What's up, everybody, and welcome back to Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything.

We're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com.

Today, we've got a pretty different type of episode on Gear 30, and it's a really interesting

one.

Luke Kappa is joining me on this edition of what we are calling Gear Therapy, and our patient, I guess you'd say, is Jason Verlindy,

who is a blister member and the publisher of the guitar magazine, Fretboard Journal. And actually,

today's episode was Jason's idea.

So we'll explain more of what's going on here in just a minute.

But this one is, as I said, a bit of a departure from our normal Gear 30 programming.

But we think you're going to enjoy this one.

And once you get done listening to the episode, if you are an active blister member

and you think you'd like to appear on a future episode of gear therapy, well, just send us an email,

let us know a few of the questions you have, and maybe we'll start doing some more Gear 30 therapy sessions.

I don't know.

Let's see how this goes.

This episode of Gear 30 is presented by one of our favorite apps and one of our most used apps in the world, OpenSnow.
