Ep. 17 Does Gear Matter?

from Earth Tones with Jake Pardee · host Jacob Pardee

Does gear matter? Once you know how to use your tools, a sweet piece of equipment can make all the difference. A nice guitar can be truly inspiring to play, delivering a feel and tone that fuel creativity. However, acquiring high-end gear before you truly understand what makes it great won’t necessarily improve your music. Experience and skill should lead your gear choices. Earn the good gear with your musical experience, so every upgrade truly enhances your sound and playing.
