Exclusive Interview: Andy Schneider on Jamming, Bluegrass, the Blues, and Performing with Confidence!"Andy does a great job of putting himself in the shoes of a beginner and giving them the confidence to go play live."
— Dan Thorpe (Host of the Acoustic Asylum podcast)
Welcome. Here, we have a great interview with Andy Schneider. We had a chat on a whole variety of topics, such as getting ready to play live, bluegrass jamming, how to get started with the blues, and why playing with others is so powerful!
Andy's a super nice chap to chat to, and I found that after this interview, I couldn't help but go have a good ol' jam of my own. I hope Andy and this interview inspire you too!
There’s a lot to enjoy here, especially if you've dreamt of playing live but haven't done so yet. Click below to listen and enjoy!

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!
