Angela Petrilli is a professional guitarist from Los Angeles, Ca. I met Angela at Winter NAMM in January. Before that I had seen her segment “Petrilli Picks” on the Norman’s Rare Guitars YouTube Channel. I really enjoyed speaking with her in this episode about  how she got started in music, her influences, songwriting, her favorite guitar and more.  As always, e-mail comments and show ideas to jack@jackbarksdale.com.
