74: Conflicting Vaideologies And The Modes Revisited Apr 18, 2019

Show notes

This week the boys are back with a an emotionally charged and confusing discussion about a particular section in Steve Vai's long awaiting music theory book for guitar titled 'Vaideology'. They go back into the misty modal mines and talk modes and modal chord progressions as well as delving into some classic guitar magazines for the early 90s. This could get controversial...

73: YouTube Copyright Madness & Dep Sub Gig Culture Apr 11, 2019

Show notes

YouTube are enforcing some pretty awful (and sketchy) copyright restrictions on big guitar and music channels. The guys chat this over, and muse on what a good thing it is that there's no 'YouTube' for podcasts…..yet.

Deep dive topic this week is all about depping (subbing for our American friends). The culture, etiqutte, skillset, and various pro's and cons.

Show notes

With the boys still trying to put their mind holes back together after the last inspiring visit from Andy Wood, he returns and this time brings with his his good buddy and partner in crime 'Uncle' Ben Eller. After a rowdy catch up and a thorough southern hazing from both barrels of the wily Knoxvillians the two git slingers take us through Andy's most recent guitar instrumental album 'Junktown'.
