Customer Reviews
Come back!
You guys are awesome! Can we please have more episodes??
Fun yet informative
Really educational while being entertaining! These guys “just work” with their back and forth dialog and clever insight. Great to hear about new music to explore from a couple fun and clearly knowledgeable people who seem to really enjoy what they do.
Not worth my time
I am an advanced player but always hungry to learn. So listened to 3 of these hoping to pick up some useful info on improving my playing. I walked away with nothing. The impression I got was just 2 guys who really love themselves taking about their fav solo or fav guitar or gear or a great player. Not much on how to get better. I gave it a fair amount of time: 3 entire episodes. This just dulled my axe playing. They should change the title to something like “Rambling Guitar Talk”.
