Ep. 160 - Andy Wood Interview!

[@bigdavedave9865]

Great episode! Andy is a gem. His channel and socials are great and he is VERY generous with his time and what he is prepared to share for free. Love his playing! Great versatility in his playing whether he is playing on his own, or the flatts or his mandolin 😎👌

Dear Tonetalk Crew, thanks for the shows. I totally understand the love hate relationship with Mesa Boogie amps. I am on my third Mark III and in the process of selling it again. I was constantly tweaking the volume and EQ pots plus the graphic EQ sliders. Got myself a new Soldano - no tweaking pots anymore , it just inspires me to play the guitar 😊Greetings from Munich, Germany Christian

Hands down your best guest to date. His level of knowledge and communication is, unsurprisingly, a level beyond. Please get more guests like Andy who can easy and comfortably fly on-topic (no offence Mick). That is wasn't necessary to dwell at all on Andy's monstrous technique and consummate musicality is proof that this was a rare podcast where the forum was helmed by (all three) adults and experts who didn't need to prove crap. Bravo to all involved. But for those new to Andy - check him out, because he's one of the key monsters for our time.

Andy's a cool dude and a fantastic player. Great to hear his thoughts!

[@MurrayWilliams]

I’m 52. I went to concerts as a kid and I remember a lot of shows where I couldn’t hear the singer. It was loud but the mix left a lot to be desired. Most shows I go to today have a clear mix where I can hear everything being played and sung from the stage. I agree about the missing low mids but it was far from perfect back then. Despite me disagreeing with you on some things, I still love the show and watch them all.

Great show guys, I had a similar musical upbringing ad Andy’s, growing up bluegrass mandolin/fiddle, then I got a copy of the Allman brothers “Live at The Filmore East” at the age of 14 and became totally obsessed with electric guitar. Got a job at the age of 21 with Jerry Reed playing guitar and fiddle. My life has never been the same lol 😂. Keep the great shows coming guys. I love them all..! ✌️

[@kylejones4338]

Just downloaded Andy's new album ,absolute Killer its fantastic beginning to end !

[@Burkhimself]

I have a pair of heritage G65’s in my Marshall 1936 & love’m with my 800’s 🤘🏼 Andy was a great guest. Love his attitude and energy.

[@BradMiller007]

Great interview guys. Simon Hosford also gigged in the US playing the whole Van Halen 1 album

[@MrDevins]

I 100% agree with Dave - saw AC/DC and VH each multiple times in the 80s into the early 90s, and those were the loudest shows my ears ever heard. Never distorted. Just loud as F.

[@CS_Murphy_R9]

There's a video here on KZbin of guitar summit of Andy playing the james gang's Funk 49 with phil x and Jarrod Nichols. Andy just tears it up😮 I never knew he was that great until seeing that! No matter how great you think he is , times that by 2!

[@kxmrock]

ANdy's Cool, and on KZbin every Tuesday

[@derekchapman5167]

If Andy's comment at 30:20 creates a wave in the VH world, regarding Carnal Knowledge, my favourite VH album, sound and playing-wise, is Balance.

[@ShannonHolt-r3b]

I live in Greeneville, just down the road from you.

[@lastscatteringsurface9950]

I wish you guys would do a stream of just looking at Sweetwater and talking about gear. They would probably pay more for those streams!

[@CS_Murphy_R9]

@23:51 Andy do you mean like when Eddie hits the A chord in ERUPTION? 😁

[@peterschaefer1665]

Fwiw, the John Petrucci Mesa is a bonified IIC+.

[@timp.9582]

EV-12L's. Fantastic and efficient. Boogie Mark IV > girlfriend analogy is good representation. MusicMan Axis > best guitar i e played ever, got 3 of them with different woods, the sport version is ash bodied and sounds fantastic.

[@SpartanPridePod]

For Unlawful is w/out a doubt in the top 3 VH records, despite how difficult it was to make

[@bigtrex76]

Almost skipped this episode; it’s one of my faves. The string tension “fans” stretching and the two tuner length is real shit. I worked at a guitar shop in 97-2002 (started at 20)….anyways it’s legit

[@Wade6242]

Great show

[@Burkhimself]

Fight was obviously a rigged money grab.

[@TheBlund1971]

Stretch 5 times before changing strings. Then change strings. Then stretch strings FIVE times!!!! Might be.....

[@19581998]

What a great guy. The fight you signed off for was a total joke.

[@daveyboy8907]

Dont buy that electric car..You will regret it.

[@allthewaylive8665]

Don’t buy this guy’s line of thought, just buy a lightly used one. And don’t make it your primary car unless you just don’t drive that much. If you live out in the middle of nowhere and driving is your religion, it might not be for you.
