Exclusive Interview: Brian Sherrill On The Blues, Jamming, And Playing Guitar For Life!"If Clapton was a guitar tutor, it would be Brian. He embodies that spirit of the blues wonderfully."
— Dan Thorpe (Host of the Acoustic Asylum Podcast)
In this episode, we've got the great Brian Sherrill from Active Melody on. He's one of my favourite guitar tutors around. His teaching is wonderful and his playing is an absolute joy to listen to.
In this episode we're talking about a whole range of topics such as the importance of going "deep" in your playing, why the E chord is his favourite, and tips for getting the most out of yourself on your journey.
It was a real pleasure to chat with Brian. Enjoy the episode!

I have never listened to a podcast before. The Acoustic Asylum is my very first Podcast and I love it! Super helpful and supportive to my guitar journey and very funny. I love your stories, jokes, and comparisons, especially the old movies and shows.
I am so glad I have followed you the past few years! Everything you do, the academy, email posts, podcast, eBooks, and hard copy books, have been tremendous support and I have learned and progressed so much with guitar AND theory. Thank you for all you do and offer!
