Gainstaging and other Patreon Questions

On today's episode, Rhett, Zach, and Addison dig into a stack of Patreon questions: how to properly gainstage your drive pedals into an amp without going harsh and farty, whether the Jazzmaster's bridge design cost it the throne from the Stratocaster, and the non-gear skills every guitar player should be building (learn to solder, learn to play bass, record yourself). Plus, an update on our live show at Fretboard Summit in Chicago, and we rate a viewer's rig — and it does not go well./
