162 - Prashant Aswani Rocks Out on His New Charvel Signature Model and Drops Two Singles

Author: Jude Gold April 1, 2023 Duration: 1:08:48
Guitar virtuoso PRASHANT ASWANI has worked with everyone from HERBIE HANCOCK to JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, but it's on his solo material (you'll hear TWO brand-new singles from Prashant on this episode — BEFORE they're released!) that Prashant's guitar personality really comes through. For this episode, host JUDE GOLD "flies the 'copter" up to Prashant's badass guitar lair in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Prashant plugs in his new Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal PA-28 signature-model solidbody and plays for you, jamming with Jude throughout the show. This episode is presented by GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE and GUITARPLAYER.COM. Guitar Player — "Play better, sound better." Special thanks to G7th Capos for the special Capo gift we give Prashant at the end of this episode. KEEP IT ALIVE 'TIL YOU'RE 95, y'all!

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.
