Join Jeremy and Rich as the screw around under the guise of discussing all the classic rock news of the day.


For anyone who feels that the best part of a song is often the riff that kicks it off, Classic Guitar Rock is a deep, friendly dive into the music that defined generations. Hosted by Jeremy Lunnen and his co-host J.R., this podcast is a conversation between two genuine enthusiasts who aren't just replaying hits, but unpacking the stories, techniques, and sheer sonic power behind them. The focus is squarely on the guitar-driven sound that roared from the mid-60s through the 80s, from the pioneering blues-rock licks to the soaring solos of the arena rock era. In each episode, they might dissect a landmark album, trace the evolution of a legendary band, or debate the nuances of a particular guitarist's tone and approach. It's like hanging out with the most knowledgeable music fans you know, where the talk naturally veers toward the gear, the production, and the cultural moments that made these records timeless. The tone is less like a lecture and more like a shared discovery, whether they're celebrating a universally adored masterpiece or giving a fresh listen to an underrated deep cut. This is a podcast built for those who want to listen more closely, to understand not just what they're hearing but how it came to be and why it still resonates. You'll find specific, nerdy appreciation for the instrumental passages that often get overlooked, all delivered with a palpable joy for the subject. It's a celebration of the six-string as the engine of an era, hosted by guys who are clearly having the time of their lives talking about it.
