Leif de Leeuw is a true friend of The Fellowship and, in addition to recording wonderful demos, is now doing his own podcast with us. After the success of the first podcast episode (listen here) Leif & Maarten sit down together again in Dedemsvaart for episode 2 of the podcast. Every episode we choose guitars from our store that have a great story behind them or that are simply awesome. And with those guitars Leif takes us into the world of guitar playing with each episode a new subject! For guitar nerds, by guitar nerds!
In this second installment of our guitar adventure with Leif de Leeuw, Maarten brought along a pair of Eastman guitars. We discuss tone colors, used guitars vs. new guitars and how guitars age over time. Leif has brought some more lessons for Maarten and you to try out, covering inside and outside picking! So grab a coffee, grab your picks or plectrums (depending on where you're listening from) and let's dive in!
Leif de Leeuw Podcast at TFOA #2 | Mahogany vs. Sapele & Outside Picking
In this second episode of the podcast, Leif & Maarten choose two guitars from our store that use other Tonewoods. Together they compare two Eastmans. One with Mahogany back and sides, the other with Sapele back and sides. Can Leif & Maarten finally end the discussion about Tonewoods? 🤔
In addition to this discussion, other topics are covered. For example, Leif shows an interesting Picking Technique and has another exercise for you listeners!
We are curious to know what you think of this podcast and are still looking for a good name 😉 . So if you have any ideas, let us know in the comments on YouTube or comment at the bottom of this page. Have fun!
