Episodes
Beebs and Dan jam in meat space for the first time in a while.
The lads pour 1 out for the beloved magazine of their yoot.
Tom's (briefly) back from the Laney tour, time for a big old catch up.
Beebs and Dan rope John Nathan Cordy back on whilst the Doc and TQ are away. Big shoes to fill, but he's now a Dad, and Johnny big chewbs since last time he was on. Can he get through the first 60 seconds without an R Kelly joke? This may have been a bad idea. Oh dear. Topics include the big guns (Fender, Gibson, Suhr) returning to the NAMM show for 2025, checking in with Cordy's youtube success/workflow and all the hullalballoo ar...
Dan has nightmare pitch shifting gig. Beebs is on location, still with very confused feelings for NDSP. Jake has secrets. Tom is still on tour. We're dangerously close back to 1 a week....shhhh don't jinx it.
Catching up, Oasis reunion, Beebs' Quad Cortex experiement, Dan asks us what you got in the tank? We're doing this live on youtube from now on, and the audio will be posted up to the podfeed rough and raw. We really miss hanigng out and talking guitar nonsense, so we figured it's better this than waiting for perfect schedules and edits and it never happening.
Audio of the all star quiz that slipped through the net before our hiatus. Just catchin up on lost episodes before we re-start.
Featuring, Beebs, TQ, Jake, Smith, Jens Larsen, Rhett Shull, John Nathan Cordy, Jack Gardiner, James Davies, Joseph Anidjar.
What is this?! 2 weeks in a row? Yes indeed, and more ranting! Like tag wrestling the doc is out and Dan Smith is in. Let's rumble.
Beebs, Jake and Tom catch up on whats been happening over the summer. Tours, new skills, new releases, the podcast now has it's own custom comedy overdrive/delay pedal - THE TIME HORSE! Also, there's a big rant about the Rolling Stone 250 GOAT Guitarists List.
Hi Guys, sincerest apologies that it's been a while. Some of the chat might be 'out of date' somewhat but it's our takes on the goings on at the time. I hope you enjoy as we dive into Jake's all star Jeff Beck tribute gig and everything that came with it. Including the the gear used... which led us into a big ol' chat about guitar modellers, the Neural Amp Modeller and a little bit about the Bad Monkey saga towards the end. As alwa...
Jake is on a show so the Beebs, Smith, Qualye power pod trio is back. After some meandering intro bants the boys discuss the release of friend of the show Martin Miller's new album, the recent Marshall deal with Swedish company Zzound and go down a rose tinted nostalgia worm hole about retro gear we had in the 90's. Enjoy!
Back together finally to discuss THAT crazy Nuno Bettencourt solo from the new Extreme track. The guys also chat through what would be the end game boss level difficulty guitar solos to replicate.
Ever young vampire Dan has double booked, so the oldies (Beebs, Tom and the Doctor) sit around to complain about ageing, failing bodies and how bad posture may or may not be getting in the way of guitar playing. On a positive note there are some interesting things discovered along the way. The extended Patreon edit includes (amongst other things) a detour into halloween horror movie recommendations.
A 2-parter episode. First of all the lads welcome back Ant Law for a debrief on the Tom Quayle, Ant Law Jake Willson Ibanez/Guitar Guitar Jazz Trio clinic tour they recently completed. On side B, the guys discuss the recent Strymon BigSky Plug-in release and debate the nature of guitar related plug-ins more generally.
Do you Boomatonic bruv?! Longtime friend of the show and all round six string legend, Jack Gardiner returns to chew the fat and catch us up with all going on with his guitar life AND what the guitar student Yoots aparently think about our fav 5 note scales! lol No Tom this week, Jake and Dan are in contorl with a remote Beebs briefly chiming in from Portland Oregon.
Tom's playing country, Beebs has started choobing and Dan doesn't know where Epsom is. Look what happens when the Dr isn't here!
The lads dust off the rust for a big catchup and (fingers crossed) a proper return to podding.

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
