Summary

Whether he’s channeling Duane Allman or Derek Trucks, playing blues bars or baseball stadiums (he’s done the National Anthem for both the A’s and the Giants), JULES LEYHE simply does not stop playing guitar, and his love for the instrument is infectious. Armed with an SG, a mutt Strat, and a custom Tweed amp, Leyhe plugs in with me for an inspiring, extended guitar hang in which we dive into everything from Jeff Beck (Leyhe’s first major influence) to Bonnie Raitt to Buddy Guy to Leyhe’s latest album, titled Your First Rodeo. And get this: Leyhe’s favorite slide has booze in it. (He’ll explain.) For more Jules Leyhe guitar insights, check out his free Ultimate Slide Guitar Master Class and Just Riffin’ interview series, both of which are streamable on his YouTube channel. Big thank you to GUITAR PLAYER and guitarplayer.com for making this episode happen. — JUDE GOLD, host, No Guitar Is Safe
