National Guitar Day: Iconic Riffs, Dream Guitars & The Songs That Changed Music

Send us Fan MailThis week on Jams ‘N’ Cocktails, Brad Brock cranks up the amps and celebrates National Guitar Day the only way he knows how—loud, nerdy, and with a properly garnished cocktail in hand. Joined by co-host Kevin McLoughlin (and a surprise appearance from Tracy), the crew dives deep into the rich, centuries-long history of the guitar—from ancient Mesopotamian stringed instruments to the electrifying innovations of Les Paul and Leo Fender.But this isn’t just a history lesson. Brad and Kevin swap personal stories about their favorite stage guitars, dream instruments, near-miss vintage regrets, and the magic of finding “the one.” They put their ears to the test in a riff-based round of Name That Tune, debate relic guitars vs. earned wear-and-tear, and even squeeze in a spontaneous guitar lesson packed with blues wisdom and practical theory. Whether you're a seasoned player or just love the sound of a screaming Telecaster, this episode hits all the right notes.LinksJNC Officialhttps://www.jncpodcast.comSupport us on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/jncpodcast
