Today on Let There Be Talk, I'm sitting down with a true guitar legend — Brad Gillis. Brad is one of those players whose sound you know the second you hear it. He helped define the sound of Night Ranger with those killer dual-guitar harmonies, and he also stepped into some pretty massive shoes when he joined Ozzy Osbourne's band following the passing of Randy Rhoads. We're talking about the early days, Night Ranger, Ozzy, Randy Rhoads, the legendary Speak of the Devil record, life on the road, and what it was like being one of the guitar players at the center of some of the biggest moments in rock history. Brad Gillis is a killer guitar player, a Rock n Roller and a huge part of the history of American hard rock. Let's get into it. This is Brad Gillis — right here on Let There Be Talk.

Jhoely Garay is a Mexican-born jazz guitarist, composer, and arranger and the leader of the Jhoely Garay Jazz Orchestra. She combines classic and contemporary jazz with Latin rhythms. And like me, she likes to write message songs about subjects like the climate, and also about untold or hidden histories left out of official narratives. She's become an important part of the jazz scene in New York and Mexico. She's performed at major venues including Carnegie Hall, The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, and The MET Museum. And she won five Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation awards. My featured song is “Take Me”, from the album East Side Sessions by my band Project Grand Slam.

In this episode, Paul pulls back the curtain on the often-overlooked skills that separate well-rounded guitarists from those who feel stuck or stagnant. While most players focus on learning chords, scales, and songs, there are essential skills that only develop when you actually play rather than just practice. Paul outlines these hidden skills and offers motivational advice to help you grow not just as a player, but as a musician.Key Takeaways1. Recovering from MistakesGreat guitarists aren't flawless—they're just excellent at recovering from slip-ups during performances. Learning to keep going after you make a mistake is a vital skill that can only be developed through actual playing, not just isolated practice.2. Keeping the Music MovingMusic is about flow and continuity. Stopping your strumming hand or hesitating is more disruptive than a misplaced chord. Keep the rhythm and music moving—even if it means simplifying or skipping a section. The audience is more likely to notice a pause than a minor fumble.3. ListeningDuring practice, we focus almost exclusively on technique and finger placement. When playing, it's crucial to listen—to yourself, to backing tracks, or other musicians. Listening back to recordings of yourself is a powerful way to identify areas for improvement and hone your musical ear.4. Musical ExpressionThe notes are just the beginning—how you play them is what sets you apart. Dynamics, timing, tone, space, and vibrato all add your unique voice to the music. Expression is what makes the same song sound completely different when played by different guitarists.5. ConfidenceConfidence isn't accidental—it's earned through experience. Every time you play through nerves, recover from a mistake, or perform for others, your confidence grows. Stick with a proven path and recognize that every bit of progress builds both your competence and your self-assurance.Weekly ChallengePick a complete song and imagine you're performing it for someone who matters to you. Play it from beginning to end. If you make a mistake, recover and keep going. Use expression, listen as you play, and reflect at the end on which of the five skills you experienced during the performance.Upcoming Live WorkshopJoin Paul this Sunday, August 9th at 9 PM GMT, for the "From Practice to Playing" live workshop. The session is designed to help you transition your practice skills into genuine musical performance—building confidence, using backing tracks, and making your music come alive. Members can register via the Academy forum or email. Not a member yet? Start with a $1 two-week trial and join the workshop as part of your trial. Join HereFinal ThoughtsPracticing technique is essential, but playing is what makes you a musician. Don't just chase new information—invest in becoming the guitarist you've always wanted to be by developing these musician's skills.Rate and review the podcast to help spread the word and inspire more beginner guitarists!For more information, updates, or to start your membership, visit beginnerguitaracademy.com.

British blues guitarist, singer-songwriter and Blues Hall of Fame inductee Will Johns has just released his sixth studio album, On Top of the World, and this September he'll publish his deeply personal memoir, Bluesdaddy: Born into Noise, Raised on Chaos and Saved by the Blues. The title says it all. Will was born into one of rock music's most legendary families. He's the son of famed producer and engineer Andy Johns, whose work can be heard on classic albums by Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones. His uncle is legendary producer and engineer Glyn Johns. His mother is Paula Boyd, making him the nephew of Pattie Boyd and Jenny Boyd. That also meant that George Harrison, Eric Clapton and even Mick Fleetwood were family. In fact, Eric wasn't just one of the greatest guitarists in history—he was Uncle Eric, and the man who inspired Will to play guitar. But Bluedayddy isn't a story about celebrity. It's a story about growing up surrounded by brilliance and addiction, fame and dysfunction, and ultimately finding salvation through the blues. Today, Will has built an impressive legacy of his own. He's been nominated for Best Original Blues Song at the British Blues Awards three years in a row, was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in Chicago in 2025, is currently touring with The Cream of Clapton Band, and this September he'll also perform at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Texas. In our conversation, we talk about what it was really like growing up inside one of rock's most famous families and finding his own voice as an artist.

Few musicians have influenced popular music as profoundly as Louie Shelton, yet millions of people know his guitar long before they know his name. In this episode of A Breath of Fresh Air, Louie opens the studio door on one of the greatest periods in recording history.Growing up in Arkansas, Louie discovered the guitar as a young boy, met Elvis Presley while still at junior high school and later became friends with fellow Arkansan Glen Campbell before heading west to Los Angeles with one ambition—to become a top session guitarist. He explains why becoming a studio musician was the ultimate dream and how years of relentless work finally earned him a place among the legendary Wrecking Crew. Louie reveals how one inspired guitar hook changed everything. Asked to come up with something memorable for a new television project called The Monkees, he created the famous opening riff to Last Train to Clarksville, launching a career that would see producers across Los Angeles competing for his talents. He shares extraordinary stories from sessions with The Jackson 5, Motown, Boz Scaggs, Neil Diamond, The Carpenters, Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson and dozens more, explaining how many classic recordings were built before the artists even stepped into the studio. You'll hear what made the Motown rhythm section so unique, why Michael Jackson immediately stood out as an 11-year-old vocalist and how session musicians created some of the most recognisable guitar parts in music history. Louie also reflects on working with Elvis Presley, Karen Carpenter, Tiny Tim and countless stars whose careers he watched unfold, while offering thoughtful observations on fame, celebrity and why so many legendary artists struggled with the pressures that accompanied enormous success. The conversation also explores Louie's transition from session guitarist to acclaimed producer, producing Seals & Crofts' Summer Breeze and Diamond Girl, launching England Dan & John Ford Coley, and producing Art Garfunkel's platinum-selling Fate For Breakfast. Finally, Louie reflects on why he believes the music of the '60s and 70s continues to resonate with audiences around the world and explains why, despite an extraordinary career spanning more than six decades, he still picks up the guitar every day. This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the true architects of popular music—a man whose guitar playing became part of the soundtrack of generations.

Alejandro Aranda—also known as Scarypoolparty—joins Caught on the Mike for a wide-ranging conversation about his musical journey, his creative process, and the release of his new EP, Baroque.After captivating audiences as the runner-up on American Idol in 2019, Alejandro has continued to chart his own artistic path, releasing acclaimed projects including Exit Form, Doom Hologram, The Act of Forgiveness, and now Baroque. Rather than following trends, he's built a reputation for blending classical, jazz, indie rock, electronic music, pop, and drum & bass into a sound that's entirely his own.In this episode, Alejandro discusses the inspiration behind Baroque, how the project reflects both his musical influences and personal evolution, and why he continues to challenge himself creatively with every release. We revisit his American Idol experience, explore his distinctive fingerstyle guitar technique, and talk about songwriting, artistic independence, and the freedom that comes from creating music without being confined by expectations or genre labels.Whether you've followed Alejandro since his American Idol days or recently discovered his work as Scarypoolparty, this conversation offers an insightful look at one of today's most inventive singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, as well as the mindset that continues to shape his evolving career.www.caughtonthemike.comcaughtonthemike@gmail.com 

From the Gibson Flying V and Explorer to the Jackson Randy Rhoads, Dean ML, B.C. Rich Warlock, and Ibanez RG, pointy guitars helped define the look and sound of hard rock and heavy metal. But how did these outrageous designs go from being dismissed as oddities to becoming some of the most iconic instruments in rock history?Author and musician Sean Kelly joins Booked On Rock to discuss his new book, Battle Axes: A Hard Rockin' History of Pointy Guitars. We explore the stories behind the guitars, the builders who created them, and the legendary players—including Randy Rhoads, Michael Schenker, Eddie Van Halen, Billy Gibbons, Paul Stanley, Twisted Sister, ZZ Top, Def Leppard, and more—who turned these instruments into rock icons. 

David Ellefson and co-host Joshua Toomey welcome guitarist and vocalist Ira Black to the show to discuss his explosive new project, APOCÆLYPSE. Known for his incredible versatility and years as one of metal's most dependable fill-in guitarists, Ira opens up about stepping into the spotlight as the frontman of his own band and embracing the challenge of becoming a singer. The conversation dives into Ira's impressive career, from shredding with Dokken to I Am Morbid, and how he built a reputation as the guitarist bands call when they need someone to step in and deliver. The guys also explore how APOCÆLYPSE came together, the creative vision behind the project, and the process of writing and recording new music. Ira discusses the band's early momentum, shooting videos, and what fans can expect from this exciting new chapter in his career.Join the Substack for David's Megadeth stories, Metal Church updates and substack only questions for the guests at DavidEllefson.substack.com Join the Patreon for early access to episodes and Q and A's with the hosts www.patreon.com/tdesFor David Ellefson Stage Played Basses and Merch www.ellefsonemporium.comFollow David on Social Medialinktr.ee/davidellefsonFollow Joshua on Social Medialinktr.ee/talktoomeypodcast #megadeth #bassplayer #thrash #bigfour

Rashida Jones and Will McCormack are the screenwriting duo behind ‘The Invite.' It takes on the realities of marriage in middle age, told over the course of one dinner party that spirals out of control. They've been mining stories like this together for decades, finding the funny inside the painful. “We are never above a laugh. There's nothing that's grave enough for us not to laugh about, because that's how we release. That's how we process our pain,” Jones tells Tonya Mosley. Also, Lenny Kaye, Patti Smith's longtime guitarist, has his first solo album at age 79. It's called ‘Goin' Local.' He spoke with Terry Gross about his decades-long collaboration with Smith and evolving with age and experience. Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to our YouTube channel Check out the Fresh Air ArchivesSee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

What happens when an electric guitar is used to interpret music from cultures that completely ignore the Western tonal system? Guitarist Marisa Anderson dove into the depths of late filmmaker Harry Smith's record collection to find out. While Smith himself once did similar research to compile his influential Anthology of American Folk Music, Anderson was more interested in compositions and improvisations that emerged outside of her country. She felt particularly drawn to recordings from places the United States has been in conflict with for decades, which led her down the path of producing her own Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music. Transcribed in her “first language”, the electric guitar, and accompanied by soundscapes built with keyboards, the accordion, and other instruments, Anderson carefully arranged pieces from Afghanistan, Yemen, Vietnam, and more. As she bent the strings of her guitar to achieve some form of microtonality, she kept questioning the concept of being unamerican: “Who are the people we've been told in our lifetimes are “unamerican?” What have we lost or been denied access to in the fallout from that label?” Anderson brings some of her interpretations to our studio for a solo performance and explains her process. “This project changed me permanently… I'm a better listener,” she says, as she approaches each new territory with the curiosity and joy of a child in a candy store.

Author George Saunders joins Sam to talk about his new book Vigil and why people are so obsessed with turning him into a secular saint (and his childhood role of church guitarist). George explains that even though he's not on social media he still finds ways to doom scroll, how the current government could have learned empathy if they bothered to read a few books, and how he found inspiration for Vigil without sounding too preachy. They talk about the importance of “vomit drafts” and the process of revisions, how his writing approach is about minimizing his anxiety, the choice to turn on or off some of the voices in your head, early rejection from The New Yorker, and choosing not to get killed just to be a great writer. They explain how they both put their choices up against the deathbed test, and how being compassionate doesn't always mean being nice. Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.

"Apparently he left the house after I went to bed so I couldn't stop him and bring him back inside."On the afternoon of 16 October 2018, Elizabeth Herbert called the Connecticut State Police and reported her husband, 44-year-old Oli, missing. Officers responded to the property on Hydeville Pond in Stafford Springs, where they searched the grounds. Eventually, they found the body of Elizabeth's husband at the edge of the pond, laying face down in just a few inches of water.In the weeks and months to come, a bizarre story would begin to play out in the press. You see, Oli was the lead guitarist in a very successful metal band (All That Remains) and his death happened under extremely suspicious circumstances. It turns out that he had amended his will just days before his death, and had been reportedly self-medicating his undiagnosed manic depression at the time he'd died...If you have any information about this story that you'd like to share, please reach through the following methods:Connecticut State Police, Troop C: (860) 685-8230Learn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meCheck out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.
