What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Been watching/listening since episode one. Love the topics and conversations and though some people don’t dig them getting off topic, I like it. They’re human and like all kinds of stuff besides guitar…like we all do. The addition of Addison really rounded things out and I always look forward to the latest episodes.

Corykb83 · Aug 2026

I’ve been enjoying these! I’ve only recently subscribed, which means Premier Guitar is doing their job. Great discussions with Bonamossa and PRS. I have a couple suggestions you might find helpful: 1. The podcast audio is very quiet. I normally turn my car stereo volume to 15 for podcasts and I had to turn yours up to 25 to get the same volume. Some compression and limiting would go a long way! 2. (With tongue in cheek:) Aside from the fact that I have no f’in clue what a Shoyal (spelling??) is, and it seems kinda nerdy to not just use points or stars or something, to “dip a rig” sounds rather…suggestive. Imagine, for instance, another big hit single by that name from Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. Keep ‘em comin.

Dr. Romero Bond · Dec 2022

Zach and Rhett have a great rapport and choose a wide array of great topics to discuss. The show is a great listen for your drive to work. Only complaint is that they are both busy people, which means there is a week missed here and there.

MRose0906 · Apr 2022

This is a plain Jane honest podcast. Rhett and Zach never pull punches on their reviews of gear and the dip your rig segment is always fun. Topics are relevant. I met Rhett in real life and he was kind and great to chat with. Also the Southern Redneck bit is gut busting funny.

TSalak112 · Mar 2022

For Rhett to address Lars as “not a real drummer,” is an example of a fool making a blanket statement without context and thought. There would be no Metallica, or at the least would be a very different band without the influence Lars had on Hetfield in the early stages of their musical relationship and journey

Scott XD · May 2025

I really enjoyed some of the episodes before they joined Premiere Guitar where Zach and Rhett would just discuss individual topics. Dipping listeners rigs was an interesting portion of the show as well. They are not great at interviewing guests, but that seems to be a consistent approach to episodes now.
