103 - Scott Henderson

Author: Jude Gold December 4, 2019 Duration: 1:55:54
Sharing ways to push fuzz pedals into glorious sonic mayhem, offering soloing secrets, and revealing the sonic recipes behind his new album, PEOPLE MOVER, legendary fusion guitarist SCOTT HENDERSON plugs in for a deep dive into his playing approaches. He also reflects on his adventures with Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul, and other music legends. Presented by VIBES HI-FIDELITY EARPLUGS, this episode takes place at Henderson’s Los Angeles recording studio, where, from the first moment of the interview, the guitarist/composer treats host JUDE GOLD -- and you -- to some of the best single-coil-pickups-through-a-Marshall tones you’re likely to hear anywhere. Vibes Hi-Fidelity Earplugs (as seen on Shark Tank) are discreet, reusable earplugs designed for musicians and concertgoers. Unlike standard foam earplugs that block and muffle sounds, Vibes reduce the volume of loud live music to a safer and more comfortable level, while still allowing you to hear every note clearly.

Hosted by guitarist and journalist Jude Gold, No Guitar Is Safe is a podcast that strips away the studio polish and gets to the raw, electric heart of what makes a great player. The premise is simple and compelling: invite a renowned guitarist to sit down, plug into an amp, and just play. This isn't a heavily produced showcase but a living room session where technique, tone, and the stories behind the riffs take center stage. You'll hear the unvarnished sound of fingers on strings, the crackle of tube amps, and spontaneous conversations that flow from a shared love of the instrument. Each episode feels like you've pulled up a chair in Jude's studio as he and his guest-often a veritable guitar hero-discuss influences, dissect iconic licks, and trade ideas in real time. The conversation is always grounded in the music being made at that moment, offering a rare, intimate look at the creative process. For anyone who has ever wondered how a certain solo was conceived or what gear unlocks a particular sound, this podcast provides a direct line to the source. It’s a celebration of guitar craft in its most essential, plugged-in form, where every note and every story reminds you why the instrument continues to captivate.
