Love Guitar Smarts and want to get in touch with us? Send us a Text HERE!Greetings! Welcome back to the podcast! It's been quite some time since we released an episode of the show, due to a unplanned break. Our wonderful host and friend Kiran had to take a break to recover from a very unexpected health issue but we are so glad to say he is recovering well. Whilst he takes the time to concentrate on his recovery, our good friend Damo Lodrick has stepped into his rather large shoes, to help us bring the show back for regular service in 2025. In this episode we talk about modelling, valve amps, tone in general, modern music and the social media generation, and much more! Hope you enjoy and see you on the next one!
