Published: April 23, 2020, 9:19 p.m.

On this episode, Tyler meets with guitarist extraordinaire Marcos Mena of Los Angeles, CA. Marcos is the creator of the self described LA fruit rock band: standards, where he plays a unique style of guitar tapping, riff roaring, math rock music. Tyler & Marcos talk about developing hand independence for the guitar, exploring a whole new side of the instrument with tapping and unique time signatures, and even how obsessing over any skill (even video games) can lead to great outcomes on this fourteenth episode of the Strangers Worth Meeting podcast.
