Podcast 270: Jason Loughlin

Published: Nov. 14, 2019, 6:29 p.m.

On this week\u2019s Fretboard Journal Podcast, we\u2019re talking to guitarist/instructor Jason Loughlin. Loughlin\u2019s latest project is Sound on Sound, a rather unconventional TrueFire course dedicated to teaching the multi-track arranging of Les Paul. Over the course of the lesson, Loughlin walks students through a nine-guitar (!) arrangement of the jazz standard "After You\u2019ve Gone." Though it sounds daunting, Loughlin is able to easily break down and demystify how recordings like this are made and reveal some of Les' favorite tone hacks, like emulating the sound of drums and bass via his six-string guitar.

We also talk to Loughlin about how to encapsulate those classic Les Paul sounds with modern gear, some of Loughlin's other loves \u2013 like early Sun Records recordings \u2013 and much more. \xa0

This week\u2019s Fretboard Journal Podcast is sponsored by Mono and Retrofret Vintage Guitars. Don\u2019t forget to also tune into the Truth About Vintage Amps podcast, which is about to celebrate its first birthday.
