118 - Paul Reed Smith

PAUL REED SMITH plugs in! Presented by BLUE MICROPHONES, the legendary guitar builder grabs one of his Experience 2020 PRS 6-strings, plays it through a PRS tube amp, shows you how he forged his style (he's a great player!), and traces the evolution of his great guitar company, PRS Guitars, back to a moment when he was five years old watching his father struggle to assemble a bicycle.

Paul also details his upcoming Maryland Hall Live Virtual Music School, and reminds you that he'd love to connect with you at this cool online event. Happening August 10th through the 13th, it's a streaming four-day weekend of guitar master classes and coaching sessions from Smith, TYLER LARSON, and TIM PIERCE, plus rhythm section workshops from brilliant players such as DENNIS CHAMBERS and GARY and GREG GRAINGER.
