I Heart Guitar

This episode kicks off with a quick demo of my Seymour Duncan Magnetar humbuckers in my Kiesel Vader guitar. Then we've got Dweezil Zappa, Trivium's Matt Heafy and 10 Years' Brian Vodinh.

Dweezil talks about his forthcoming Australian/New Zealand tour, that really cool clean sound on Frank Zappa's 'Any Kind Of Pain,' and more. Go to dweezilzappa.com for the latest tour dates. 


Trivium's new album The Sin And The Sentence is insanely good. Produced by Josh Wilbur and released via Roadrunner Records, it's a new evolution in Trivium's sound. And yes, Matt is screaming again. Visit trivium.org for more info.


The new 10 Years album (How to Live) As Ghosts is a rebirth of the band right at a time when it looked like they were going to part ways. But after a line-up change they've stepped up with an awesome new album. Check 'em out at 10yearsmusic.com.

Welcome to Episode 2 of the I Heart Guitar Podcast! This week I’m chatting with St. Vincent, Richie Kotzen, Dan Auerbach and Walter Trout. 

St Vincent’s new album Masseduction is out now. This interview was from NAMM in January this year and we were talking about her Ernie Ball guitar, which you can now also get in a Sterling By Music Man model. 

The Richie Kotzen interview was done before his recent Australian tour (but I edited out the bits where we talked about the tour so as to not be confusing). His new album is called Salting Earth and it’s killer.

Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys recently released his second solo album, Waiting On A Song, and it sounds undeniably fun and full of groove. Check it out! 

Walter Trout’s new album is We're All In This Together. This record is loaded with guests - Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Sonny Landreth, Charlie Musselwhite, Robben Ford, Warren Haynes, Eric Gales, Edgar Winter, John Mayall and Joe Bonamassa - but Walter is the real star.
