Artur Menezes Interview - Tedx: FOLLOWING YOUR DREAMS

Author: Craig Garber April 19, 2023 Duration: 1:26:52

On this Artur Menezes Interview: Brazilian born Artur Menezes is one of the most talented up-and-coming blues players on the scene. Interviewed a week before he was set to play Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival in Dallas, Artur talks about: Moving from his hometown of Fortaleza to Sao Paolo… and then moving to the states & the challenges in learning a new language and adapting to a new culture

Where his work ethic and pride of ownership came from, burgers, his TedX speech on following your dreams, his parents support and influence, what he misses most, best decision he's had to make, and what's next. GREAT convo, very sincere:

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when a guitarist picks up an instrument, but the real stories often come when they put it down. Everyone Loves Guitar, hosted by Craig Garber, lives in that space. It’s less a formal interview and more like pulling up a chair in a backstage lounge or a quiet corner of a studio. Garber’s guests-celebrity players, revered musicians, and behind-the-scenes industry figures-open up in ways that go far beyond gear and technique. You’ll hear the unvarnished backstories, the pivotal moments that defined their careers, and the personal philosophies that drive them. This podcast digs into the history of the music itself and the people who make it, revealing the life lessons and personal development that come from a lifetime dedicated to art. Each episode feels like a deep, meandering chat with a fascinating friend who just happens to have an incredible tale about life on the road, the creative process, or the sheer joy of a perfect riff. It’s for anyone who believes the guitar is more than wood and strings; it’s a conduit for human experience. Tune in for honest talk about the music, the struggles, and the triumphs that resonate long after the last note fades.
