Indie Artist Q&A - John Connearn - Guitarist

Author: Tim Morris March 25, 2025 Duration: 36:35

I was fortunate to get the chance to chat with John Connearn, aka Digital John, from Andertons Music!

John has an incredible background in the music industry—not only as a musician and producer of masterful songs and instrumentals but also through collaborations, product reviews for Andertons Music, and gear demos for Neural DSP.

We listen to a couple of John's new music tracks where he explains the instruments used, the recording techniques and how he achieves that super clean production.
