Ariel Posen Interview - Reasons Why - Fret Success Guitar Show

Ariel Posen (‪@ArielPosen‬) is one of those artists who catch you off guard and quickly become one of your favorites. Not only that but he is a fantastic guitar player.
In this Fret Success Guitar Show episode, Dan talks to Ariel about playing guitar, songwriting, and the process, ideas, and emotions behind his latest release "Reasons Why". Hear some previews of the new album in this episode.
"Reasons Why" was released on September 8, 2023, and he is about to embark on a tour including Europe, US, and Canada. This includes dates in Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. I have tickets to see him at the Calgary show, very much looking forward to that. To buy tickets go here: www.arielposen.com/tour
With each successive release in his career, Ariel Posen finds his creative tide rising. In 2019, he wrote seven songs for his first album, How Long, and recorded them all, plus some instrumental interludes to fill things out. For his sophomore effort, 2021’s Headway, his songwriting surplus resulted in eight songs being left off the final project. For his latest, Reasons Why, the Canadian singer-songwriter and highly regarded guitarist wrote 30 songs, ultimately choosing 10.

Great interview! I think the album is great and some songs hook into me more than others...a big fan of Broken But I'm Fine; Feel This Way Too and Man You Raised. On another album, Ariel does a great version of John Martyn's Angeline. John Martyn has such a large library of albums and it would be interesting to hear Ariel play Hurt In Your Heart. Ariel's playing also reminds me of Ry Cooder's style of playing. I look forward to future albums by Ariel.
