Ep 125: The Gear Trap: How Songwriters Hold Themselves Back

from Songwriting For Guitar Podcast · host Mike Meiers

Black Friday is here, but before you smash that “Add to Cart,” let’s talk. In this episode, Mike breaks down the real trap most songwriters and producers fall into this weekend, buying more gear instead of getting better. If you’ve ever convinced yourself that a new plugin, pedal, or shiny piece of equipment would finally “unlock your creativity,” this episode is a must-listen. You’ll also learn how to reflect on past Black Friday decisions so you can shop smarter, grow faster, and make choices that actually support your creative journey.
