What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m really writing this as a thank you. I’ve been on the lookout for an audio-based method for learning practical intermediate-to-advanced guitar skills, which is surprisingly hard to come by. This is exactly what I needed. These guys are funny, engaging and they’re experts with a sense of humility. Also helps that they are fellow Sam Harris devotees. Cheers guys! Thanks for all you do. Personal note: Beebs, episode 52 was one of the most personally meaningful podcasts I’ve ever heard. I’m 38, and having graduated from an American university 15 years ago with an “education” in jazz guitar, I have been in a very similar space for years. Your story literally brought tears to my eyes and gave me hope that as a terminally intermediate player I can still bounce back from equally terminal imposter syndrome to get out there and progress the way I’ve always wanted to, despite what I consider a failed education. Sincerely, thank you for sharing your story.

I have been following these guys since the beginning and just wanted to give a huge thank you to them. The content is always top notch and whether you are new to the guitar or have been at it forever there’s something to learn for everyone. Even after 40+ years with the guitar my playing has enormously improved so it appears “old dogs” do learn new tricks. So again I must say Thank You! - Jon

J Godsun · Aug 2019

I’ve listened to The guitar Hour for a while now and it’s become one of my favorite weekly podcasts, not only are Dan Beebs and Tom amazing insightful players but they’re amazing insightful people. Not only will this podcast help you become a better guitarist, but it will help you realize the value that guitar and music bring to your life in any genre and at any experience level. I get tremendous value from this podcast, and the perspectives shared by these monster players will only serve to broaden your musical horizons by opening doors into new ways of thinking about guitars and music in general. Thanks for making the podcast guys!!
