Pandemic Guitar Podcast

Weird Al Yankovic is scheduled to come to town next year, but we aren’t going to be able to go. No one is more upset than Amanda, but Tim and Rick wouldn’t have minded a good concert either. Concert ticket prices are getting higher than ever and some companies are out there helping that drive. Rick shows off his new guitar and gives a sneak peak at what the “60 second song” could be.

Tim has been listening to some music with a classical undertone and has decided to learn bits and pieces. Unfortunately, his sausage fingers have been giving him some trouble. Rick offers up an easy little exercise to help get your hand noodles in shape. Rick, Tim, and Amanda talk briefly about a few artists they may or may not know that produce some finger picking good tunes and Amanda is back with some Music News.

In this episode, Tim, Rick, and Amanda get together to catch up on the status of a few guitar projects that Rick and Tim are working on.

You’ve been waiting for the Wheel of Musicians to land on Greta Van Fleet, and the time has arrived. Tim gives a little history of the band, talks about his experience at the Greta Van Fleet concert at the Iowa State Fair and provides a little experience with Loop Earplugs.

The Pandemic Guitar Podcast celebrates their two year anniversary by bringing on one of their favorite listeners and contributors back to the microphone to guest host this episode. You may remember Jon from an earlier episode of Guitar-pody. Jon brings a series of questions to the table that allows the listener a way to get to know the hosts of your favorite guitar and music related podcast a little better.

In this episode we talk about American Guitar Manufacturers, patriotic looking guitars, our 4th of July playlists and much more. We don’t always agree, but when we do, Amanda hacks into our computers and alters our show notes.

We’ve hit one hell of a milestone in the world of podcasting. That’s right, The Pandemic Guitar Podcast has released their 50th Episode. Amanda wanted it to be special and may have been disappointed, but for the first time you can now watch us on Youtube. Just search for “Pandemic Guitar Podcast”, hit the subscribe button and watch what comes next.

Rick gives us a brief story of the legendary artist Stevie Ray Vaughn (SRV). Tim most likely gets his artists confused. Amanda holds the episode together as we gear up for a special Episode 50.

Tim, Rick, and Amanda talk about some of your favorite retail stores and their Memorial Day Sales. Amanda asks the question, “How good are those sales”? Tim just doesn’t want to pay sales tax when he shops. Military history and more.

We’re back with a little YouTube Update. Rick is so good that YouTube has flagged us for Copyright. The Trio discuss the topic of who is the Mother of Guitar for this Mother’s Day. Rick can’t believe he’s that good. Tim had an experience of a lifetime at a recent show. It’s a rant towards the end and that venue will not be getting much love for the hosts of the Pandemic Guitar Podcast in the future.

This episode is all about the simple question: Is Smashing Your Guitar Even Cool Anymore? Inspired by a recent article that Tim read, Amanda and Rick help to dig a little deeper into where it all began. Of course they are going to provide their two cents that may, or may not get lost in the squirrel cage of conversations.

Sometimes the best line in the episode is what becomes the title. Rick, Tim, and Amanda have a lot of new things. The three talk about their favorite guitar riffs and iconic guitar songs before wrapping up with some music history.

For the month of March we continue our tribute to Great Female Guitarists (and Musicians). We also have some fun with AI made music and have a quick discussion about a new song by an artist who may be crossing genres but still sells music like she’s some rappers girlfriend.

This month is all about Female Guitarists. Tim, Rick, and Amanda mention artists like Carolyn Wonderland, Shannon Turfman, Memphis Minnie, Laurel, Jennifer Batten, and a few others. These artists wish Amanda and Tim would’ve started playing at a much younger age.

Last episode the wheel landed on BB King. This episode your favorite family pandemic guitar podcast looks back on a brief history of the late legend. There’s the usual banter and good laughs. Hope you enjoy.

Tim, Rick, and Amanda talk about their favorite things they found over the internet that makes them excited. They weren’t there so… There might have been some even cooler stuff, but we don’t know, maybe next year.
