English guitarist and one half of the incredible Eden Stell Guitar Duo, Chris Stell and I (Rosie Bennet) discuss the benefits of having to start over building your confidence, strategies for making difficult decisions and how his meeting Mark Eden completely changed the course of the career that he had imagined. We mused on the positive changes that the 2020 pandemic brought about personally and how and why that time has reflected in Chris' teaching practice.

In today's episode Alan Gogoll and I discuss success, spotify playlists and why writing music with money in mind leads only to tears (if not money!). We touch briefly on the problems with extraction of data, the differences between the classical and the acoustic guitar worlds and how 2020 taught him the most valuable lesson he has learnt so far.

In today's episode I talk to Sam Brown about how ego interacts with our ability to learn and listen, the ephemeral quality of our art form and where harmony, rhythm and their analysis fit into our life as musicians and as animals.

Guitarist, composer and writer David Leisner and I discuss how letting go of the need for control changed his life, his playing and his career, how loaded and political language in the music world reveals our deep rooted obsession with pain and what he's looking forward to this year. A wonderful episode with a lot of laughs!

In today's episode I talk to Jordanian-Canadian guitarist Tariq Harb about his work as a guitarist, composer and teacher and his approach towards playing "in style" in each of those lives. We discussed the benefit of playing with presence over perfection (something new to me!) and Tariq even gave some exercises to practice being more present during your practice. Hope you enjoy this one - we spent forever talking and it was wonderful!
