It's SHREDtember with Brien Allen, Dylan Kortz and Jon Yadon Jr

I wanted to mix it up a little bit so instead of interviewing one band, I sat down with three individuals from three various projects to talk about all things guitar. In this episode I sat down with a long time friend Brien Allen (Bridges Ablaze / Arborenna / Altermind), Dylan Kortz (Living Hollow / Hopefool) and Jon Tadon (Lift the Curse / The Browning).

In my years of doing this podcast, of the many things I have learned is that the musicians are nerds, haha. The depth of knowledge that they have about their gear, instruments and software they use to make the sweet, sweet sounds for our listening pleasurer amazes me. So I decided to get some of the best ones I know in a room together to have a conversation about the thing they love the most.

I wanted to dig a little bit into each other their backgrounds and get to know where all this started and what fueled their passions. Over the course of the interview we find out origin stories, first instruments and influences. I ask who will todays generations look up to as they did to the great 80's and 90's metal bands. Of course we talked about their influences and what sounds got them into their sound to include what there tuning is and how many strings is too much.

We also talk about scale length because inches matter and the thickness of your pick.
