Strum and Strumber

No one can fix your playing but you. 
We’re not teaching you how to play guitar — we’re challenging you to become better.

Each episode: a legendary guitar moment becomes the one-take challenge — plus a guitar game and whatever musical trouble we get into trying to survive.

We challenge each other to learn the part, then come back and play it together — whether it’s brilliant, embarrassing, or deeply concerning. One take. No edits. No do-overs.

Hosted by two Berklee-battered, tone-hardened veterans still learning the hard way. 

We occasionally get to play these challenges with the guitarists who wrote them — like Paul Gilbert.

We’ve also tackled legendary guitar moments from players like Jeff Beck and Django Reinhardt.

We break down the myths, habits, and gear delusions that keep guitarists stuck — because let’s be real: your amp sounds fine… it’s you.
