering four-day workweeks and 79% offering flexible hours.Health and wellness programs were a hallmark — 70% offered fitness reimbursements, and 75% trained managers to spot stress and burnout.“You build trust through being transparent,” said Tim Bergstrom, CEO of Bergstrom AutomotiveThe top dealership to work for in 2025 is Capitol Nissan Salem of the Capitol Auto Group, but we have some friends on the list including Mohawk Honda, 6 from the Rohrman Auto Group, 2 from the Matthews Auto Group and nearly 40 from Bergstrom AutomotiveThe U.S. auto market is showing signs of financial strain as more buyers fall behind on car payments. Rising prices, higher interest rates, and stagnant wages are hitting lower-income consumers hardest.Nearly 14% of new-car buyers now have credit scores below 650 — the highest share since 2016, according to J.D. Power.More than 6% of subprime auto loans are 60 or more days delinquent, a record high, Fitch Ratings reports.Roughly 1.7 million vehicles were repossessed last year — the most since 2009.Lender Tricolor Holdings filed for bankruptcy, underscoring the strain on borrowers with limited credit access.Ferrari's first EV, the Elettrica, won't fake the sound of a V8 — it's creating a new, authentic electric soundtrack. The brand's engineers designed a system that amplifies real motor vibrations to create a natural, emotionally engaging tone.Ferrari rejected synthetic engine noise and instead amplifies genuine drivetrain frequencies through a sensor on the rear axle.The sound activates only when the driver calls for torque, offering “dialogue between driver and car.”The system, developed in-house, works like an electric guitar — converting real vibrations into an audible, performance-linked tone.Ferrari hasn't yet revealed the sound to the public, though early testers reportedly praised it.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:35 New Auto Collabs Episode with Michael Kraut of ExpJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

SynopsisOn today's date in 1996, Michael Tilson Thomas conducted the San Francisco Symphony in the first performance of Lost and Found, a five-minute toccata for orchestra. Its composer was Steve Mackey, an American whose music Tilson Thomas championed and recorded.Mackey wrote: “On more than one occasion Michael has used the word ‘wacky' to describe my music. Composers usually blanch at such attributions — nobody wants to be captured in a single word — but I can live with ‘wacky'. It is not a common adjective, does not end with ‘ism,' and clearly the rhyme with my last name personalizes it. My music tends to explore fringe modes of consciousness rather than brand name emotion or logical thought.”He also avoids conventional titles. His Concerto for Electric Guitar is titled Tuck and Roll, and among his other works can be found Banana/Dump Truck and Eating Greens.Mackey said, “I think a lot about momentum, inertia, and even gravity, allowing the music to get stuck and tip over, lurch headlong, tumble with limbs akimbo as well as to move fluidly gives it a ‘road runner' cartoon kind of physicality, a fantasy, but not completely unhinged from the physical world.”Music Played in Today's ProgramSteven Mackey (b. 1956): Lost and Found; New World Symphony; Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor; BMG 63826

In this week's episode, Paul Andrews breaks down everything beginners need to know about transitioning to their first electric guitar. Suppose you're moving from acoustic or want a deeper understanding of what makes an electric guitar tick. In that case, this episode is packed with valuable insights—from body types and pickups to must-have accessories and practical buying advice.Key Topics Covered1. Acoustic vs. Electric GuitarsDifferences in body structure, sound projection, and use of amplification.2. Types of Electric Guitar BodiesSolid Body: Most common, less prone to feedback. (E.g., most guitars in shops)Semi-Hollow Body: More resonance; versatile across genres like jazz, blues, and pop. (E.g., Gibson ES335)Hollow Body: Favoured in jazz; fuller sound but prone to feedback at high gain. (E.g., Gretsch 6120)3. Important Components & ControlsPickups: Magnetic coils that capture string vibrations (more details on types below).Volume & Tone Controls: Adjust output and treble/bass mix.Pickup Selector: Switch between different pickup sounds (neck = warm/rhythm, bridge = bright/lead).Bridge Types: Fixed (better sustain) vs. Floating/Tremolo (lets you bend pitch with a whammy bar).Strings: Electric guitars often have lighter strings, easier on the fingers than acoustic.4. Pickups ExplainedSingle-Coil: Bright, nuanced; found in Fender Stratocasters. Great for pop, blues, soul, funk, and rock.P90: Vintage sound; sits between single-coil and humbucker.Humbucker: More powerful, noise-cancelling, great for rock and metal.Active Pickups: Extra power, require a battery—favoured by some metal players.5. Neck Profiles, Scale Length & ActionNeck Profile: Impacts playability and comfort (thin = fast play, fat = easier bends).Scale Length: Affects string tension and playability (Fender usually longer than Gibson).Action: Height of strings above fretboard. Lower action = easier play, but too low can cause buzzing.6. Woods UsedMaple vs. Rosewood Fingerboards: Maple is bright and durable; rosewood is warmer and more comfortable.7. What to Look For in a Beginner Electric GuitarPlayability: Make sure the guitar feels good and comfortable in your hands.Tunability: Important for staying in tune, especially with budget or secondhand instruments.Brand Matters: Established brands generally offer better reliability and quality control.Budget Bundles: Look for packs with guitar, amp, and accessories from brands like Yamaha, Epiphone, and Squier.8. Recommended GuitarsBudget: Yamaha Pacifica 112v—great value, reliable, versatile.Mid-Range: Squier Classic Vibe Series (Stratocaster/Telecaster)—beginner-friendly, holds value.Higher-End: Fender Standard Series—affordable entry into Fender brand quality.9. Essential AccessoriesAmplifier: Boss Katana Mini, Fender Frontman, Yamaha TRS5, Positive Grid Spark.Cable: Invest in a quality guitar cable.Tuner: Clip-on tuners or smartphone apps (Fender, Boss).Strap, Picks,...

Today Object Worship is joined by Angelo Mazzocco and Terry Burton of Meris! Many a Meris pedal has come up in conversation on the cast, so the hosts were glad to welcome two of the company's founders to talk about their music gear journeys. We begin with Terry's Marshall 6100 amp, then discuss Angelo's Ibanez RG570 guitar, and trace various parallels of their development as musicians, tinkerers, and now engineers at the forefront of guitar pedals.

Today our hosts are joined again by Andy Pitcher! Longtime listeners may remember his first appearance discussing the DL-4, and today he returns to discuss his second place object: The Mutt (How To Skateboard And Not Kill Yourself) by Rodney Mullen and Sean Mortimer. They talk about its influence in Andy's adolescence and the new lessons it holds in adult life, many of which manifest in his recent debut solo album, Dot. A number of topics both musical and personal appear along the way, both very heavy and very light - much like the album itself.Check out Dot on Bandcamp: https://andypitcher.bandcamp.com/album/dotBuy yourself some OBNE: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us all on the socials: @andy.pitcher, @danfromdsf, @andyothling, @oldbloodnoiseSubscribe to Andy's latest Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/powereconomyLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!

For decades, Nels Cline carved out a career on the fringes of rock, jazz, and experimental music, balancing day jobs with an uncompromising artistic vision. Then, at nearly 50 years old, everything changed—he joined Wilco, bringing his avant-garde sensibilities into a beloved band and reaching a global audience. But Cline's story isn't one of sudden success; it's about persistence, reinvention, and creative restlessness. In this episode, he reflects on his journey—from growing up in Los Angeles with his twin brother, drummer Alex Cline, to navigating the punk and avant-garde jazz scenes, to his latest album, Consentrik Quartet (Blue Note Records), which explores the tension between stillness and chaos, structure and improvisation. Cline speaks candidly about collaboration, musical identity, and the ever-evolving nature of his work, proving that there's no single timeline for artistic success—only the drive to keep going. www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com https://www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story
