Episode Notes
Oh, we've gone and done it... picked a controversial topic to come back for. Thanks for those sticking around and know that we love the amazing studio guitarists out there. But this is a take on the homogenization of album releases...and whether that is good for music or not (to have the same people playing on all the different albums).
But in other news, thanks to Truefire.com for adding us to their Top 25 Guitar Podcasts of 2022. It appears our "complaining" finally paid off. Ha.
The intro song is from a live performance of Stellar Regions playing "Tricycle" which features an interlude of King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man.

Season 2 Episode 2 interview with master classical guitarist John Marcel Williams. https://www.johnmarcelwilliams.com
A lot of insight in this episode as we talk to one of the rising stars of the classical guitar world, and child prodigy. John talks about studying with some of the best in the business, as well as tips from the greatest players in the world and life as a classical guitarist. Plus we get into competitions and more.
Opening piece performed by John Marcel Williams - Regondi Etude #4
John's Bio: Award winning artist, John Marcel Williams, is establishing a reputation as both a virtuoso concert artist, and devoted teacher. By age 16 he had garnered over 20 prizes at competitions, including the first prize at the Boston Guitar Festival youth competition, Rosario Guitar Festival, Classical Minds Guitar Festival, and the second prize at the international Guitar Foundation of America young artist competition. In addition he was awarded first prize at the James Stroud competition and won the Pittsburgh Concert Society Audition.
John's unique musicality and refined technique can be seen in his performances. He is frequently invited to play and teach at venues across the United States as well as internationally. In 2018, John toured Panama as a guest artist for the Panama Guitar Festival where he not only performed but gave masterclasses and adjudicated for the Panama Guitar Competition. Other engagements include solo recitals at Oberlin College and Moravian College and he was a guest artist for the 2019/20 season of the Philadelphia Classical Guitar Society. John Marcel has made numerous media appearances on various radio and TV programs, most notably performing on NPR’s program, “From the Top,” where he was also awarded the Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award.
Most recently, in 2019 John debuted with the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra led by Maestro John Devlin, performing Elmer Bernstein’s Guitar Concerto. John began to study the guitar at age 10 and his talents were quickly noticed by the late Aron Shearer, who encouraged him to continue his pursuit as a classical guitarist.
John went on to study with Stephen Aron at the Oberlin Conservatory at age 13, under whose guidance he began to gain attention winning competitions across the United States. He also spent a summer studying at the Aspen Music Festival after an invitation from Sharon Isbin, professor of guitar at the Julliard School. Williams started his collegiate studies with Manuel Barrueco at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in 2011, and received both his undergraduate and masters degree in guitar performance. Since the fall of 2018, John has continued his studies at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the tutelage of Grammy award winning artist Jason Vieaux and David Starobin.

Episode Notes
Adam and Tim bring classical guitar performer, teacher, composer, arranger, hustler....Stephen Aron to the show.
We have learned so much from Steve, and continue to.
Steve's Bio:
Described by the New York Times as “cultivated and musical,” Stephen Aron performs regularly throughout the US, Canada and Europe. An active composer and arranger, his work is published by Tuscany Editions (“wonderful guitaristic arrangement,” American Music Teacher), Mel Bay Publications (“historic,” Guitart) and Clear Note Publications (“a book to be ignored at your peril,” Classical Guitar). Clear Note also recently published several of Mr. Aron’s original compositions (“imaginative, adventurous, effortlessly entertaining,” Classical Guitar). He has released thirteen publications, totaling nearly 600 pages of music.
Aron’s recordings have been described as “stunning” (Guitar Review), “superbly produced” (Soundboard), “warmly recommended” (Fanfare) and “inspired” (Classical Guitar). Notably, most of the works on his nine CD’s are either original arrangements, original compositions, or premiere recordings of the works of others. His recordings and publications of thirty Lieder ohne Worte by Felix Mendelssohn and the complete Chopin Mazurkas, both for solo guitar, were industry firsts. Aron’s most recent releases, One Fell Swoop and A Musical Congeries are collections of new original works for solo guitar. He is a dedicated chamber music advocate, and maintains a regular duo with his wife, soprano JoNell Aron, and another with flutist Jane Berkner. He plays frequently with mixed chamber ensembles both traditional and new music.
Aron has adjudicated numerous national and international competitions and has been a repeat guest, giving performances, lectures and master classes at Guitar Foundation of America Conventions, Stetson Guitar Workshops, Portland Guitar Festivals, Eastman Guitar Festivals, Rantucci Guitar Festivals, Alexandria Guitar Festivals, the National Summer Guitar Workshops, the Eastern Carolina University Guitar Festivals, the Sauble Beach Guitar Festivals and the Appalachian Guitar Festivals as well as at the Yale Guitar Extravaganza, the Ithaca College Winter Guitar Festival, the Eastern Tennessee Guitar Festival, the Montreal Guitar Festival, the New York Guitar Seminar, the Miami International Guitar Festival, the Mediterranean Guitar Festival, the Scotland Classical Guitar Retreat, the TAMU Guitar Symposium and others.
Recently, Aron has been a guest at guitar festivals in Iserlohn, Germany and Sorrento, Italy, and has appeared on recital series across Italy as well as in France and Denmark. Aron was Professor of Music at the University of Akron from 1981 until his retirement in 2015; he continues as Teacher of Classical Guitar and founder of the classical guitar studies program at Oberlin, where he joined the faculty in 1992. His blog, located here, is one of the most-read classical guitar resources on the web.

Episode Notes
We first get going on how wearing your emotions on your sleeve can be pretty detrimental to progress, where when it's not too close to you, we find ourselves empowered and successful, but when we're too serious or clouded by ego (like not taking obvious help) we are only hurting ourselves. Then we get into the hardware thing that Paul Reed Smith talks about in a recent guitar writeup. He Discusses how even the hardware makes a huge difference in the sound of the guitar... not just the wood and pickups. He also has a pretty interesting TedTalk on the subject, and the mysterious 21 rules of guitar tone (locked in a box somewhere).

We go even deeper with Matt in this part 2 (final part) of our interview. If you really want to know what it is like inside the mind of creative makers of our world this is even deeper than the first part.
Matt's discography is extremely impressive... and his creativity and mastery seemingly has no bounds. With his main projects like Cleric, iNFiNieN and Shardik to his endless output with John Zorn, in particular Simulacrum(with Medeski, Dunn, Growhowski) and Chaos Magick... Matt is a musician who challenges himself to get uncomfortable and so many things we discuss in this part 1 of our interview with Matt. Music from Cleric's Regressions Album.

Don't think I can beat their bio!
But Spherical Agenda joins us to talk about their latest album coming out November 19th.... and we got a sneak preview and it is really astounding. Fans of amazing music need to check it out. Check out their websites, buy their music/gear etc...etc....
https://www.sphericalagenda.com/
https://sphericalagenda.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/sphericalagenda/
Here's their bio: SPHERICAL AGENDA is a jazz-rock fusion band consisting of the midwest region's top musicians. Hailing from Cincinnati, OH, their sound not only draws from the cutting edge of today's fusion, but harkens back to the reckless abandon and pure energy of groups like Tony Williams Lifetime, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Return to Forever. Featuring Matt Wiles on bass, Brandon Coleman on guitar, Ben Tweedt on keyboards and Devon Leigh on drums, Spherical Agenda is a powerhouse band whose unique chemistry gives rise to infectious grooves, daring solos, and captivating energy. ARCANE WISDOM, the band’s full-length debut album, is an eclectic assortment of compositions featuring diverse musical influences and a sharply-honed skill set. Whether it be their progressive rhythmic explorations or soul-infused grooves, Spherical Agenda consistently pushes the musical envelope while paying homage to their home state’s rich heritage of funk and soul. Despite the all-encompassing nature of their style and sound, the band maintains a singular, identifiable voice, proving themselves to be an up-and-coming force to be reckoned with. Despite the band itself being fairly young, the collective is cultivating an ever-growing list of accomplishments. The band’s members have credits including: performances with the Snarky Horns, The Drifters, Fareed Haque, Grammy-Nominated Dan Pugach Nonet, and Sam Blakelsee Quintet and Large Ensembles, clinics and masterclasses both nationally and abroad, and recording credits such as the television series DC’s Legends of Tomorrow soundtrack and the upcoming “For the Love of King”, a compilation series by the Bootsy Collins Foundation benefiting the restoration of historic King Records.Episode Notes
