No guitar is safe.

Hey, welcome to no guitar is safe.

My name is Jude Gold.

This is a guitar podcast.

You plug in with great guitar players.

My only goal here is to bring you with each episode an amazing guitar player.

That killer jam you're hearing is called Alpha 4. It's released by Pearl Lion. In other

words, by Jared Sharp, the man who is also known as Pro Lion. The man who you may

have seen on Saturday Night Live on the house band for the last nine years and counting, fantastic

guitar player. And the song is called Alpha 4. We'll get into how he created that. We'll also get

into what it's been like to be in the S&L band for all these years. I've always had mad respect for him.

Well, I shouldn't say always.

I think I kind of got to know Jared through James Valentine on Facebook.

James, of course, is the great guitar player, Maroon 5 from episode three of this very podcast.

You definitely want to hear that one if you haven't heard it yet.

Great stories, great playing, great songs.

James' life has been incredible and he's very inspiring.

And also, James, what a bro again.

He's always just a total bro.

This time he let me and Jared jam out in his living room in his wonderful house.

I'm playing through a divided by 13 head that is such a

killer amp that there's a funny story that we wrote about in Guitar Player magazine a while
