Backstage Journal Podcast with Rhett Shull

One of my favorite parts of being a YouTube creator is the friendships this platform has opened up to me. Mary is one of those people who I can chat with at length about all things musical and more, in this week's episode we do just that.

My wife Tilly and I sit down to wrap up season 1 of the Backstage Journal Podcast by looking back on the last 20 episodes, rambling about random topics and answering a few listener submitted questions.

I sit down with Rick Beato and discuss the past 6 years working together, how the music industry has changed and how YouTube has changed how we make a living as musicians. We also discuss what it takes to get into music professionally today.

When I first heard from Kenny Greenberg, I was slightly star struck. He's almost exactly the musician I want to be "when I grow up" He does everything from tour the world playing stadiums with the likes of Kenny Chesney & Bonnie Raitt to scoring films and TV shows as well as producing albums for some of Nashville's best. In this episode, we talk about how he got to where he is today, what its like playing for thousands of people, and some of his favorite gear.

Jeremy Sheppard is a guitar player and trader who has bought and sold over 3,000 guitars in his time as a player. In this episode we talk about the ups and downs of life in the guitar playing and trading community.
