Ep. 44 - James Pepper - Guitar Tech

This week we had a lovely chat with James Pepper, guitar tech for Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and formerly with Frightened Rabbit. On top of filling us in on a day in the life of a guitar tech on a major tour and all of the usual gear stuff we love, we also have an important discussion on mental health specifically among artists and crew. We also found time to delve into why Gibsons were good from late the 90s until 2004 or so, turning a Goldtop into a 335, celebrities turning into rockstars, the Banananana Effects Mandala, touring the UK post-Brexit, and 30 foot guitar throws. The ToneTubes giveaway is still live as is our partnership with Access Analog; check the ‘sode for details. While you’re at it go donate to Marigold Project and Tiny Changes. Love.
