Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined by not one but two very special guests for Episode 536 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Roundtable of Chief Guitar Officers with Scott Heydt and Judd Silver  Scott and Judd have been friends for many years and after both had spent a lot of time working in the music industry they came together to create a show - the Chief Guitar Officer podcast. What on earth possessed them to do that? Madness I say! They have fantastic stories to tell and a great perspective on the music industry and we think you will absolutely love this episode.The conversation continues into a look at the state of printed and online guitar magazines and the future of music publishing and advertising. This turns into a discussion about Scott's past with Gary Vaynerchuk, and an unusual coincidence that brought all the guys together. This is quite the origin story with at least one common thread - the guitar. David Gilmour may also get a mention.The interviewers become the interviewed as Judd and Scott ask Richard and Blake about how their love of the guitar properly started and we go deep with some psychology that resonates with everyone. Richard turns the tables and we hear about Scott and Judd's early influences before talking about which guitar is the best - Stratocaster or Telecaster...Egon Spengler, VHS, Crushing It, Rockonteurs, Jim Irsay, Alexi Lalas, Fender Custom Shop...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Course, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 530 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Brian checks in with uncle Brad and is this the ultimate portable practice rig?   Brian is in cowboy mode and Blake tells us about his cattle rustling days. Brian tells us about how someone he know likes to try and wrestle sedentary bovine creatures - yes you read that correct. Richard is suspicious. Richard also has views about the new David Gilmour Album, Luck and Strange, and he can't wait to tell us. Brian is not thrilled. But it leads onto an interesting conversation about acrobatics vs feel in guitar playing. There was other big news in the music world with the re-emergence of Linkin Park and the guys have a lot of views about this - especially Blake who grew up on their music - and it spins into an interesting and candid conversation about music in general. Somehow the Doors are involved too. The Wampler Tumnus got a little acclaim in a publication and the guys debate this and the mechanics of commercial songwriting.Richard has tales of woe and, err, stagnant Guinness and regales us with his germ ridden views and does not invent anything at all. Brian takes an important call from a certain legend of the guitar and goes to an intimate concert and eats world beating hot fudge cake. Finally there is some massive gear news - and Richard is excited.
