JhsamsGreat Interview with JerryCory, Great interview with Jerry Douglas. What he said about not playing in her register resonated with me. Great advice for any instrument.
-
Guitar BirdMuch More Than a Guitar Show!Wong has one of the best podcasts imho. He brings out the best in his guests, enabling them to share the joy and beauty and sheer fun of music in all styles and forms. Wong’s enthusiasm is highly infectious and encouraging! I look forward to each new episode as they always recharge my desire to create.

Bladerguy2You are a better musician after any episode.Cory, thank you so much for providing such an indispensable resource. This podcast has single-handedly changed my approach to life and guitar in ways innumerable. You are a special gift to the community and I genuinely cannot thank you enough. Inspiring. Informative. Life changing. Listen to this podcast.

kristinfinitiCame for Marcus King and found plenty more!Loved your interview with one of my favorite artists, Marcus King. Love the new album, and loved everything you guys talked about too. Thanks guys! Looking forward to tuning into more interviews.

paul buttJust saw you liveI just saw you live in Portland ME, you and victor wooten are the most talented performers I have ever seen, have been following the podcast for a while and that’s what made me want to see you live, keep up the good work
-
Shant HovhannesWell Done, SonThis is a proper interview format podcast. Cory asks good questions with good energy. It’s more than apparent he cares about creativity, musicianship, artistry, and the persons he interviews. At times, non-players may not get the lingo - but I believe anyone can get insight from hearing this pod. Well done!
-
littleprawnsLove it!Contagious energy and a genuine interest in what makes these cats tick. So good. Thanks, Cory!
-

Pete R 66Love This Podcast!I’ve been listening to Cory’s podcast for a short time. Kind of stumbled upon it actually. Got to tell you, this is one of my favorite go-to’s. Whether your a musician (pro or aspiring) or just someone who appreciates music and wants to learn more about the art and artists, there’s so much to get out of Cory’s interviews and insights. I’m hooked for the long haul!! Thanks for all you do, Cory!!
-
trashpanda007FantasticI started listening to this podcast from the beginning. Cory is an excellent host, and the show develops as an ongoing conversation about evolving as artist, finding one’s own unique voice, and approaching the business of music in modern times. His broad range of guests share their insight and candor during excellent, concise conversations. Cory seems like a genuinely nice guy, and it’s easy to imaging sitting in the room with him as a buddy while he talks to guests. His tireless enthusiasm and joyful approach to music and the instrument is refreshing - I’m glad I’ve spent the hours listening. I’ve learned a lot, and there’s a lot of inspiration in these conversations.
-

MophonicThoughtfully curatedCory asks the questions I would hope to ever get a chance to ask artist that I could only dream of to speak with. He’s a spark of light and you can feel the artists respond and reflect to his energy. Loved the Susan Tedeschi and Madison Cunningham episodes.

AdamPastorSo happy this podcast existsSuper dope podcast, Cory’s conversation with Joe Satriani is so great filled with tons of great advice from both Cory and Joe.

I’ve most definitely found my new favorite podcast, can’t wait for future episodes! 🤘

TromboneLawyerGreat talk with SatrianiLoved the whole discussion. I was really struck by his comments about understanding that different musicians may have different goals, and that you teach to their goals. Great stuff. Really good questions from Cory, too. Just a lot of fun. Can’t wait for next week.
