In this podcast I sit down with Jerry Cherry- guitarist, singer/songwriter, and guitar instructor extraordinaire.
We talk about his guitar journey beginning at age 12 and how was super fortunate to be a member of an incredible band before he could drive and how that set the stage for the rest of his musical career.
Key takeaways:
At age 17, being one guitar lesson short of really starting to understand musical theory and playing for another 25 years before the next lesson made it all click.
What struck me the most about Jerry's career is that he's a perpetual student. In some ways that's not necessarily profound, and frankly it's the way each of us should be in life. At the same time, however, how many of us can truly say that?

This episode is a little longer, but it's a beautiful conversation with so much goodness I had to publish the entire thing. This inspiring journey is a must listen no matter your skill level, from bedroom players to professional guitarists.
Jerry goes live every Sunday at 12pm EST on his YouTube channel and just introduced a new YT program called, "What's The Hook?", where he explores and breaks down the hooks of your favorite songs.
