Jocelyn Gould Talks Jazz Guitar Playing & Tone [Plus Benedetto & Two-Rock Tonal Bliss!]

We get schooled in the art of true dedication to music, tone and jaw-dropping guitar playing Welcome to the show! It is our great pleasure to welcome Juno-award-winner, music professor, stellar guitar player, captivating singer and all-round awesome human, Jocelyn Gould to That Pedal Show. Jocelyn was in Europe doing some live dates, during which she dropped in to see us. What followed was a masterclass in learning and dedication to the instrument, a whole heap of inspiring advice and, of course, some utterly wonderful playing and singing. Huge thanks to Jocelyn for taking the time, and also to our good friend Michael Watts for helping glue it all together. Enjoy the show!
