Six String Bliss: The Guitar Podcast

Pipes and PT put their seldom-used brains to use and ponder all these gamers pretending to play guitar, the definition of the Standard Stratocaster, and if one man can truly effect rock history.  Plus, with the NAMM show only days away, the boys want to know what YOU want them to cover!

2007 is over, but Pipes and PT still have a couple things to say about it.  It's a double shot of top 5 lists as the boys count off their favorite albums of the year and the best closing tracks of all time. 

The good folks at Searcy-Buchholz Track Works have recently teamed up with Six-String Bliss to release our first Christmas album, and this episode is all about listening to it!  Plus, we mention some music-related charities that could use your help.

Pipes takes a look at the Scratchpad, PT spouts some gear news, and the boys talk about the Queen track and the guitar work of Brian May. 

Pipes and PT take a look at the latest release from Native Instruments and ponder what it could mean for the future.  Is the home recording studio the great new frontier or the great new money pit (hint: it is both). 

Well rested after a longer-than-average podcast hiatus, Pipes and PT spout off their top five opening tracks, solve all the problems of a major guitar manufacturer and partake in the some listener voicemail. 

In this new media world, a player can upload a video and let thousands of people rate their skills. Is it a proving ground for the next generation of guitarists or a distraction from real world experience? Plus the ProTone contest winner revealed!

Pipes and PT celebrate Halloween with mangled top five lists, a GoW who plays a coffin and some frightening tales.  Plus, Dennis from Pro Tone Pedals is back, and he wants to give you a free pedal!

Pipes and PT call their metal roots into question with thier picks for Guitarist of the Week and their current listening habits, PT revisits his disposable guitar concept and Pipes plans his first album!  

In this podcast, Pipes and PT chat with Dennis Mollan about inspiration, rock stars and designing killer pedals priced for mere mortals.  Also, we get old-school with our GOW, ponder nonguitarists,  and announce a new contest!

Pipes gets in touch with his rockabilly roots, PT proposes the creation of a disposable guitar and the guys plan how to best cultivate the next generation of guitarists.  Podcast gold, I tell you!

Pipes and PT take a look at the dilema of the happy song, get stoked about the upcoming Christmas album, continue the guitar relicing debate and Pipes confronts the slippery problem of the pick slide. 

This episode will leave you wondering how we can cram so much guitar talk goodness into one podcast!  Pipes pulls out a GoW PT's never heard of, PT has a hat trick of DVD reviews, and we premier a bliss-tasic new supergroup forged in the a great internet community and birthed in the fires of rock!

Pipes manages to keep his head above water long enough to bring you another excellent guitar podcast!  PT brings a controversial GOW, the boys discuss playing by ear and much more!

Guitars.  Yeah, we all love em.    But what if you could have any five guitars in the world, and only those five, for the rest of your life.  What would they be?  Pipes and PT have picked theirs.  How about you?

Pipes and PT take a look at the Evel Knievel of acoustic guitar, the hows of finding a great guitar tech and the ethics of the bonus track.
