    176: Jake's Jeff Beck Gig & Future of Modelling

    Hi Guys, sincerest apologies that it's been a while. Some of the chat might be 'out of date' somewhat but it's our takes on the goings on at the time. I hope you enjoy as we dive into Jake's all star Jeff Beck tribute gig and everything that came with it. Including the the gear used... which led us into a big ol' chat about guitar modellers, the Neural Amp Modeller and a little bit about the Bad Monkey saga towards the end. As always thanks for listening and for all the support. Catch you on the next one!

After some meandering intro bants the boys discuss the release of friend of the show Martin Miller's new album, the recent Marshall deal with Swedish company Zzound and go down a rose tinted nostalgia worm hole about retro gear we had in the 90's. Enjoy!

    Posture, Physical Health & Guitar Tekkers

    Posture, Physical Health & Guitar Tekkers

    Ever young vampire Dan has double booked, so the oldies (Beebs, Tom and the Doctor) sit around to complain about ageing, failing bodies and how bad posture may or may not be getting in the way of guitar playing. On a positive note there are some interesting things discovered along the way. The extended Patreon edit includes (amongst other things) a detour into halloween horror movie recommendations.

The Best Guitar Podcast!

These guys really kept me company throughout the pandemic, unearthing loads of their interviews with amazing guests.

Excellent education and discussion with top banter!

Geeking out about Guitar until my head explodes

Really really enjoy this podcast. I’ve watched/listened to podcast since the beginning.
To be honest a lot of the theory does go over my head but they have candid conversations and not afraid to disagree which is refreshing.
All the guests are awesome and ask all the right questions. They have no shame in geeking out. Love it

Fantastic resource for guitarists

Fantastic podcast with extremely talented and knowledgable musicians. Really enjoy listening to the guys talking about their lives as professional musicians. Find myself relating to a lot of the discussion topics. Keep up the good work guys.
