It’s the final episode of 2022 and we couldn’t be happier! Rick and Tim talk about all the wonderful coal they found in their stockings. It’s the Pandemic Guitar Christmas Aftermath Show, or as we like to call it… Ah Bah Humbucker! Happy Holidays, Happy New Years! We’ll see you in 2023.
Rick, Tim, and Amanda are back in Episode 10 talking about the perfect gifts to get the guitarists in your life like a trio of squirrels trying find food. Hopefully you get some ideas for your guitar playing relative, friend, or significant other. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you the listener!
We’ve spent a few episodes quickly going over Pandemic Guitar’s Project Guitar #1. It just made sense to make an episode that spends a little bit more time on each part of the process. Before we get into it, we talk about the recent Tay-Tay Ticket scandal and other recent music news.
Rick and Tim attended the Joe Bonamassa concert at the Civic Center in Des Moines, IA on November 13th, 2022. It was a concert that both had been impatiently waiting for. This episode is all about the recap of that show. Five stars, highly recommend! If Joe Bonamassa is coming to your town it would be worth checking out. Don’t forget your hearing protection. This concert was loud but amazing!
Sometimes an episode flows well enough that it just names itself as you will find out. Who’s on your Mt. Rushmore of guitar greats? Tim, Rick and Amanda discuss this as it is our first ever Instagram listener question. Tim tries to find great songs to learn guitar techniques and Rick wields his knowledge of playing. There’s a lot to learn in episode 07 brought to you by the letter G!
Every once in a while Pandemic Guitar Podcast will release an episode that tries to answer a legendary question and ultimately leave it unanswered thus producing a new volume of “Unsolved Questions”. Volume 1 attempts to answer the age old question of how many guitars is to many to own. Is there a perfect number? We still don’t know. We apologize for the audio issues in this episode. We discovered a few issues after the fact and decided to work with what we had instead of trying to re-record. We have implemented steps to help reduce these issues from happening again.

While surfing the internet Tim is always watching videos about guitars. Along the way he notices that there are a lot of guitarists comparing the difference between cheap and expensive guitars. This strikes the primary topic for episode three. Tim and Rick also announce the beginning of a series called, “Project Guitar”.

While Tim was editing episode 1, Rick mentioned something about portable recording that peaked his interest. This inspires an entire episode on what it takes to sit in your Lazy Boy (not sponsored) and record some great licks. There’s a lot of unnecessary name dropping involved but that’s what you need if you want to relax and record outside of your home studio. WHAT IS AN AMP SIMULATOR? An amp simulator simply emulates the sound of a guitar amplifier with digital technology using a Windows : VST2 or Mac : VST2, AU. They usually come as plugins. Sims will vary between manufacturer, but each one is designed try to give you an authentic guitar tone without the need for a ‘real’ amp.
