Matt Bruck EVH Gear launches Wolfgang Van Halen's SA 126

Matt Bruck started working as Eddie Van Halen’s guitar tech in 1990, and was Eddie’s business partner at the inception of EVH Gear in 2004. After Eddie’s untimely passing in 2020 it was announced that Matt and Wolfgang Van Halen would be running the company, continuing its legacy and looking to the future.
Matt joins us to talk about the launch of the long awaited SA126 - Wolfgang’s own model. The guitar holds a special place in the EVH Gear lineup being the first from-the-ground-up design in some time and is a unique blend of vintage and modern themes.
Matt thoughtfully fills us in on the journey of the guitar from inception to launch, what it means to continue the legacy of EVH Gear and why genius runs in the Van Halen family.

Iconic Albums - Van Halen ’Fair Warning’

Matt, Rob & Gabor check out Van Halen's fourth album, 'Fair Warning'.
This album realised more of Eddie Van Halen's vision of the band in 1981. The resulting tracks showed a darker, edgier side of the band and, although the album was a relatively slow burner, became many a guitar player's favourite VH record.

Adam Miller GSP #224

Adam Miller is back with a fantastic new record and we hear all about it on the Guitar Speak Podcast!
In Adam's words "Beyond Reason is a Guitarist / Songwriter album, if there was such a genre! I began to take note, that most of my guitar playing time was spent writing and creating, rather than practising. This led to me writing multiple albums worth of material the past few years whilst off the road for a while.”
The 8 song album contains elements of blues, jazz, funk, rock, folk, and country and features Miller on electric, archtop, acoustic, resonator, and nylon string guitar. The bass & drums were recorded in Los Angeles by Miller’s now long time collaborators, drummer / engineer / producer Justin Glasco, and bass player Joel Gottschalk. Miller then worked up the tracks through 2022 in his home of Newcastle Australia, between his return to performing and touring dates.

Leo Fender & Les Paul - Friendship and Rivalry with author Ian S. Port

Ian S. Port joins us to discuss his fascinating book "The Birth of Loud" in depth. It is a brilliant read that follows the arms race to electrify the solid body electric guitar - a race spearheaded by Les Paul and Leo Fender. 
“A hot-rod joy ride through mid-20th-century American history. With appropriately flashy prose, [Port] dismantles some misconceptions and credits some nearly forgotten but key figures. He also summons, exuberantly and perceptively, the look, sound, and sometimes smell of pivotal scenes and songs. The Birth of Loud rightfully celebrates an earlier time, when wood, steel, copper wire, microphones and loudspeakers could redefine reality. Tracing material choices that echoed through generations, the book captures the quirks of human inventiveness and the power of sound.”
John Pareles, New York Times Book Review.
