Halee Smith is a guitarist, entrepreneur, and an all around creative force. She has made waves with her Rockit Music Gear company making some of the coolest guitar straps around, adorable 3D printed pick holders, and also made waves with her collaborative song and music video "Girls Smash Guitars" that got her featured by Guitar World magazine! I hope you enjoy this episode with her as much as I did!

Tune into the 40 Watt Podcast for a grounded, gear-focused conversation about the sounds that shape our world. This isn't just a rundown of news and new releases; it's a deep dive into the tools and techniques that actually create the music. We get into the specifics-the hum of a particular tube amp, the history behind a classic guitar model, the subtle magic of a well-placed effects pedal-and trace how these elements ripple out to influence both contemporary artists and the legendary recordings of the past. Through candid interviews with people who live and breathe music, alongside our own straightforward commentary, each episode connects the technical dots in a way that’s accessible to both players and passionate fans. The 40 Watt Podcast serves as a workshop and a listening room, exploring not only what we hear but how it came to be, making the craft behind the art form the central story. You'll come away with a richer appreciation for the decisions made in the studio and on the stage, hearing your favorite tracks with a new, more informed ear.
