Let it scream? Feedback is waaaaay more important than you think!

Welcome to the show! The tasteful of onset of electric guitar harmonic feedback is surely the very most rock’n’roll of all noises. But it can be an elusive beast, often difficult to conjure and unpredictable when awoken and unleashed. In this show we explore how and why it happens so that you can get a better handle on how to, erm, handle it!

Enjoy the show…

And just in case you were wondering, yes that is Mick’s new 100-watt Marshall & 412. Woooooo!
