This week the boys sit down with Levi Clay to chat about his work as a professional transcriber, and also continue the CAGED discussion. They attempt to find the differences and similarities between CAGED and the root note/geometric interval mapping as used by Quayle, Beebs and (for the most part) Smith.

This has unintentionally become part II of an epic trilogy on CAGED and fretboard visualisation. Although Beebs can't promise this is last time he will utter FV.....it does conclude next week with another super special guest!

It'll be like Return of the Jedi but less Ewoks and more music theory.

Also they do a news.. Fender are advertising with citywide blockbuster movie billboards?! Whaaa?

Another early morning podcast recording the the boys. So much so that we discuss time management and the plate spinning of being a self employed guitarist working in multiple fields. There's a deep dive into the pros and cons of the CAGED system, a brief trip to greggs and some talk of playing mindset and what works for the individual.

Tom, Smith and Beebs follow up some of the points raised in Andy Wood episode with a deep (and at times very personal) discussion about what makes an artist today. Oh yea..and the problems of male moose knuckle.

Beebs & Smith break their rule again and briefly talk about gear before Beebs shares a specific legato technique problem accidentally discovered since the Everest break.

This weeks trip down the rabbit hole is all about deciding what to practice and developing those squishy creative skills like aural, phrasing and writing etc and how to nurture them in ourselves and others.

Beebs does not die during this episode!

This week the guys experiment recording whilst on instagram live. What could possibly go wrong?!

Content wise, they finally make sense of the podcast numbering system, Dan has a new axe on the way whilst Beebs is shaking virtual maracas dressed as Batman.

In other news they talk about how to play with a piano player in a duo/trio situation, re-imagining tunes you've played a million times, old vs new vocab and just what/how should we approach it.

Finally they take some live questions and try to put music theory in some kind of order to learn! Things are a little shorter than usual as Beebs had to nip-n-tuck to save the edit ;O

With a very hairy Beebs returning from Mt. Everest the guys talk about taking a break from playing guitar. Can it be a useful thing to get space, recharge ideas and rebuild enthusiam?

Things then turn to practising through the basics of a Jazz Standard, before Dan reads out a very strange Facebook 'guitarist wanted' ad that has him all triggered.

Hi Guys. Dan here truly wearing the Daddy pants as Beebee is finishing up his mountain retreat but the team will reunited next week. This week however I invited my good friend Mr. Danny Short on the show. I have depped for Danny on a couple of shows recently and wanted to get him on to talk about his work as a reading guitarist in London on the west end as well as other things. Its a really insightful chat about the work ethic and world of a reading guitarist today so I hope you enjoy it.

After the excitement of the Michael Dolce interview just minutes before, and the looming departure of Beebee's mountain holiday... Dan and Beebee meander through some loose ends and talk about Beebee's new guitar, Dan's experience depping on Dusty Springfield The Musical and how to gain experience for those kind of situations. The boys also discuss whether you should work for free, going professional as a guitarist and the balancing act that comes with it as well Dan overhearing some horn players discussing their stylistic work ethics.

Dan and Beebs sit down (remotely) with Aussie guitarist Michael Dolce to talk all things guitar. Michael is an incredible tasy and melodic player with various guitar projects in the works. Perhaps most notably playing guitar in the band for The Voice Austrailia. We pick his brains about what it's like working in that high pressure world as wel as maintaining his own original music and improvisational skills. Disclaimer - Beebs is away at the time of editing and the resonsibility has fallen upon the manc shoulders of Dan. He has one job. See podcast intro for full story...
