Episode title and number: S6: E4: Ned Evett -  The Multidimensional World of a Guitarist

The return of Ned Evett, the fretless guitar maestro, marks a special moment as we travel through his recent move to the West Coast and the tales from his experience at Joe Satriani's G4 guitar camp. This episode isn't just an exploration of the captivating sounds of the fretless guitar, it's a journey into the heart of an artist’s evolution, with personal anecdotes from Ned about the places and people that have shaped his music and life. Nashville's musical melting pot has been a part of my own narrative, and I open up about how the city's growth has intertwined with my family's history, providing a poignant backdrop for discussing the broadening horizons of the Music City.

Tuning in, you'll discover the interconnectedness of art forms, as I reveal how my creative outlets extend beyond guitar riffs into the realms of sculpting, painting, and animation. It's a conversation that dives into the life of a musician beyond the stage, showcasing the symbiotic relationship between different mediums of expression. We also share guidance for upcoming artists, balancing the excitement and caution needed to navigate the music industry, and I peel back the curtain on the intriguing process of crafting bespoke instruments for legends like John Frusciante.

Ned and I wrap up with an introspective look at the personal growth that comes from creating music and the joy of interacting with other musicians, peeling layers off the challenges of adopting new tuning methods, and the invention of the clamp slide for fretless guitars. Our chat moves between discussions about the durability and tonal clarity of glass fingerboards, to stories of European tours and the gratification found in working alongside guitar giants. So, strap in for an episode that strikes every chord, from the tactile to the emotional, examining the threads that weave through the life of an innovative musician.
