2018 ACM Guitar Player of the Year, Rob McNelley joins me on today's show! Rob has played on just about every major release out of Nashville that you can name. To say his resume is impressive would be a gross understatement.

He also happens to be a super nice guy, and a pleasure to talk to about everything from music, guitars, gear to life in general. This was a fantastic conversation, and I can't wait to cross paths with him again.

Bobby Keller from Florida metal band, Meka Nism joins me on this episode to talk all things gear, guitars, relationships with ESP, EMG and coordinating your shoes with your guitar. Technical issues aside, this was the most fun I've had recording an episode. Period.

Hot off his new release, 'Bittern Lake', Les Stroud (Survivorman) took some time out of his crazy schedule to talk to us about his other love besides nature, music.

We go hard in the paint with Breaking Benjamin front man, Benjamin Burnley about his new LTD signature guitar as well as a deep dive into his Fractal Audio rig that he currently has on the road with him.

This was a quick one, but a great one! Ben was incredibly nice with his time, and I hope to catch up with him again down the road.

Go pick up his new album 'Ember', it's soul-crushingly heavy in the guitar parts!

Enjoy!
