Guitarist Andy Pitcher promised himself that he would make a solo album before he turned 30. With just a few days to spare, the experimental/improvising guitarist recently released ‘dot,’ a beautiful album featuring great playing, a wide array of guitars – acoustic and electric – and some truly unique recording techniques.
On this week’s Fretboard Journal Podcast, we talk about the record, his wild recording process, the gear he used (including his trusty Line 6 DL4).
It’s a fun chat with a truly innovative musician.
