Well, hey there, thanks for checking out this brand new guitar show.

And before we go even one step further, check out this open e chord.

Man, that just sounds alive.

Sounds like Hendricks being pulled through a modern-day humbucker with an impossibly wide range of harmonics and sustain.

In fact, if you know your guitar heroes, that sounds like it could only be Mr. Joe Satriani,

our very first guest on the very first episode of, wait for it.

No, guitar is safe.

Okay, thanks for letting me play around with the helicopter noise there.

If you're like me, you're a guitar player and you like cool noises. But that helicopter bit is kind of a metaphor for what this show is,

because, well, the show is that copter in the night sky.

With that searchlight, we're out there, and we're going to find you.

Like if you've done something amazing on the guitar, revolutionary,

undeniably cool, if you've made some undeniable contribution to the lexicon of guitar,

well, we want to find you and we're going to interview you. We're going to stick a live mic in

front of you and we're going to put a live guitar in your hands. And through your own words,

with your own voice and your own fingers, you're going to tell us and show us how you did it,

how you created that sound, how you put in all those dues,

how like Joe Satriani you never gave up.

I think I was losing about maybe seven, eight grand a week.

How you got through all that to create your sound.

We want to know.

And in case you're wondering who the heck I am, my name is Jude Gold.
