Inspiration for Musicians - featuring Bryan Sutton, Sierra Hull, Stephen Mougin and more

This week’s episode is all about learning to play music.I’ve been listening back to the interviews I’ve done over the past 3 years and so many of them touch on some really core stuff when it comes to being a musician. All of it has helped me at one point or another, so I thought I’d put together a compilation of some of my favourite bits. There’s something in here for everyone, whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been playing for years and just need some inspiration or encouragement.Whether you’ve listened to all of these before, or you’re new to the podcast, this grab bag of ideas and inspiration has something for you, no matter where you are on your musical journey (which is a key theme of these conversations).You’re going to get tips and advice from some of the leading figures in acoustic music and a couple of writers who have amazing insights to share.You’ll be hearing from Bryan Sutton, Sierra Hull, Scott Nygaard and Stephen Mougin, as well as best selling author Oliver Burkeman and author and neuroscientist (and banjo player!) Josh Turknett.You’ll also hear (briefly!) from me.I got so much from listening back to these and I hope you find something to inspire you too.Here are links to the full interviews these came from, in case you missed them, or just want to listen again.Josh TurknettBryan SuttonSierra HullStephen MouginScott NygaardOliver BurkemanHappy picking!Matt Hosted on Acast.
