No, guitar is safe.

What is up, yo? So much going on that I had to do kind of a bonus episode here, in between episodes.

Thanks to guitar player.com, we can do all the episodes we want.

Guitar Player is your place to sound better and play better. Visit

guitar player.com on the regular. You know what to do. Anyway, I'm Jude Gold. Craziest, busiest January

I've probably ever had, but I did put up an episode last week with Eric Gales. I even fit in a trip

to North Carolina to do that interview. So make sure you

check it out and write nice reviews and stuff to help spread the word. Share it with your friends.

Really appreciate that. No guitar is safe. Podcasts the guitar show where guitar heroes plug in.

And then today, wow, so just to catch you up on stuff, the Grammys are happening.

I went to a backstage sort of tour, a technical tour of the crypto arena, you know, the home

of the Lakers. Giant building gets bigger every time I walk in there. Got to be like 500 luxury

boxes who's just stacked to the ceiling. And then there's

nosebleed seats on top of that. But anyhow, walking around the whole place, all these risers

for all the different artists that are going to play, all these different stations, like there's

a team of people that just handle the wireless mics. There's a team of people that handle the

walkie-talkies. There's a team of people that mix the show. That's mind-boggling. We got to go in

these trucks that have so much gear in there and the fanciest mixing desks. It looks like they could

run SpaceX and two incredible world-class engineers, Eric Schilling and John Harris.

They mix all the bands. So if you're watching the Grammys,

either one of them will be mixing the band you're seeing. They trade off with each artist that comes on.

So they kind of go, they ping pong back and forth, and they run it. It's all live.
