Episode 40 - Showing Each Other Our Licks

0:07 You wouldn't expect that to come from the John Mayer plug in Paul. Mute dotted delay. It sounds beautiful. I love it because it's like that edge of breakup. Hey, I'm gonna. I love that sound so much. I said we should make a jam track with that. Maybe it'll happen. Every Friday we put out a new jam track for you guys to jam over for free. No covercharge.com.

0:30 The dream delay put the dream delay on. Use code No cover charge for a 30% discount on any Neural DSP plug in. Thanks to them for sponsoring the show and we have a very special show. In fact, this is actually a long time coming because we got to the bottom of each other's guitar tendencies and as a result, learn more about ourselves.

0:49 Well. What's funny is when you jam with someone so many times, you start to feel these little intricacies and you kind of know where they're going. It's almost like talking. It's like when you're in the band with someone, you're like, oh, I know where they're going to go because they always do that.

1:02 We started to get that with each other since we've been ripping it up for now, like seven months, dude. I haven't figured out what the best title for this episode is yet, but showing each other our licks was one of them I had. Or stealing my Bros lick. Oh no. So whatever it ends up being, I hope you guys enjoy the No Cover Charge podcast. Enjoy.

1:22 Oh my God dude my flies open dog. You would never saw it, but it's open. Welcome to the YouTube game. I've had to delete an entire segment. It was just so egregious. It was, so I didn't. Care at all, but it was just like you can see the direct shapes. I saw a guy posted a video yesterday, he was talking about his band and it was like this and he was wearing sweatpants and he's like, I just want to talk to you guys about mental health and blah blah blah. And did his little sackage.

1:51 It was, it was so bad that literally I was like, and I was like, I flipped off it really quick. Yeah, yeah. You got to be careful when you're filming guitar videos. That can be a career ender. You know, you get the wrong day. It's a little cold. Well, like I said with the Pete Thorne one, I was wearing the jacket and I was getting like this and also the jacket slid over. Oh yeah.

2:12 We got a nip slip on Pete Thorne episode. Nip slip. I'm sure you've seen that by now.

2:56 Dude, don't be one of those people that's going to Fast forward to the end of this video. We got some super fun stuff that we're going to be. Doing we're going to know because YouTube shows where people Click to in the little the heat map of watchability. We're going to Liam Neeson them and I will find you I.

3:11 Will find you, and I'll know that you didn't see what we're about to do. What is the concept of today? Obviously we've been jamming together now for this whole pod series, the NCC Inception. So for us to show each other licks, I feel like it's natural because I instinctively already take stuff that you do like I told you about the one thing where that just sounds horrible out of.

3:31 Touch the worst sounding thing that I do and made it beautiful. It sounds like a really bad horn lookout, man, but you know, when we're playing, give me an A minor, Here's the Larson. I stole that from you, dude. It's so ugly. It's beautiful. I guess you do that all over the neck too. That's a cool part.

4:04 I feel like when you're with your buddies and you guys would playing licks back and forth, all of a sudden it just opens more doors where you're like, oh, what if I play it there? Oh, it sounds totally different here. I want to start with asking you to show me something. What is that double bend? It's a joint shifting is what I've heard it referred to as Steve Vibe.

4:22 OK. You're talking about that. It's one finger bend. Yes, yes. But you do 2 strings. Yes, so that one I actually learned that from. There's a Telecaster player named Jerry Donohue. OK, Jerry, have you heard of that dude? So if you if you're not familiar with this guy, Jerry Donohue, he's he's like, First off, he's the nicest human alive. I swear to you.

4:41 I used to watch he had like the hot licks videos ripping on a telecaster. But the way that he plays, you listen to it and it's this insane telly and he's just standing up there and he looks like a car mechanic. You know, he's just jamming. But it's funny part enough. I remember I saw him at the NAMM show.

4:54 This was years ago. And I was like, whoa, there he was. And he was playing. He does all this cool behind the neck and or behind the nut stuff, you know, But then the next morning I was like, man, I was talking to my friend. I was like, I can't believe I met Jerry Donahue. And then we go to the Denny's by NAMM and he's in there alone and he's eating eggs and drinking coffee and he goes, Hey, I was like, what the.

5:12 Jerry Donahue's a man of the. People OK, here's the lick though, and it's the coolest like lick to show your friends or just bop this out and people are going to go like the dog thing where they're like, huh, come on dude, one more time for fun. What? That's a big dog. OK, check this out dude. So this is a really weird 1 to get under your fingers.

5:41 This almost reminds me of, and I'm not going off on a tangent, but hit hit me. You know the Hendrix leg. It's this R of doing a bend. In this case, we're bending down on the G string and you're going to go on the 9th fret, right? And what you're doing is you're bending the 9th fret down to hit the the 11. So right as you bend that down, you squeeze the B string under that index finger, right?

6:11 And then when you release the bend of the G, you're hitting the on the on the B string this 9th fret. And as you release it, that naturally is going to bend up to hit. So it starts there and so slowly. Oh yeah, isn't that better slow, man? And if you like reverb it like I'm being a dummy now, but like. Verb it up.

6:40 Dude hit an A again sounds almost like a slide or a steal, right? So check it out, try it out brother. 9th fret and this is it'll hurt your finger for a second. So be ready to kind of have like a little owl. Just let it down normal. OK, don't even it down so I don't bend it back up. Yeah, you don't even bend it back up, so it's almost like this bend and then the release. Is that beautiful?

7:13 I see. Almost don't don't block that E So you want to keep that G ring. So there as as you release, you hit that B string with a pick and then it'll blend together. Yeah, you got it. There it is. And then slight bend, slight bend. And then you want and then and then if you just want to add a little bit of extra. I need an escape.

7:44 Bro I love you. You put a little bit of vibrato. Right. OK, OK, OK. My fingers already started and burned. Yeah, that's it bro, man, if you want to try it a little easier, let's try it in, try it in the key of E So like go up to like your just your E pentatonic boxes up here 12th fret, right? And if you want to visualize this any, anywhere you are on the neck on the G and the B string, right?

8:13 You just are trying to go to basically the fifth in a root. So if we're an E, we're going to bend on the 16th fret of the G and do that same practice, right? Try that. There it is dude. So now you. Much easier up there. You try it, I'm going to play a chord on you. Yeah dude. So I made this little like and it takes a while to get this one.

8:44 I made this little latude. So if you almost do like, you know, like over a 12 bar Blues, you can go like. Go to a beat to the E and what's great about this is it sounds country, but now it hit a big old. It has that vibe, right? Very versatile and putting it into context. That's the next phase, yes.

9:28 So if you're jamming on it, do you find that an intro phrase? It's A tag, It's something because it seems like a feature almost, where it's like an exclamation on a phrase. Or do you like the start phrases? How would you use it? I would. Everywhere I've, you know, it's a great question. Everywhere I've used that it's almost at the end of a phrase or it's even at the end of like a solo.

9:48 You can even do it trick wise like at the end of a song if the song was literally going. I'll do it at the end of a solo or I'll do it at the end of a phrase. Let's say I'm playing our super stock Blues thing and I go just hit an E for me, it's cool. And let me tell you, don't get discouraged with any of that because this finger basically, I'm pretty sure I could hit a nail through it because it hurts right? It's tough.

10:20 Let. Me see if I can put it in. Now you just showed me something. I just hit it in the a different place than you said. I just had a Is that called a brain blast? What you just did just opened up a whole. This is why this is amazing. It just opened up a whole new door for me because you did it and it was AD.

10:43 Yeah, but I played an E, right? So do that again. Now hit an E for me. I like that. Well, now I'm thinking in my head because, you know. What other like targets could you do with that? You could probably do so many bro. Check this one out now hold up, I'm being weird. Hit an E for me. You do minor.

11:22 Oh yeah. OK, so this is kind of cool. What if you go go east? Look at that. You're barely even moving it. It's like voice leading. Voice leading. Weird Ben. You know that Tim and Eric went into the universe. This is why this is so cool. So you can do that. Now I'm seeing now, gosh, man, now I'm going to be doing this all over the place. Back in the shed now.

11:50 Hey give me an hour, I got to go see you later. All right. Well, with that energy, we should move on to another one, is there? Something I could steal from you? Well, I had something that I would like to see how you interpret it because some of these are are pick based, but you can you can adapt it which is cool.

12:05 So for like a turn around lick which is just a diminished sound. Oh. Oh, that's cool. So you're doing a play it again. Show me and the people. Just go down minor thirds. But this is the thing that I like to do is just cut out the B string OK? Wish between it like that like that right it's. The same shape every time.

12:41 I see. OK, hold on. That's it. Hit an E for me. What are you playing? Come on, bro. I love that dude. Oh, I got it. Because you know what's funny with the? Bluesy is cool like I I do it in a like a metal context. Well, you got that little picky that. That's why it's so cool for to translate into yours, because it sounds like I don't know, you need to put that in the grab bag. Dude, you just gave me an absolute grab bag. What I always do and what I suggested to all of you that are watching and do this now, I just sit with it and I just kind of like, it's like food.

13:32 I chew on it in my mouth for a bit. You know what I mean? It's like, what are we chewing on? Is that a carrot? Hidden ink? Wow. Oh, I dig that. Dude that's a that's a great one just to throw in for if you're feeling like you're always ending in. That's awesome. You know who that reminds me of a lot too is like Greg, Greg cock. Oh, right, shout out to Greg.

13:59 He would do this stuff and what and you know, I I just like love the way he plays. Obviously we we both do, but he'll do these weird diminished things and I feel like he does stuff like. That he definitely pulls from. It's always 1/2 step away where the coolest notes are and hitting them on purpose is what Greg can do just at will in any tonality. And this is like a little taste, a dip into the cock pool. Yet again, give me an hour with this. I can't wait.

14:27 Well, here's the thing too. Someone told me this, and this is not trying to stray off from what we're doing, but it goes alongside it. They said, Jared, you never really play out. And I was like, well, what define playing out? Like does that mean like playing the wrong notes almost or like, you know, something super altered? And I can't remember who told me, whoever it was, shout out, show yourselves, but play an E, right? So you just go 1/2 step above what you're doing, right? So all I'm doing right there is I was playing F pentatonic, but sliding in and out.

15:08 That's cool. It almost gives you that kind of vibe too. Which is essentially the diminished notes are the notes in between the good ones, so. There we go. That's really cool. Now I'm going to have to really work that. I like it for the ergonomics of it too. It's just always right under your finger.

15:28 You can do this in, you know, G minor. It's so cool. What's cool about it too is sometimes you see things differently and I'm sitting here in East and I'm going, wait a minute, if I play that diminished, I have my flat 3, flat 5, and then I think my Dorian. No, you know what I mean? I think that's sick. It's very cool.

15:55 It's very cool. I'm going to steal that one. Thank you bro. Now I need you to show me something that you can learn verbatim in the No Cover Charge app in the courses section. It's in the JJN. OK, well, well, it's got I have to show you the lick. We're going to do like a sampler of it. OK, I'm going to do a sampler. So there's this thing I always do. It's this really wild.

16:17 I love that you're here. Give me an E. Yeah, I like it. So what's happening here? How can you give it to me in in a bite sized piece? Toured with Richie Cotson and he would do these crazy flurries of notes and I'm like, how is he doing that? So I just started developing this thing. Check it out. So we are in I'm I'm just going to say it's E minor pentatonic right up here. 5th, 7th yeah all that right. So it's this kind of pull off flurry with a bar. So check it out if I play it so slow. Let me see if I can get that.

16:59 Oh, this is what I need you to do. That's the money is use your third finger and bar across the seven K and then oh, close. So real slow. Yeah, so Yep. So. Oh God. Check this out. If you want to even break down a little further, you could always start it with. Try that SO 7 and then do the bar cross. OK, there we go.

17:55 That's how I would start. And you can just start right there and go. That's what. That's it. And are you hammering this or picking it? Picking. It yeah. So if you see my and this is all on the NCC app, if you really wanted to, you got it. I got there for a second dude, I. I decided to stop. Wait a minute.

18:20 He got it. No, it's all on the app. So go on the app and you can you know, we, we, we really broke it down. But yes, that's it's that. What you can do, go on the app and go to this lesson. He's hitting a knee. Listen, this is where this lick went. So here we go. With me, the sky is the limit, so when I find a little thing that I like, I try and figure out where I can do it everywhere. And a lot of people will see that lick and they'll go, how the hell is he doing that without a pic, right? It's a lot easier than you'd think. So get on the app and I'll show you the rest of that one. Well, now I have to show you this. Oh, here we go.

19:26 We've had a lot of Satriani on the. Dude, I'm Satch. I went home last night. I was jamming Satch Dude A. Lick here. That is formative to me because I actually ended up writing my own piece of music using this technique, right? I think you'll be able to get this. It seems flashy. Oh no, he dropped the pick and I'm like, oh, we're tapping. Yeah, we're tapping.

19:45 Let's see. But it's not the traditional tapping. So we got AB power chord, then we're going to hand her a 12th fret of the B&D strings. Yes. Oh, wow. So the motion is. And speed up. I can get that you. Can get that easily and you just kind of synchronize them too, but. Bro, that's like a liquid. You're Bo and you're like, hey, my friend plays guitar and all of a sudden he comes out, you're like smoke and like in front of a huge mountain, you're like, let's go. OK, so it's all about boom.

20:28 It's all that rhythm. I need a metronome, so this would be a good one. Sitting in the metronome, definitely. I'm sorry A. Major So you move your index finger up. And there you go. Is that what you did? Yeah, that's the major third. Oh, you slick son of a gun dude. Make a little adjustment I. Didn't even notice that.

21:00 Oh, I'm going to have to work on that. It's going to be 3:00 AM and I'm going to text Tyler and I'll be naked with a guitar. Just be like. Dude, look at this. I've never tapped like that. There you go. Do you hold the neck? It's your thumb, it's much more bouncy. That's so sick. I think this made like an Eddie vibe too, right? It's like Eddie or it's like Stanley Jordan I saw do this kind of thing.

21:40 It's like a chord etude. Sach has those things like. Yeah, that's sick. Wow. But hit these voices are really easy to make major or minor and you can just any chord progression. So the song that I made with it. I love the pop because it keeps showing me really cool stuff that I would never have done.

22:14 You know what I mean? Like with these licks, really cool. All right, stealing that moving forward, what is a riff that you took and it became like part of your style? Learned harmonic minor, the sound of it. OK. Which was a Metallica song. OK, so you're just you got to learn this lick. Everyone has to know this one.

22:31 It's wherever I may roam. You know that song? Dude, of course and. It has a. It has a pipe in there. There's a pipe that Lars hits. Conch Oh, it's so sick. You heard it. Hey, whenever I do it, whenever I do it, I. Know that one already, do you? But when I hear it I think I'm like in like James Bondy. Mamonic minor is so spicy dude.

23:15 Oh yeah, that was the sound that I heard because it's in the context. So sick. Little licks like that as far as your ear when you figure things out that are just not in the traditional wheelhouse of the. Music that you're listening to, I think that that opens your ear to say, you know, like, you know, that scary moment when you go, oh, no modes or wait, harmonic minor.

23:39 That's really heavy words. But then when you're like, dude, Metallica, wherever I may room, then you go, oh, that sound. Yeah, I know that sound. It's a great way to learn. It's sort of how I still look at guitars. Oh, Lydia. Oh, that's the Satriani sound. I would. Love and and hopefully it'll I'm putting I'm putting some energy out there in the NCC universe that we could chat with Hammett. I I met Hammett last year and he actually recognized me. He's like, dude, you're the no pick guy, Jared, right? She plays the no pick guy and I'm like, dude, Kurt, come on man.

24:10 It's a. Great moniker. But I would love to have him on here or obviously James, but to talk about how they wrote some of those rifts because I would love to just know like, dude, where were you guys hearing that sound? You know what I mean? Or like, how did that originate? Because it's not like something that's so normal for even rock, but when you hear it, you go, dude, it's iconic black. Albums are my favorite Metallica album. It's not what it's worth.

24:33 It's gnarly. It can easily be changed based on my mood or time of my life, but Black Album, overall, it shaped me the most as a player, I think, when I got my hands on it. So that's a riff that you have something like that that's more simple that people probably even be able to figure out just by you've shown it to them once.

24:50 Oh my gosh. Well, the biggest one, and I've been known because I play it on stage all the time, is Mississippi Queen. It's like, how do you get it to scream? So with that riff, it's epic. But it's the way he started to play the chords after. So when I was a kid, maybe like you and a lot of people watching, when you think of just power chords, you're like, Oh yeah, power chords are cool. I go right, the two notes, right root in the 5th. But then I realized, like my man, Leslie Diesel power chords, dude.

25:27 So instead of playing those two notes, it would be, Oh yeah, it reminds me of like Deep Purple. It reminds me of having an organ under that lower fit. Let's say you're like, oh, I don't like metal. It's not metal. It's not like that kind of heavy. Don't you like fun though? Dude now when I play a progression bro, I'll literally sit there and go.

25:58 I'm writing like when I'm, I'm writing songs now, I'll sit there. Let's say I'm playing AD to AC to AA, right? I'll literally go. Yeah, even the A up here. Just because I love that that tone. How would you even say it bro? Like that tonality the. Voicing of it rubs your ear a certain way, especially on the lower frets.

26:21 You can concentrate more of that 4th if you want to based on where you pick it. So this would be like a straight sound. Got that? Birth, but you can kind of focus on the. Right, you can hit the board more right you. Can barely have that in. There. Oh God. Oh yeah. And what's cool too is. And for me, you know, like when we're jamming or when it's just you on stage and you're playing in a band, sometimes if you were to go, like, let's say that's the riff as Bonehead as it is, OK, that's cool with drums and bass. But if you go, it just almost feels like there's just more. It's almost like an extra guitar behind you, a little bit like a layer.

27:05 If you can afford to put them into every power cord, that's what's usually appropriate. That's why I started to do a thing too, where if I play single note riffs, sometimes man, I'll just sneak it. Let's say I'm going. I'll go. So I'm just hitting the 2 and I'm not doing it. So you hear it. It's more like you feel it and I just love that.

27:29 It's like a analog guitar effect with your fingers that's sort of creating this fuzzy octave underneath. You know, you know those those players that could play like, you know, all the really this is like my the Jared Bonehead wave playing that because you go. Cool. You know, so like I guess the doubling of that kind of 5th in that power chord for me. Mississippi Queen.

27:58 Between the licks, the riffs, the guitar tones that inspire us, there's just a few that are timeless and also that can elude US1 for me that I've just never quite nailed down. I've learned it like 68 times in my life and then I just forget it a little bit and then I'm like, which one? It's it's more of a technique thing that the riff itself.

28:19 Putting your fingers is simple, but it's the technique and it's Achilles last stand Led Zeppelin. I never even learned that because that song always freaked me. Out when the heavy riff comes in with the drums, it's a simple minor triads here. This is the tough part. I can't even do it. Slow look, that's the move. So very slowly.

28:56 Man. And for me as a pickless player, if I was like, I'd have to like really work that. It's but the rhythm of it, whether or not you're going to try and do the. Try and do the thing. The the rhythm of it that that that rhythm has always sort of eluded me, and it's because I don't practice it enough.

29:16 Now I'm sitting here, it's that is so difficult. OK, it's not right, and if it's not right, it's terrible. Here's the thing, and I'm a firm believer on this and comment below if you agree with me. I feel like there's a lot of players that we love and it's not just the old school guys. All of these players, they have their own internal rhythm and their own internal pocket, right?

29:43 So maybe for Jimmy that felt normal. Well, you know, he's just doing the like, he's not even thinking about it like a difficult thing. Because there's other songs, like you said, where it's like if you don't nail it, you don't nail it. So like even think about like, I don't know, think about ZZ Top or any of those kind of songs when you hear it and that song is particularly tough, you go, Oh my gosh, it doesn't seem that hard.

30:06 But then you're like, man, the rhythm is perfectly in the pocket. And if you don't nail the rhythmic part of it, you kind of missed the boat. Well, it's like when I learned LaGrange the first time and I was learning it like, yeah, but it's actually. Yes. Dude, this band, I was like, wait, you have to do that. So but then it's like I can't hear it. Even like like a song like it's like a classic staple jam song, funk 49.

30:42 But it has that you know that it's like you have to find a I don't even know if you can use that. Yeah, I think we can. That's. Fine also, you just blur a little bit of it out, but you have to find this like looseness in perfection. In a lot of players that we love, like Joe Sach and all the people, there's a perfection and it's real high order.

31:08 But with a lot of stuff, it's like you have to find the balance of perfection, but playing the part as it's like made to be felt. Some of the music was also composed with that level of perfection being the standard, which we've come into 2026 and there's people who can do incredible stuff that we never could imagine being done on the guitar. But at the time of the recording, why we love it so much is like everyone agreed, yeah, this is the best. And it's not technically perfect, but it's so serving of the sound of what we love.

31:40 And you said it best because now in 2026, obviously there's a lot of people that are watching this that are, are thinking, oh, you guys are talking about all the old guys or whatever. Sure. And it's it's just a snapshot at that time. Well that was fun. Want to give away a guitar? This Blue Dano has taken on a life of its own over the past. Let me grab the Dano.

32:00 Get the Dano dude. Oh, you got the goldies on the Dano. Oh yeah, you haven't even seen it yet. Yeah, boy. Oh, look at those. Gold, gold, gold, gold. Gold. Dude, you know, we're really making it big on the NCC when we're going. I won't play them too much, don't worry, I won't tarnish. Don't let me touch that thing because someone will be like, dude, I thought you had gold strings on here.

32:20 They'd be all nasty. Let me tune this baby, because she was. She was chilling the lucky winner. Let's talk about this. Is going to happen monthly on the NCC. We're going to have a giveaway where you go into the Backstage, which is the free forum on NCC app. Check out the link in the description.

32:36 No covercharge.com, but go to the Backstage. We'll have a post pinned each giveaway time. And yeah, it's pretty simple. You just got to engage in the app and hang out with us. Do whatever the post says. In this case it was write a guitar. Write a guitar poem. It's something simple. I think this is so cool because somebody's going to get this guitar. I know it's going to bring someone so much joy. So I said to Tyler, I said, you got a point doing these monthly because not only does it bring us more together as a community in the NCC app, because I want that to feel like honestly, like a safe space for us guitar players to talk about everything, whether it's tone or who's using this or what do you think of that?

33:13 People have been sharing their insights and opinions. It's so great. So Tyler had the blue Dano and then your boy over here got a little sad. I was like, well, I want to give something away. So every month we're going to be giving some super cool stuff away. Jared's going to go into his little stash and see what we can find.

33:28 Yeah, that'll be the next month's giveaway. So TuneIn at the top of each month for a giveaway, reveal the winner at some point during that month. Yes, that's today. Today is the day. Let's. See what she sounds like. Honestly, that guitar too is going to bring someone a lot of love because it's a triple pickup guitar.

33:50 Is that a five way switch? Right. Five way Switcher. That thing's deadly. So what do you think? Should we read some poems and see what? Just for context, man, how many people? Because this isn't like this giveaway where you go, oh, it's a giveaway and you're never going to hear about it or or, you know, it's like purchase 20 tickets for 80 entries. No, this isn't one of those things. We're not ever going to do this.

34:08 We're. Just two dudes giving stuff away on the Internet. We're literally 2 dudes that love guitar that are wanting to give you stuff. All right, so I'm going to the NCC app here, I'm going to the backstage and I'm going to the pin post. It's just there you are, man. Oh, there I am, baby. As you can see here, we have hundreds of comments.

34:27 You had thousands of people sign up for the app, so thank you for that. Thank you guys. Man, and we hope to continue to serve you Friday's backing tracks for free. Friday free backing tracks. Baby, as you can see, tracks. And guess who uses them? I do. I was at home the other day jamming them. Right here for free.

34:46 And anyway, back to the backstage, let's check out the guitar giveaway. All right, you read 1, then I want to read. One, I mean, here's here's the context. We have read all these, Jared and I've been. Yeah, we've been. Favorites, we've been sharing them back and forth. So if you do post them backstage, just know that we're active on there and we're watching this.

35:04 I probably open the NCC at probably 10 times a day, just when I'm like, you know, checking my socials or, you know, messages. I'll go there now and I'll see what everyone's saying. Jared and Tyler no cover charge makes me smile. I noodle all day. It's a haiku from Lumpy. Lumpy, I'm going to say not bad lumpy. Not bad dude.

35:26 We'll keep it going. Give it another one. This one seems like it was What's that song? My sex is on fire. Your sex is. On. Kings Of Leon, Yeah, I was doing this. Girl's on fire. That's Katy Perry or something, I don't know. I think this is a Kings Of Leon style. My guitar is on fire when I play with desire.

35:47 You can't get no higher. So play with desire. That's cool. That's from Brownell. Brownell, yeah. OK, Lightning Boy says. No matter what's going on in my life, when I pick you up, there's no strife. Nothing has changed the world I see like the six string monsters on NCC who wrote that beautiful lightning boy. Lightning boy do you got a JJN nod of the hat right there, bro. Oh.

36:15 Here's a nice 1-6 steel strings under the fingers as they dance along the fret board, making music as the sounds linger, waiting for the right chord. Mysterious. Maybe I feel like we need to have backing music underneath these. Can you? Do hey, can you do that one more time? Let's do it again. 6 steel strings under the fingers as they dance along the fret board, making music as the sounds linger, waiting for the right chord.

36:49 By D Ray RVA All right, let's keep going. Some of these are really creative and I can tell people put a lot of thought into them. We'll do this long one. Come up with a nice etude for me. OK, Drench it in reverb, will you? I want to feel like I'm in a cathedral. There is a cathedral setting on. Is there hold?

37:07 On let me put, let me put the cathedral. Oh, the church. Setting. Yeah, the church there you. Go, hey, you're like, can you spice it up with reverb and make it pretty? You ready? Let's see what it does. Dear Tyler Dear Jared, the stewards of Tone. Two men who cannot leave 1 guitar alone. Tyler hordes weird gear like a dragon hordes gold.

37:31 Jared plays pickless thumb, calloused and bold. You've built a podcast we all can love, where every guest's playing fits hand in glove and every burst is holy, every clowns a clone and somehow every jam is right in the zone. Now with Dan Electro, Tyler's own no less, a lipstick beauty plucked from the mess collection so rare a creeper guard space.

38:01 Maybe he won't even miss it. Ate more in its place. I'll love it, I promise. I'll treat it just right. I'll play it pickless, Jared sloppily but with might. I'll RIP the Friday backing tracks. I'll jam till I'm hoarse. I'll tag you on a cover. You'll regret it of course, so toss it my way fellas.

38:23 I'll give it a home. No cover, no charge, no shame. Just my aggressively mid tone. One more guitar Pilgrim thumb cocked amp on stun. Hoping the next Dan Elektra winner is this one. Who wrote that? Mountain guitar and I think that's the winner. Congratulations Mountain Guitar, that was awesome. That was exactly what we asked for.

38:51 That was awesome, man. No, honestly, the amount of thought you put into that. Felt like I was reading A Christmas Carol or something. Just something that I've known for years of my life and nostalgic bliss. Thank you. Thank you Mountain guitar. I'm going to get in touch with you. We are on the NCC app there. Get your contact info and ship you this Dan Electro guitar with gold strings on on it.

39:12 Now listen, Mountain Guitar, you rule. Thank you for being part of the community, but everyone else, do not be discouraged because every single month we're going to give a bunch of stuff away. Yeah, seriously. And it's not all about the giveaways. It's just something we think is cool to give back to you guys because you've helped us build this cool platform and community. We just want to share it with you guys. OK, if if you want I.

39:36 Listen, hey man, you just got endorsed by Marshall, didn't you? Is that foreshadowing? Hey Jared, what about all those Gibson guitars you got you? Got some Gibsons right Foreshadowing. Listen, back up. No, all of a sudden I show up and I have like a Fisher Price guitar. I'm like, yeah, this is one of my collections.

39:50 Favorites. You guys want it? Oh man, no. This is going to be so much fun. And we're so happy you all are here because get buckle up, we're just starting.
