    My First STRATOCASTER w/ Joe Branton of Guitar Nerds

    On this episode of The Tone Mob Podcast, I am reunited with Joe Branton of Guitar Nerds for a lively discussion about our latest guitar and bass acquisitions, the nuances of said purchases, and the cultural significance of Fender and Gibson guitars. We also explore the resurgence of 70s guitars, the evolution of modern gear, and the intricacies of using wah pedals. This is the most GUITAR GEAR focused (yet rambling) chat of the Tone Mob in quite some time, so I'm sure you will get a kick out of it. Topics Include: My first Strat is PERFECT! (almost) The 70s guitar aesthetic is making a comeback. Modern gear trends often prioritize portability over sound. Wah pedals can be used creatively beyond traditional methods. (How?) The importance of personal connections in the gear community. Vintage instruments often come with maintenance challenges. (Duh) Exploring different tones can lead to unexpected discoveries. The evolution of guitar culture and how it reflects broader musical trends. Check out Guitar Nerds wherever you get your podcasts! https://www.guitarnerds.net/podcast Support The Show And Connect!

    Guitar Wisdom w/ Tomo Fujita

    Don't worry. Don't compare. Don't expect too fast. Be kind to yourself. These are just a few of bits of "Guitar Wisdom" that Berklee College of Music Instructor Tomo Fujita has been known for. Between his classes at the famous college, and his own online lesson platform, Tomo has helped literally thousands of people not only be able to better express themselves on their guitars, but he's also been a huge inspiration for some of the most popular guitarists of our generation. (John Mayer anyone?) In this episode of the Tone Mob Podcast, we discuss Tomo's journey into music, his teaching philosophy, and the importance of diverse income streams for musicians. Tomo shares insights on how guitar can be a tool for personal development and the challenges faced in music education. The conversation also touches on the impact of technology on learning guitar, advice for aspiring musicians, and Tomo's approach to achieving clean tones. Here are some highlights from this episode: Toma's passion for guitar is evident in his daily life. Diverse income streams are essential for a sustainable music career. Teaching is not just about the material, but understanding the student. Listening to entire albums can deepen musical understanding. It's important to create your own opportunities in the music industry. Being kind to oneself is crucial in the learning process. Asking questions is key to overcoming challenges. The foundation of good music is like a good cheese pizza.
