That Pedal Show – Josh Smith Pedalboard & Guitar Lesson!
Published on Feb 16, 2018
Duration:
1:15:37
In this episode we welcome incredible musician/solo artist and all-round diamond geezer, Josh Smith to That Pedal Shed. We’ve admired Josh’s breathtaking guitar skills and musicality for a number of years now. Dan recently put together his flying board that he uses when touring… which is exactly what he was doing during February 2018, when he was good enough to drop in, talk us through the board AND give us all an invaluable set of guitar lessons to boot!
For more on Josh, please head to http://www.joshsmithguitar.com/
If you want to buy his latest record, Over Your Head, it’s available in all the usual places, including on VINYL!

We must also say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to the supremely talented and humble Ariel Posen who was on tour with Josh. Ariel was very sporting for a little gag during this video, and played some beautiful guitar too. Thank you Ariel – we owe you one buddy!
Please enjoy the video…
