In what has become a November tradition, Guru Singh – the Fretboard Journal‘s favorite guitar-loving yogi and spiritual teacher – returns to the podcast.
This time around, we hear more about his early days growing up in Seattle, including the now-customized Gibson J-45 that he purchased in the ’50s, used throughout the ’60s as a Reprise Records artist, and still plays today. We talk about his new album, en CHANT ed (out now on all the streaming platforms), working with Seal, and how he defines mantra music.

We also get advice on how to stay positive during stressful times (including the recent election), the importance of inclusion, the history of yoga in the U.S. and so much more.
