    Welcome to GUITAR SMARTS! - Guitar Smarts #1

    Love Guitar Smarts and want to get in touch with us? Send us a Text HERE! Welcome to episode #1 of the Guitar Smarts Podcast. On our first ever podcast, we are talking about our love for a bargain! Everyone covets the most desirable pieces of gear but one thing that we have both learned over the years is that 'inexpensive' equipment really does have a place in the gigging guitarist's arsenal. Join us as we discuss our favourite bargain buys.   What do you have in your kit that was a bargain and how do you use it? What are your thoughts on affordable equipment in the professional and semi-pro gigging world?  Reach out to us at our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Guitarsmarts And follow us on Instagram too https://www.instagram.com/guitar_smarts/ Have a safe and healthy week!  Kiran & Matt Want some fantastic Guitar Smarts Merch?
