On this Joanne Shaw Taylor Interview: How she started gigging at 14, learning to write songs on her own, how music helped heal emotional wounds, losing her mum to breast cancer, dealing with financial low points in her career, her worst gig ever, the naivete of her youth… her main guitars and how she got them… why she doesn't listen to new blues OR guitar music, cooking, reading & the outdoors, why your gigs are never as good or as bad as you think, how she stopped giving a f-ck, Hank, and why it's best if "You do you." LOVELY conversation with a first-class professional who's also a lot of fun

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.
