Customer Reviews
This podcast really kicks it in the sun!
How did you possibly know I needed this podcast?
I always knew that Dug’s sound designs were devastatingly beautiful and disarming, but it’s a real treat to hear WHY they impact me so much from a music theory perspective.
The interviews are very well done with the interviewer asking great questions and then getting out of the way to let the answer flow. Keep up the great work brother!
Perfect (from now on)
I'm going to predict that this won't become one of the most popular podcasts of all time, but as for me (a big Built to Spill Fan, and a guitarist who plays a few BTS songs, and who is also interested in music theory) this is a fascinating find. Seriously - guitar music theory thoughfully applied to Built to Spill (instead of the usual classic rock tunes) plus tablature - nice.
