Adam Miller is back with a fantastic new record and we hear all about it on the Guitar Speak Podcast! In Adam's words "Beyond Reason is a Guitarist / Songwriter album, if there was such a genre! I began to take note, that most of my guitar playing time was spent writing and creating, rather than practising. This led to me writing multiple albums worth of material the past few years whilst off the road for a while.” The 8 song album contains elements of blues, jazz, funk, rock, folk, and country and features Miller on electric, archtop, acoustic, resonator, and nylon string guitar. The bass & drums were recorded in Los Angeles by Miller’s now long time collaborators, drummer / engineer / producer Justin Glasco, and bass player Joel Gottschalk. Miller then worked up the tracks through 2022 in his home of Newcastle Australia, between his return to performing and touring dates. https://www.adammiller.com.au/ http://www.guitarspeakpodcast.com/e/adam-miller-gsp-80/ http://www.guitarspeakpodcast.com/e/adam-miller-us-adventures-and-a-new-record-gsp-141/   This episode is brought to you by Fretboard Biology    Fretboard Biology - the online guitar college created by Joe Elliott, ex Head of Guitar at GIT and McNally Smith Music College.

Happy Birthday to Mr Michael Schenker! We celebrate by replaying our conversation with the German shred master. Happy Birthday MS and KEEP ON ROCKIN'! Michael Schenker is one of the most influential rock guitarists on the planet with players such as John Petrucci, Kirk Hammett and Randy Rhoades citing the German born guitarist as an inspiration. Schenker rose to fame through his fiery playing in The Scorpions and UFO in the '70s and '80s. And whilst a host of offers from artists such as Aerosmith and Ozzy Ozbourne were extended, Schenker has always been happiest following his own muse. Schenker joins us to reflect on 50 years of high octane rock and a new album, Immortal, that celebrates this milestone. We also discuss his approach to guitar tracking, working with Jim Marshall on an unfinished project which Schenker believes led to the JCM800 series, the history of the legendary 'cocked-wah' tone and more.   This episode is brought to you by Fretboard Biology - the online guitar college created by Joe Elliott, ex head of guitar at GIT and McNally Smith Music College.
