    Ariel Posen Episode #13

    This episode features Bothers Landreth guitarist Ariel Posen.  We spoke while I was in London and he in his new home of Ireland.  An extremely generous and kind person, Ariel spent a lot of time talking to me about all aspects of his approach and gear.  I hope you like it.  He is very active on Instagram and Facebook and posts new clips almost every day.  I hope you'll follow him and learn something.  Superb musician and human being.  Some clips:   Anderton's and the Captain meet Ariel   That Pedal show with Ariel   His YouTube page   Brothers Landreth Live

Just what I wanted : )

Poor sound quality

Telephone interviews with slide guitar greats. Sound quality on some of these are particularly poor.
