390 - Happy New Year, Happy New Gear!
01/05/22 • 57 min
Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Happy new year to all of our listeners! The guys have been indulging in merriment and chocolate and are feeling the strain - well their waistbands are - and they discuss their gear hauls over the festive period. Brian is still having humidity related issues so Richard suggests a change of location but Brian is not keen.
Brian bought himself a new toy for Christmas and tells us all about it and all about his (non peanut butter flavored) cookies. Blake and Brian also discuss the worrying supply chain issues in the electronics industry and it isn't happy listening. Hint: Prices are not going to be going down this year in the music gear industry. It seems as if Brian has fallen into the matrix over the holiday season and Richard wants to pull him back out so he can make some more pedals.
Alexa has become dangerous and has proved we are not ready to embrace a fully AI driven life just yet. Bad Alexa. Blake has an amazing Dan Armstrong lucite guitar and the guys love it, it has some interesting technological features plus it weighs less than a baby elephant. Ooh. shiny things. I cant believe we didn't make the Transparent tone gag. The guys also got some amazing gifts from some of our listeners and are bowled over by the generosity so discuss what they got...
Important note: several stupid and dangerous things get discussed. Do not listen to anything from these idiots, their brains have been badly affected by the consumption of holiday foodstuffs. Yes foodstuffs, that's it.
The Fast show, E-sports, The rise of Skynet, Brians radio headset, Blues driver mods, Thalia capos ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

389 - Paul Cuddeford joins us for a holiday chat
Brian, Blake and Richard are back with an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
This week we are joined by Paul Cuddeford, a British guitar player who has graced many a record and many a stage, and is currently part of the touring David Bowie alumni supergroup "Holy Holy". He tells us about how he met Jimmy Page, got the playing bug, and how he started out as a musician in LA as a result of a meeting with guitarist Rick Dufray.
He's a self confessed gear-head and has been around a fair few legendary individuals and part of the guitar scene through some interesting times so has a unique take on what it was like to play on the road with some big name acts. Brian also gets the opportunity to use his new-found British vocabulary to simultaneously categorise and criticise Richard and his 90s music tastes.
Paul is a left handed player and Blake has a really interesting question for all 'lefties' everywhere so the guys explore it and Paul gives us his views based on his experience. Paul is also a Wampler artist and the guys talk about the Tumnus and the Pantheon and why he loves them. The guys then look at Paul's career making music for Film and television and there are some great insights in how to get started.
Pete Thorn, Yo! MTV Raps, Ron Jeremy, Mott the Hoople, Shane MacGowan...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!

Next Episode
391 - Døvydas from the Internet is here...attitude follows action
Brian, Blake and Richard are joined by live looping maestro Døvydas for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!
Our guest has come from relatively humble roots in Lithuania to international fame, via "Lithuania's got talent" and the Eurovision song contest, and his journey both geographically and musically is discussed at length. It's been a funny and interesting journey so far - if you have never seen one of his YouTube videos you should definitely go check one out now - and the guys have a great time chatting about the cultural differences and quirks that have stood out.
We hear about how he started off with borrowed gear, his earliest influences, Brian tells us about how he first met Døvydas, and Richard mistakes Am for Dm. We dig into his style, his skills, and how he puts his performance together, and we get some great wisdom that stops Brian in his tracks. Blake points out that it's not just the Rock and the Roll that Døvydas excels at either before committing a hideous and nefarious audio crime.
Døvydas has been having fun at a guitar store and tells us of the story which pleases everyone, and then explains how being a solo artist can be a real time saver, and why his pursuit of physical fitness is a lifestyle choice. He also gives as a raft of valuable wisdom. You are not going to want to miss this episode - it's a rollercoaster from start to finish. The medium IS the message.
Red Elvis chickensuits, Pointless awards, Pork Butt and Blues, Rick rolling, The fresh prince, Steve Vai ...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!
