Enjoy the costumes while Rick, Tim, and Amanda talk about “promotional fees” tacked on to your “gear card” purchases, a local experience at the “new and improved” guitar box store, and how Musicians need to shut up and play while keeping their political view...

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.

They don’t have to cost a whole lot of money to be good. They also talk about the difficulties of podcasting. Tim realizes that there is more to our podcast than most deal with. Instead of paying a monthly fee for another company to host the RSS feed, he does it interna...

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.

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.
