We’re having fun with our 2nd Christmas themed show. The banter, laughs, and Griswold trivia is high as Tim, Rick, and Amanda come back to the microphones for another fun filled episode. This is the last episode of 2023. The trio will be back in 2024 for another year of fun. Enjoy your holidays!
Tim, Rick and Amanda are back to talk about the 1986 movie, “Crossroads”. A movie about a young Bluesman who won a karate championship two years prior has learned to play the guitar in a classical manor achieving himself a full scholarship to Juilliard. That’s one hell of an achievement, but the devil has got a surprise. Oh and our audio is jacked up and sounds like we recorded right after the movies release party.
Thank you for tuning in to the Pandemic Guitar Podcasts Thanksgiving Episode. Tim, Rick, and Amanda create a top 10 Thanksgiving Song Playlist, talk about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and so much more.

Amanda is back to safe the podcast in this spooky episode of The Pandemic Guitar Podcast! Tim, Rick and Amanda talk about some holiday tech and how it can be incorporated into music before breaking down a few songs that speak Halloween to us. Pure non-radio gold happens when Tim realizes no one is hearing the spooky drops and points it out before dropping the music history hit!
Rick and Tim take some time to talk about all the new things that have been happening lately. Maybe too much time. It’s all good. Rick continues his journey of bringing the more unpopular guitars into the spotlight. Enjoy!
Rick and Tim are back. Amanda is out treating her sugar daddy on his birthday. Rick decides to bring Baritone Guitars into the spotlight. It’s a great insight to a lesser known guitar and style of playing. The duo obviously want to get a baritone guitar but can’t keep focus as this episode is loaded with tons of great conversation.

Can you believe it! We have officially started our 2nd year here at the Pandemic Guitar Podcast. Tim, Rick and Amanda discuss all sorts of housekeeping.

They answer some listener questions and provide you with some Music News. There might be some new swag in the making as well.
Tim is stuck in a learning rut and asks the local pro how to get over that hump. The trio talk about the pandemic jingle, tempo & key, how to get out of that rut, pandemic swag, cigar box guitars, and so much more.
Amanda’s final pick on the rigged “Wheel of Musicians” mini series is finally here. It’s an episode about “Weird Al” Yankovic and the laughs that he has provided us over the years. We kept this episode pretty raw (or weird). It just depends on how you look at it.

If Korn and Slipknot ever play together, they’ll need some gig bags and cases to travel with. What if Eric Clapton wore a bucket on his head? Ghost is just theatrics. Are mask s really cool? Tim got a counter top ice maker and we have too many Street Puddle stickers…. These could be our lyrics. Would you be a fan?
