The Guitar Noize Podcast Episode 24: Kaki King

admin — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 01:39:42 +0000

Kaki King has been astounding audiences around the world for a decade now with her virtuosic control including her percussive two handed techniques of the acoustic guitar. Kaki’s sixth album ‘Glow’ has just been released and is a record filled with lush soundscapes provided by her interesting choice of instrumentation. As you will see in the video below and hear in the interview Kaki uses some very cool instruments on Glow as well as string ensembles to add an extra dimension to her compositions. The production is really great, solo acoustic tracks are subtly enhanced with percussion elements or tremelo guitar drenched in reverb so as not to interfere with Kaki’s incredible playing.

I recently reviewed the latest solo album from guitar legend Steve Lukather, “Transition” (read the review here).

The Guitar Noize Podcast Episode 19 – Tom Quayle

admin — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 22:30:25 +0000

I recently recorded a video interview with UK Fusion guitarist Tom Quayle to talk about his new custom Fibenare Roadmaster ’56 Guitar. I wrote an article on Fibenare Guitars for Guitar Connoiseur magazine which you can check out here – http://thefirstissue.guitarconnoisseur.com/files/38.html, they are a really cool family business that make some extraordinary instruments, definitely worth checking out.

Tom is an amazing musician who has a load of great lessons available for purchase on his website and you can also arrange 1 hour Skype lessons which are also very worthwhile, I have had a lesson myself and Tom is a brilliant, relaxed and inspiring teacher. Tom also works for Guitar Interactive Magazine which I’m sure you’ve all probably checked out by now but if not is another great online mag with regular lesson columns from Tom as well as gear reviews.

I have included the video below in case you would like to see it but I thought I would also make this interview available as a Podcast episode too.

The Guitar Noize Podcast: Episode 16 – Claude Hay

admin — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 01:15:15 +0000

Claude Hay is an Australian solo artist who cleverly combines Guitar, Bass and Drums using both hands, both feet and a looper. Claude draws from his influences in blues, rock and funk influences to create very infectious music. Having seen Claude support Joe Bonamassa as a one man band last week I was blown away, Claude is not only a great guitar player, especially slide, but has a fantastic voice too and to play drums and guitar at the same time as well as sing amazes me. You can hear a preview of Claude’s albums over on his site http://claudehay.com.au/, where you will also find links to purchase his albums too.

Check out this looping demo by Claude!
