SPECIAL EPISODE!

Today we discuss:

  • Pedestrian weather? But for real...this heat wave is insane.
  • Ice core samples? I swear we talk about guitars.
  • Richard did not know that Queen did the Highlander soundtrack.

Who inspired you to pick up the guitar for the first time? It may seem like a simple answer, but if you really think about it...your influences on guitar may run deeper than you think.

Every generation has a different answer. You may prefer guitarists from the 70s or 80s if you are older. Every generation has a new guitar hero.

But what matters to you? Does virtuosity and technical guitar inspire you? People like Steve Vai or the guys in Polyphia seem to be obvious answers for a lot of guitarists.

 But rhythm and soul go a long way as well. People like Josh Homme and Jack White are great guitar influences as well.

Who is your favorite guitarist, and who inspired you to pick up the guitar and start playing? It may seem like an obvious answer,
deceptively so!
