A more than slightly geeky look at the world of The Guitar - speaking with the people who make them, and the players who break them. We’ll also be branching out into other, related spheres of guitars and music - songwriters, players of other instruments, tech guys, TV and Film composers, people at the business end - basically anyone who has something to do with the music industry and will make for an interesting conversation, but with a focus on guitars, players and luthiers and other guitar gear builders.I'm Ben Smith , one half of the guitar picking, harmony singing songwriting 'Americana' duo Smith & Brewer. (www.smithandbrewer.com) I love guitars, music and songwriting, and I'll be chatting to others who feel the same.
