Episode 1: A Guitar Shop's Guide To...Transitions. Nate and Jeremie introduce themselves and kick off the inaugural episode with a talk about what first attracted them to the guitar and what playing music has meant to them over time.

Jeremie admits he started playing as a selfish endeavor and then goes deep on parenting and spirituality, and Nate opens up about how music has helped him to overcome insecurity. At some point, the guys finally realize that they're both just failed horn players.
