Johnny Hiland - Part Two

In this podcast, we will discuss Tone, how to achieve the tone of your dreams, and what the pros are doing to get the signature sounds that we all love and admire. We will talk music as well as explore the relationship between your instrument and the rest of your equipment, such as guitars, amps, pedals, and more. So be ready for some great stories, lots of information, and cool interviews. 

We will explore music in general, artists/bands, and their music. In each episode I will introduce my favorite new artist of the week. This will also be an excellent platform for unsigned artists to showcase their original music without the blocks, headaches, and walls imposed by radio stations and labels. If I like it, I’ll play it, no questions asked. I am all for the music and helping as much as I can.

So sit down, relax, and get ready for fun listening.
