Podcasts about Les Paul

On this episode of Talking Guitars on Johnny Beane TV, we're talking about Cheap Trick guitar legend Rick Nielsen and the incredible collection of guitars he's putting up for auction — including one of the wildest guitars ever built!

A listener in Scotland asked us for an episode about keyboard players.There was only one problem: this is a podcast hosted by two guitar players.So rather than confidently making things up for an hour, we called in Brandon Patrick of The Flannel Pajamas, a '90s-ish cover band based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.Brandon came to keyboards later in life after years as a vocalist, which gives him an interesting perspective on what it actually takes to become a functional, gigging keyboard player—not a concert pianist, not a synth wizard living inside a modular rig, but somebody who needs to learn songs, build useful tones, fit inside a band, and make it through the gig.We get into how keyboard players learn songs, sheet music versus ear training, using lead sheets and the Nashville Number System, and why playing rock and pop keys is a very different skill from being a classically trained pianist.Then we head directly into the gear rabbit hole.Brandon talks about his Yamaha YC, onboard sounds versus software instruments, organ and Leslie tones, patch building, why redundancy matters if you're relying on a computer, and why the keyboard you buy should be determined by the music you actually intend to play.We also tackle the eternal question: 61, 73, or 88 keys?Along the way, Adam and Dan attempt to explain guitars to a keyboard player, discover that a guitar is apparently six strangely tuned keyboards strapped together, and establish the definitive tonal taxonomy:A Strat goes quack.A Tele goes twang.A Les Paul goes chunk.And an SG starts an argument.If you play keys, want to play keys, lead a band with a keyboard player, or have spent years wondering what the person behind that giant red Nord is actually doing, this one's for you.Featuring Brandon Patrick of The Flannel Pajamas.Find @theflannelpajamas on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and catch them live around the Dallas–Fort Worth area!Sweetwater Affilate Link: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/xJE4rk  BACTrack Affiliate Link: https://www.bactrack.com/coverbandconfidential  MaestroDMX (10% off discount link): https://maestrodmx.com/discount/DISCOUNT4CBC?redirect=%2Fproducts%2FmaestrodmxBlank Contracts & Riders: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/performance-contractsBacking Track Resources: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/backing-track-resourcesThank you so much for tuning in!  If you want to help be sure to like, subscribe and share with your friends!  BANDLEADER RESOURCES: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/links  And for more info check out www.coverbandconfidential.com

On this episode of Talking Guitars on Johnny Beane TV, we take a look at the new Jackson Pro Series Signature Phil Collen PC1-E, a Mexican-made version of Phil Collen's legendary Superstrat-style signature guitar. The Def Leppard guitarist has been working with Jackson for nearly 40 years, and the PC1-E brings his unique combination of Strat-style design, high-powered pickups, Floyd Rose tremolo, and onboard sustainer technology to the Jackson Pro Series. Phil says the PC1-E has “all the bells and whistles” and that you can get the sounds of a Strat, Les Paul, and more from a single guitar.

When the album finally dropped, people who hadn't heard this song must have been slightly surprised to be assaulted with a howling harmonica part straight out of the traps. Almost every Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album opens with a volley of guitar. THe guitar is still there, but after Steve Ferrone's double shot on the snare, it's Scott Thurston's blues harp that draws there ear - with Mike's Les Paul doubling that line. In an interview with Sound and Vision shortly after the album came out, Tom tells Mike Mettler, “I kept handing Scott these assignments: 'Okay, I want you to play harp on this song.' It's not all that easy. So he'd gimme stuff back, and I'd say, 'Wow, I didn't know you played the harmonica that well.'” Now we know!

The members of Mastodon sit down for an incredibly honest conversation about their new album Marrow Deep. Bill, Troy, and Brann share the painful journey of making this record following the departure and subsequent death of guitarist Brent Hinds, as well as the loss of Brann's mother. They talk candidly about the documentary 'Mastodon in the Room' they created to address Brent's exit from the band, the challenges of maintaining a 25-year brotherhood, and how channeling grief into their music has become therapeutic. Following that, Eddie opens up about spending an afternoon with the country icon, Dolly Parton, when she made her rock covers album. He recounts how she declined her Rock Hall induction to make room for deserving rock artists, then created 'Rockstar' with 39 tracks featuring everyone from Steven Tyler to Sting. Eddie shares behind-the-scenes stories from their interview session in Nashville, including Slash's frantic texts and her genuine knowledge of every rock artist on the record. Kevin Cronin also chimes in to discuss duetting with Dolly on 'Keep On Loving You.' Closing the podcast, blues rock guitarist Jared James Nichols discusses his latest album Louder Than Fate. The conversation covers everything from workout routines on tour and advice from George Lynch about getting too bulked up, to collaborating with Keith Nelson, Tyler Bryant, and Tuk Smith on new material. Jared also opens up about his relationship with Gibson Guitars, including his signature Les Paul models and brand ambassador role.

Send in your music story!A great rock record does not just hit hard, it moves. We're joined by Blake, guitarist of Joyous Wolf, to talk about the band's first full-length LP In Between (out August 21) and why the album feels designed for a front-to-back listen even in a single-driven world. We dig into the story behind standout tracks like Karma and Juniper, how a “pretty” intro can become a heavy verse, and why sequencing matters when you want an emotional arc instead of a playlist of disconnected moments.Then we go deep on the gear and technique side of modern rock guitar. Blake breaks down recording versus touring rigs, speaker choices that keep low mids tight on loud stages, and the simplest solo upgrade we've heard in a long time: putting an EQ pedal in the effects loop for a dramatic, clean lift without wrecking your core tone. If you're into classic rock crunch, blues rock feel, Les Paul muscle, and practical guitar rig advice, you'll get a ton to try the next time you plug in.We also step outside the studio to talk nerd life and big questions: anime favorites, Zelda nostalgia, and a thoughtful debate about AI in music, machine learning, copyright, and what happens when tech shifts from “helpful tool” to “art replacement.” Hit play, share this with a guitarist or rock fan, and subscribe and leave a review if you want more conversations like this.Support the showPlease give us a quick rate and review.

election-night chaos in Wisconsin, missing Milwaukee election-result files, Democratic primary drama, and plenty of questions about election integrity. Plus, a heroic three-legged K-9, abortion politics, Caroline Leavitt stepping down, George Soros turns 96, Metallica’s Black Album, Les Paul, Woodstock ’94, the first IBM PC, “Ask Kimmer Anything,” Not So Rainy Day Theater, and more.

Barry Goldstein is a Grammy-winning producer who has spent the last twenty years working at the exact intersection of music, healing, and consciousness. He wrote The Secret Language of the Heart. He composes the music for Dr. Joe Dispenza's events, for Neale Donald Walsch, for Anita Moorjani, for James Van Praagh.   We spend nearly two hours going deep into all of it:   → The forgotten art of making a real playlist → Why every song carries its own energetic field that grows stronger every time it is played → The Om Shalom Home practice he teaches at medical conferences, which we do live together in the middle of the conversation → The song that came to him in a dream and became Through The Eyes Of God, which he plays live on the guitar for us → The Grammy he won with Les Paul thirty years after his father bought him a Les Paul guitar at fourteen → Group coherence in Dr. Joe Dispenza's events → Music, AI, and what he calls emotional and spiritual intelligence → The seven playlists every person should build to start becoming the conductor of their own inner symphony  

On this episode of Talking Guitars on Johnny Beane TV, we dive into Gibson's exciting announcement that the fourth Gibson Garage is coming to the Las Vegas Strip in 2027! Could this become the ultimate destination for guitar players? Forget the late-night wedding chapel—how about waking up with a Custom Shop Murphy Lab Les Paul instead?

How did we get from quiet acoustic strings in village squares to massive walls of Marshall stacks blasting at outdoor festivals?

The Jim Craine Show Title: Back on the Boardwalk: A Radio Return Filled with Atlantic City Memories Summary A Celebrated Return to Radio Jim Craine opens the program by welcoming listeners to a new Saturday-afternoon broadcast from Pleasantville Music Shop near Atlantic City. After years away from regular radio, he describes his excitement about returning to the air in his 51st year in show business. The episode establishes a relaxed, live-party atmosphere built around comedy, music, local guests, audience interaction, and classic entertainment. Craine also previews future appearances by performers and personalities including Jon Provost, Deana Martin, Frank Ferrante, and comedians from his long career in show business. Supporting the Jersey Shore Community A major theme of the episode is the importance of supporting locally owned businesses. Craine highlights Pleasantville Music Shop as a long-running, family-operated store offering instruments, school rentals, vintage guitars, pianos, drums, keyboards, and vinyl records that customers can hear before buying. He also acknowledges area restaurants, Copiers Plus, Maplewood restaurants, the Dr. Jonathan Pitney House, the Colonial Inn, Smithville businesses, and other regional sponsors. His comments frame the show as both an entertainment program and a continuing spotlight on the people, restaurants, events, and small businesses of South Jersey. Upcoming Events and Boardwalk Attractions Craine shares several upcoming entertainment and community events, including the Happy Together Tour at the Ocean City Music Pier, Lucy the Elephant's birthday celebration in Margate, and a Steel Pier alumni reunion scheduled for August 23, 2026. He invites former pier employees, performers, dancers, ushers, game workers, food-service workers, and longtime visitors to attend the reunion. He also discusses the Italian Festival in Smithville, where he and the Atlantic City All-Stars have performed for many years. These announcements reinforce the program's close connection to the boardwalk, the Jersey Shore, and Atlantic City's live-entertainment culture. Stories from a Life in Show Business Much of the broadcast is devoted to memories from Craine's decades as a singer, lifeguard, entertainer, and bandleader. He recalls working with Red Skelton, opening for Connie Stevens, appearing with Rich Little, singing at a Phillies game, and participating in a 1983 juvenile-diabetes telethon. He remembers Red Skelton signing hundreds of autographs and explaining why performers must remain gracious to their audiences. Craine also directs listeners to archival performances, interviews, concerts, and career-retrospective material available under the spelling C-R-A-I-N-E. Steel Pier and Atlantic City Entertainment History Craine offers an extended account of his years at Steel Pier from 1963 to 1973, where he worked as an usher, cared for the diving horses, operated the Diving Bell, and absorbed lessons from generations of entertainers. He remembers seeing or encountering Chicago, Jay and the Techniques, Tommy James and the Shondells, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Pat Boone, Duke Ellington, the Bee Gees, Les Paul and Mary Ford, Chet Atkins, Herman's Hermits, The Monkees, Sam Cooke, The Temptations, The Supremes, and a young Michael Jackson. He presents Steel Pier and Atlantic City as places where popular-music history, variety entertainment, boardwalk culture, and personal opportunity came together. Music, Comedy, and a Personal Farewell The episode is punctuated by musical recordings, produced announcements, audience reactions, and a series of short jokes. Craine shares performances of “Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody,” “On the Boardwalk in Atlantic City,” and “Over the Rainbow,” dedicating the closing song to mothers. He thanks his wife, Joanne, for being his partner for 35 years and invites listeners to return for future guests, calls, comedy, music, and community features. The broadcast ends as a warm introduction to the show's intended style: nostalgic but lively, rooted in Atlantic City history, and centered on enjoying the personalities and stories behind classic entertainment.

Send Steve a Text MessageI went Live on Social Media with this, so if you are interested in watching the video, here it is:https://youtube.com/live/IaBZQVuPCDI?feature=shareYour solos can have perfect timing and perfect notes and still feel lifeless. Today I go live (on my birthday, no less) to show the opposite approach: how to make guitar leads sound more authentic by adding grit on purpose. We start in A minor pentatonic and build a small set of tools you can use anywhere, from a quick scrape into the phrase to a fast slide into the blues note, followed by a snappy pull-off that screams “real” instead of “exercise.” Then we get into the bend choices that change everything. I break down a subtle “blues bend” you do right before you leave a note, plus bigger, more aggressive bends that are about emotion and delivery, not perfection. We also talk practical gear feel, including how string gauge and scale length affect bending on guitars like a Les Paul versus longer-scale instruments, so you can stop fighting your setup and start shaping phrases. The most powerful idea is learning to bend from notes outside the pentatonic back into the scale. Those “wrong” notes can sound right when you treat them as a vehicle, give them space, and commit to the tone, vibrato, and staccato attack. If you want blues rock soloing that has attitude, contrast, and voice-like phrasing, this is a deep well to practice.

Hawk Rock Talk: Rock Autopsy: Classic Rock One Hit Wonders 1It's Hawk Rock Summer, and Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock are putting on the gloves, grabbing the bone saw, and cracking open the chest cavity of Classic Rock Radio to examine one of its strangest organs: the classic rock one-hit wonder.What even counts as a one-hit wonder in classic rock? Did it have to make the Top 40? Does it count if the song barely charted, but every classic rock station played it eight times a day? Does it count if the band had other hits, but your local station decided, “No thank you, we will only be playing the one with the riff”?Jason and Geoff dig into a playlist of “that song!” bands, the groups whose names you may not know, whose albums you may never have heard, but whose one immortal track has been following you around your whole life through movie trailers, sports arenas, local classic rock stations, beer commercials, jukeboxes, and dads' cars.Along the way, Jason and Geoff discuss Christian fuzz gospel death boogie, LA spirituality, Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe's Seinfeld cup, Mungo holes, proto-metal holes, Paul Carrick's voice, Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street legacy, Tarantino soundtrack brain, Leslie West making a Les Paul look tiny, Arthur Brown as a pre-KISS theatrical freak, Argent records that Geoff keeps buying and selling, KISS's “God Gave Rock and Roll to You II,” and whether Europe should legally be required to play “The Final Countdown” three times per set.This is Part One.

KISS was well known for their image, the characters, and the merch. But behind the makeup and pyrotechnics, Ace Frehley brought the fire. Ace was the secret weapon: a Bronx-bred, unschooled guitar slinger whose wild bends, dinosaur vibrato, and pentatonic mayhem gave KISS songs their teeth. No formal lessons, just a Les Paul through a Marshall on ten, loose picking, and pure feel. He didn't just play solos—he sang through the guitar.  Episode Playlist Check out this week's ⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode Play⁠l⁠ist.⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get In Touch Check us out⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠online⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or drops us an email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠show@prisonersofrockandroll.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave us a comment! The three of us finally get into something that's been on the calendar for a while: what actually makes a good Les Paul. Zach brings out all his Les Pauls, Rhett has his R9, and Addison shows off the 2007 Studio Faded he's had since he was 15. We talk about what to listen and feel for when you're shopping — weight, acoustic resonance, how the D and G strings behave, and why the nut is almost always the reason your Les Paul won't stay in tune. Plus PAF pickup obsession, the case for unpotted pickups, top wrapping, tone woods, and why the inconsistency of Gibsons is a feature, not a bug. Hot take this week from Nicholas: flame tops and figured maple are ugly, and matching headstocks make a guitar look cheap. We're split. Rig dip goes to Matt, who spent his life working in music stores and trading his way up to a rig that might be the most expensive we've ever seen. 1964 SG, 1957 Strat, 1964 ES-335, 1952 Telecaster, two Two-Rocks, a Friedman, and a pedal board with too much gain?

Finding new musicians for your band sounds simple until your DMs turn into a crime scene.This week on Cover Band Confidential, Adam and Dan break down what actually goes into replacing a band member, filling a sub spot, or building a roster without losing your mind in the process. Adam is in the middle of this right now with Members Only as their longtime drummer transitions out of rotation, so this one is less “theoretical advice” and more “live footage from the hiring trenches.”We talk through the practical steps that make the search less painful: defining the role, being clear about the project, writing a specific audition post, asking for video early, using trusted referrals, being honest about money, filtering for availability, and auditioning people for the actual job they'll be doing.Because finding the best player is not always the same thing as finding the right player.Also in this episode: Adam recaps a Midwest family trip through Chicago, Saugatuck, South Bend, Notre Dame, Wrigleyville, and Chicago Music Exchange The emotional danger of playing an $8,000 Les Paul that unfortunately feels worth it Dan previews a trip to Utah and Las Vegas, including a possible live band karaoke meetup at The Venetian Why “clear communication” is basically the whole episode The value of asking for audition video before wasting everyone's time Why availability can matter as much as talent How to spot professional habits before someone is officially in the band Why a trial period protects both the band and the new player The terrifying concept of “musician icks” Finding band members is a slog, but you can make it less sloggy. And if you're leading the project, the goal is not just to find a player. It's to be the kind of band leader people actually want to work with.#CoverBandConfidential #CoverBandTips #WorkingMusician #BandLeader #GiggingMusician #CoverBand #LiveMusicBusiness #BandAuditions #MusicianLife #WeddingBand #CorporateBand #DrummerSearch #BandManagement #MusicPodcast #LiveBandTipscover band confidential, cover band podcast, working musician podcast, how to find musicians for a band, how to audition band members, finding a drummer, band audition tips, cover band tips, gigging musician advice, band leader advice, how to replace a band member, musician auditions, hiring musicians for a band, wedding band musicians, corporate band musicians, live band business, band management tips, how to run a cover band, professional musician habits, finding reliable musicians, musician availability, audition video for musicians, band rehearsal prep, cover band drummer, live music podcast

Mark Morton joins the show today, and we somehow manage to talk about the gravitational pull of the electric guitar, the operational realities of a world-class metal band, parenting, vintage Gibsons, noise gates, and New York pizza without anyone needing a liability waiver. Mark gets into the early magic of the guitar, back when the instrument didn't just look cool, it felt like a secret door. A wooden plank with wires, knobs, and just enough electricity to rearrange a kid's entire personality. From there, we talk about the family support that helped him chase that feeling, and how that same idea now shapes the way he supports his own kids as they find their own creative obsessions. We also dig into the less glamorous, more interesting machinery behind one of metal's most popular acts. Touring, family, business calls, merch approvals, stage production, the whole industrial riff-farm. The rock and roll fantasy is still in there somewhere, wearing sunglasses indoors, but these days it has a calendar invite and probably needs to approve a hoodie sample. And yes, there is plenty of guitar talk. Mark breaks down his move to Gibson, the creation of his signature Les Paul, his love of vintage instruments, the L.o.G writing process, and why some guitars feel alive while others just sit there like expensive furniture with strings.

On this edition of The Catered Quiz, broadcaster and comedian Greg Bach joins the show to answer questions about Pink Floyd and guitars. We also talk about Les Paul, Kyle Kinane and SCRAM. Listen to Nite Lite With Pete Schwaba and Greg Bach Monday-Friday from 5-7pm on Civic Media.

The interview with Les Paul (1915-2009) took place in April 2008, coordinated from Los Angeles, I flew to New York just to have the opportunity to speak with the Les Paul earlier in the day before his  performance that evening at the Iridium.Les typically played two shows every Monday night (8:00 PM and 10:00 PM). He performed with the Les Paul Trio, which often included Lou Pallo on guitar and Nicki Parrott on bass.His shows were famous for surprise appearances by guitar icons like Slash, Steve Miller, and Paul McCartney. Les Paul continued this Monday night tradition until his final performance on June 1, 2009, just months before he passed away in August 2009. Les Paul's accomplishments are so vast that he is often called the "Father of Modern Music". He is uniquely recognized as the only person inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Musical Inventions & Technology include, Solid-Body Electric Guitar: In 1941, he built "The Log," one of the first solid-body electric guitars, which eventually led to the iconic Gibson Les Paul model.Multitrack Recording: He pioneered the technique of recording separate tracks and layering them, effectively inventing the modern studio process.Studio Effects: He is credited with developing overdubbing (sound-on-sound), tape delay, phasing, and reverb.8-Track Tape Recorder: He commissioned the first 8-track "Octopus" recorder from Ampex, allowing for even more complex arrangements.The Paulverizer: A device attached to his guitar that allowed him to control recording and playback loops live on stage. He also achieved Chart-Topping Hits: Alongside his wife, Mary Ford, he had numerous #1 hits in the 1950s, including "How High the Moon" and "Vaya Con Dios". Les was a  virtuoso guitarist: Known for his "brassy" playing style and lightning-fast runs, he influenced generations of guitarists from Eric Clapton to Slash.  Les Paul won multiple Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award (1983) and a Technical Grammy (2001).National Medal of Arts: Awarded in 2007 by the National Endowment for the Arts for his contributions to American culture.Emmy Award: Received a Lifetime Achievement Award in Engineering in 2004.KPFK Music Director Maggie LePique interviewed then-92 year old Les Paul before his weekly performance at the Iridium Club in New York City on April 7th, 2008. On a chilly Monday afternoon before his first set, Les was in great form: what started out as a friendly conversation becomes a whirlwind overview of this legendary guitar player and inventor. From his early hard body electric guitar invention to the Les Pulverizer to his first ever multi-track recording to his blistering guitar technique, Les Paul is the original Guitar Hero. ENJOY!! Source:  https://www.les-paul.com/Source: https://lespaulverizer.com/Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

Before the Telecaster… before the Les Paul & the Strat… there was Bigsby.In this video, we take a deep dive into a 1949 Bigsby electric guitar, one of the earliest solid-body electrics ever made, and a true cornerstone in the evolution of the modern guitar. Built by Paul Bigsby, these instruments weren't mass-produced, they were individually handcrafted works of art.Bigsby guitars are incredibly rare, as he built around 27 guitars from the mid-1940s through the late 1950s. Each one was custom-made, often for top-tier players, making them some of the most elusive and historically significant electric guitars in existence.Most famously associated with Merle Travis, Bigsby's designs introduced features that would later define the electric guitar as we know it, including a solid body, a six-on-a-side headstock, and a sleek, functional aesthetic that clearly influenced Leo Fender and the birth of the Fender Telecaster.This particular instrument has its own incredible story. Created on August 7, 1949, this guitar was built by Paul specifically to be photographed for one of his early catalogs. Because of that, collectors have long referred to it as “the catalog guitar.”Even more special, the owner generously allowed me to take the instrument to my studio for a couple of hours so I could film this episode. Getting hands-on time with a guitar like this is a rare opportunity, and I'm excited to share it with you.www.truetone.comTo Support the Channel:Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/AskZachttps://ask-zac-shop.fourthwall.comTip jar:  https://paypal.me/AskZacVenmo @AskZacSupport the show

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we dive into an incredible story from Guitar Player that sheds new light on the early days of Eddie Van Halen—before the tapping, before the whammy bar, and before the world knew his name. George Lynch shares firsthand memories of witnessing Eddie in his rawest form on the Sunset Strip—back when he was playing a Les Paul through a Fender amp, delivering a blues-driven style heavily inspired by Eric Clapton. No flashy techniques. No dive bombs. Just pure, mind-blowing guitar playing. Lynch describes seeing early versions of Van Halen (and even pre-Van Halen days in Mammoth) as “mind-bending,” pushing him to practice for hours just to keep up. But what's even more fascinating? He says that version of Eddie—the stripped-down, “meat-and-potatoes” blues player—might be the most underrated and interesting era of all. The episode also uncovers a forgotten influence: Terry Kilgore of Reddi Killowatt. According to Lynch, Kilgore may have inspired some of Eddie's early ideas—and might have even been “better” at the time. It's a bold claim that adds a whole new layer to the Van Halen origin story. Plus, hear incredible behind-the-scenes stories from the Monsters of Rock Tour 1988—including how Eddie lent Lynch his own gear for half the tour, and even gave Lynch's son a private guitar lesson backstage. A true class act. If you're a fan of Van Halen, guitar history, or the evolution of Eddie Van Halen's iconic sound, this is a must-watch episode packed with rare insight, stories, and inspiration.

Guitarist Andy Reiss joins me on the show today, the last full episode of Season 9! When I first moved to Nashville, I started going to see the Time Jumpers. They are an incredible band that plays western swing and classic country every Monday at 3rd & Lindsley. For quite a few years there, the band included Vince Gill, Paul Franklin, Ranger Doug, 3 incredible fiddle players, Dawn Sears on vocals, and Andy Reiss was always there, just calmly tackling every song, no matter how fast and crazy or slow and soulful. Usually playing elegant jazz/blues/bop licks on a Les Paul, or sometimes a 335. And while it was mind-bending to see everyone doing what they do, Andy was always a high point of any show for me. He's still doing that gig, as he has for over 20 years now. Andy started out in San Francisco, and made his way to Nashville around 1980, where he got to watch and work with a number of the original Nashville A-Team. Folks like Pete Drake, Harold Bradley, Bob Moore, Ray Edenton, and Pig Robbins. People that I know of as legends - Andy was around them from day 1 after moving here. He spent a good deal of time on the road with artists like Reba McIntyre and Slim Whitman, and has played on hundreds of records for artists like Miranda Lambert, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers and Leon Russell. He is truly one of the great guitar players in town, and has a deep knowledge of music, guitars and history. I also get to enjoy him up close and personal, since he now plays in my band The Volcano Brothers as well! Be sure to go and see Andy any time you're in Nashville.Enjoy my conversation with Andy Reiss.This season is brought to you by our main sponsors Larivée Guitars, Audeze, Izotope, FabFilter, and Chase Bliss. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, Mindie sits down with Grammy Award-winning producer, composer, and author Barry Goldstein for a rich conversation about music as a tool for healing, heart coherence, creative flow, and energetic management. Barry shares his unlikely journey (from house music and hip hop in the Bronx, to winning a Grammy with Les Paul, to pioneering the use of music and sound as medicine) and offers deeply practical wisdom for entrepreneurs looking to protect their energy and bring their biggest visions into the world.Episode HighlightsFrom the Bronx to the Grammy stage — Barry grew up with a love of music planted by his mother at the piano, learned guitar in the '70s (sporting what he calls "the Jaffer," a Jewish Afro), and eventually won a Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental working alongside Les Paul, the inventor of the electric guitar.Burnout led to breakthrough — After achieving success in club music and hip hop production, Barry hit a wall. Determined to reconnect with the joy of music, he set his metronome to 60 BPM and began composing long, unstructured soundscapes, unknowingly pioneering what we now understand as heart coherence music.The science of sound and heart coherence — Barry breaks down how music at 60 BPM can synchronize your heart rate, slow your breathing, and produce smooth, orderly heart rhythms (the very definition of heart coherence) while simultaneously shifting the brain into alpha and theta waves associated with creativity and flow state.Music as energetic management — Barry reframes music not just as art or medicine, but as a tool for scheduling and protecting your energy throughout the day. He lays out a simple "three meals a day" approach: an activating song in the morning, a mid-day reset during your energy dip, and 60 BPM music in the evening to wind down and unlock insight before sleep.Creativity belongs to everyone — Barry makes the case that creativity isn't reserved for artists. Every interaction, every moment of connection, ripples outward in ways we can't always see. He encourages listeners to carve out even five minutes a day for their vision and watch momentum build.Embrace the edge — Barry's closing message to entrepreneurs on the precipice of something new: the edge is exactly where you want to be. Whether it leads to a fall or to soaring, the gift is in being there at all, alive to possibility and in motion on your HeartPath.

From Gov't Mule to the Allman Brothers Band to his prolific solo career, Warren Haynes has long been one of the busiest, hardest working guitarists in rock and jam band circles. In the deep guitar hang that follows, the famed guitarist/singer/songwriter plugs in a Les Paul and shares everything from how to approach Allman Brothers-style twin leads to how he learned to survive playing onstage with the late, great (and apparently very loud!) guitar legend Dickey Betts, to how to release multiple albums in just two years. Thank you, Warren. And thanks to GuitarPlayer.com for making this episode happen. Enjoy! — JUDE GOLD, host and creator, No Guitar Is Safe

Episode 500, baby. And we brought in Henri Cash (Starcrawler, Plague Vendor, Cash & Skye) to celebrate the only way this show knows how: by diving headfirst into glorious guitar chaos. This episode has everything. Vintage amp obsession. Touring war stories. Studio nerdery. Gretsch evangelism. Voltage drama. Tape machine romance. Mild existential crises about digital modelers. It is a full buffet of tone. Henri talks about Starcrawler being the first band to record on Les Paul's restored recording console in LA, how different venue power can totally change your rig night to night, and why speakers are secretly doing half the job while everyone argues about pedals online. Blake and Henri also get into production philosophy, why perfect takes can sound lifeless, and how mistakes are often the secret sauce that make records feel human. Along the way: Orange OR80 love, Magnatone/Vox combos, 5150 reality checks, old guitar neck magic, gear collecting vs actually playing, and why Gretsch might be the official guitar brand of beautiful weirdos. If you like guitar talk that's informed, unpretentious, and occasionally unhinged, this one is for you. Hit play for Episode 500 and come celebrate with us. Good luck, good tones, and thanks for being part of this wild ride. Follow all things Henri on his social media HERE https://www.instagram.com/henricash Support The Show And Connect!

RUNDOWN   We're celebrating the start of Year 8 of Mitch Unfiltered! Mitch checks in from Las Vegas—oddly with zero urge to gamble—while Hotshot breaks down his old roulette system and the painful bad beat that once drove him out of Vegas for years. Mitch and Hotshot geek out over the new Eddie Murphy documentary, then Mitch tells his favorite 10-seconds-of-fame story — yelling a deep-cut sketch line to Murphy at a 1985 stand-up show and getting singled out from the stage. They pivot to the Seahawks' 30–24 "no-win" win in Nashville, weighing how worried to be about letting a 30–10 lead shrink, while marveling at Jaxon Smith-Njigba's obscene pace (already breaking the single-season franchise yardage mark in 11 games) and explaining why Rams-Bucs, common opponents, and divisional records mean Seattle may need both a win over the 49ers and help from the lowly Cardinals to take the NFC West. Steve Phillips joins Mitch to unpack Seattle's near–World Series run — from Julio Rodríguez's late-season surge to the Game 7 choices that doomed the Mariners, including pulling George Kirby too early and avoiding Andrés Muñoz in the highest-leverage spot. He explains why modern analytics can mislead managers, why Aaron Judge rightfully edged Cal Raleigh for MVP despite East Coast conspiracy theories, and why extending Josh Naylor was the right call even if the back-end years sting. Brady and Jacson join Mitch to break down Seattle's 30–24 win over the Titans — a game that was far closer than it should've been against the NFL's worst roster. They dissect the defensive lapses (two long late TD drives, missed tackles, fatigue), Sam Darnold's clean but risky performance (a couple near-picks, heavy JSN dependence), and a quietly emerging run game anchored by Walker and Charbonnet. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to reset the entire college football landscape heading into rivalry week — from Washington's shot at a season-defining upset over Oregon to the seismic consequences of an eight-win finish versus nine. He breaks down the transfer-portal era attrition at programs like UCLA, the SEC's multi-team playoff math (with Alabama's "brand advantage"), and why chaos in Austin, Baton Rouge, and Oxford could reshape the playoff bracket if Lane Kiffin jumps jobs before December 3rd.   GUESTS   Steve Phillips | Former Mets GM & MLB Analyst (SiriusXM / MLB Network) Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch Turns 8 (Seasons), Vegas Without Gambling, and a Birthday Tour Through Sports, History… and Freddie Mercury 12:00 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 16:09 | Eddie Murphy, Clint, and a Nervy 8–3: Seahawks Survive Titans While JSN Flirts with 2,000 Yards 40:55 | GUEST: Steve Phillips; Steve Phillips on the Mariners' Game 7 Collapse, Cal Raleigh's MVP Near-Miss, and Seattle's Offseason Decisions 1:05:13 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Escape Tennessee, Move to 8–3, and Reveal Both Promise and Warning Signs in Nashville 1:27:51 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Rick Neuheisel on Washington–Oregon Stakes, Lane Kiffin Chaos, and a Wild Final Push Toward the Playoff 2:01:20 | Other Stuff Segment: NFL players spitting incidents (Jalen Carter, Jamar Chase, Jalen Ramsey, Boise State, massive fines for spitting), Mariners non-tender Gregory Santos after almost never pitching, questions about how MLB trade physicals get passed, Dodgers Game 7 World Series home run balls (Miguel Rojas, Will Smith) both caught by same father/son and later underperforming at auction, Lane Kiffin's reported choice between Ole Miss, LSU, and Florida with a 7-year $98M deal and $25M/year in NIL money, UW women's soccer upsets #1 Virginia 10v11, Belichick family blowup, Chris Paul announces plans to retire after the 25–26 season and reflects on a Hall of Fame point guard career, Boris Becker (age 58) welcomes baby daughter, Kevin Spacey claims to be essentially homeless and working as a lounge singer in Cyprus, Ace Frehley's famous smoking sunburst Les Paul goes up for auction, RIPs: Rodney Rogers — Wake Forest star and 12-year NBA forward, dies at 54, Jellybean Johnson — drummer for The Time, dies at 69, Randy "Junkman" Jones — Padres legend, dies after a long career in and around baseball, HEADLINEs: Airport bulge turns out to be two endangered parakeets, Interstate flasher "needed excitement", Two Texas men plot to invade a Haitian island and enslave everyone, Failed threesome leads woman to beat up her boyfriend, Study says Viagra may help with hearing loss.
