In their final leg of the trip Smith and Beebs catch up with Gabriel Wareing. They talk about his recent move to NY, studying jazz at the Royal Conservatoire Scotland, cruise ship guitar work and his involvement with Sky TV’s Guitar Star competition. This should be the last of the dodgy audio quality episodes for a while as we resume normal podcast service and start to roll out big updates to the show. As always, thanks for listening!

2019/02/21

Beebee & Smith sit down in an empty (yet noisy!) NY coffee shop with the legendary Wayne Krantz to dig into practise, improvisation, artistry, ears and more. They discuss the background to Wayne's book 'An Improviser's OS', it's legacy and the upcoming 2nd edition/revision. Apologies for some background noise and a few jump cuts, the location based recording wasn't quite as clean as hoped! Hope you enjoy :) Wayne's Links www.waynekrantz.com Wayne On Bandcamp Show Links www.theguitarhour.com TGHP

2019/02/14

Beebee, Smith and Willson reconvene to discuss how tone can positivley and negativley affect performance and the difficulties being ‘on it’ when playing unfamiliar or rental gear. They also ponder the romantic ideal of being able to sound comfortably like oneself through any rig in any situation. We also follow up on the New York Fibenare clinic and how the events of the last few weeks have inspired the guys.

Casual check in from a sub-zero New York City. It’s post namm, pre-Fibenare clinic and Beebs, Smith and Jake huddle together on a sofa (for platonic body warmth) to chat through the namm show and the upcoming Rudy’s event. As ever, they accidentally stumble into some meaty musical areas such as time feel and counting in difficult performance environments, rhythmic subdivisions with legato and right hand picking technique. Part 1 of our New York series. We have some seriously cool stuff coming over

2019/01/25

This week is another 'experimental' episode as the guys attempt to record an episode of the show at 37'000 feet on the way to California for the namm show. Inevitably the audio is poorer than usual (although Izotope RX worked it's magic to make it listenable) and invariably this is a gear related (and gin fuelled) episode where the guys discuss the airport drama getting their axes onboard, flying as a musician in general, the upcoming namm show gear and answer questions.

Friend of the show Jake Willson returns for a reet banga! Smith and Beebs have nothing planned so they call in the big guns: Jake ‘2 L’s in Hell’ Willson. They talk about the hit musical he’s depping on ‘Hamilton’ before embarking on what is the longest intro detour the podcast has ever had. A passing comment about a movie trailer sends everyone tumbling down a discussion on ‘music films’, and how harmony and chord progressions, whilst toxic and uncool in the Top 40, routinely set the box office

In the first guest episode of 2019 the boys get their January Blues on with the outstanding blues guitarist, Seth Rosenbloom. They talk about Seth’s career so far, working with Josh Smith, and his upcoming album Keep On Turning. Then it's off the deep end exploring improvised music in the studio, how much is sketched out vs totally free, song writing in the blues, and the impossible task of innovating yet simultaneously pleasing blues traditionalists. They also talk about social media, community

Following a hot potato of a Jazz article written by Ethan Iverson Dan, Beebs and friend of the show Tom Quayle sit down aroudn the microphones to have a good old jazz rant.... ahem... discussion. They discuss the idea of recieved wisdom, how to develop an understanding of jazz harmony and improvisation and equally how to pass the information on. Of course there is a little bit of a rant about elitism in there for good mix. Enjoy! Show Links Original Article

This week Smith and Beebee sit in the virtual arm chairs with UK modern jazz monster Ant Law, for one of the most banterful episodes yet. They discuss Ant’s career, new album ‘Life I Know’, and his experience studying at Berklee. The guys trade Beat It Solo horror stories and of course, Ant’s unorthodox 4ths tuning (yes different to TQ!) results in Beebs dragging up THE question...

TL:DL - Hardcore Harmony Reflections. Dan handles something terrible and has a fancy new purple helmet. Beebee busts his string and stomps on a model. Tom buys a house and also a graphics card lit enough to power Pixar productions. Together however, the guys combine to reflect on the difficulties of politely & robustly discussing ideas in public. Tom then takes us even deeper down the theory hole for another massive episode discussing the organisation of jazz harmony both in the mind and on the

This week Beebs, Smith and Quayle welcome back YouTube jazz educator Jens Larsen to discuss their approaches to harmonic analysis, chord scale theory and tonal centres. This episode is not a lesson, much more of a discussion of ideas and gets pretty heavy into the weeds with the considerations of jazz harmony - but we know you guys love this deep nerd stuff! So grab yourselves a massive coffee, a chart for the standard There Will Never Be Another You (if you want to follow along with some of the

Ben grew up in Melbourne Australia but moved to New York to study jazz and as a result has become a household name in the New York jazz scene. We chat about his move from down under to the US and the educational differences, about his upcoming album and its current kickstarter crowdfunding project as well as discussing how to find your voice in modern jazz versus walking the traditional path to obtaining jazz

Funk, jazz, rock, (baritone even!) you name it Mark pulls from a diverse range of influences, bringing his own unique voice on the instrument to grammy award winning super group Snarky Puppy, a whole host of session credits and of course his fantastic solo albums. Mark's also a lovely chap to boot and the guys had a great time chewing the six string fat for an hour or so. They get into the weeds about writing, working out parts,

Beebs candidly shares his experience of the last several years dealing with depression and anxiety and how it relates to his musical history and guitar playing. He also reflects on how he met and got involved with TGH boys, falling back in love with guitar and how after strongly resisting for 13 years, he finally caught the jazz bug. They also talk
