Whether it's playing rhythm, melody, soloing, acoustic, or electric, Susan Tedeschi is one badass guitar player. And so much so I thought it be worthy to dedicate an episode to talk about her guitar playing history. Citing a few articles and interviews Susan's given, I especially focus on her blues influences and blues roots as a young musician.
