Emily Wolfe doesn’t play guitar. She bends it to her will. Like a bronco buster taming a stallion, she saddles up on her signature Sheratons and lets it rip. Much of the magic felt and heard on her self-titled debut was pure adrenaline hitting your speaker. And while her second album, 2021’s Outlier, incorporates Wolfe’s love of Motown grooves and modern-pop stickiness refreshening her songwriting with backdrops of more polished, waxy tones, but tumbleweed oscillation, helicopter, square-wave chops, and barbed-wire fuzz are still howls welcomed in this Wolfe pack.
“When I go up there, something could hit me at any point-an emotion that I felt 10 years ago could come out in a bend on the low E. There’s so much rawness [to classic rock]; the edges are not perfect, but there’s a magic in that,” explained Wolfe to PG.
But how do you marry earworm poppiness with a gunslinger’s approach to guitar?
“Some of my rock friends say, ‘Pop isn’t relevant,’ and I’m like, ‘What are you talking about-it’s everywhere!’ It’s so sticky for people, and that’s really fascinating to me. I want my music to have that quality … but also the realness of a raw guitar tone. [With Outlier] I wanted to make something that would be classic 10, 20, 30 years from now,” she told PG in 2021. “That was the goal, and I think we achieved it.”
Before Wolfe’s headlining show at Nashville’s Blue Room (located inside the Third Man Records compound), PG’s Chris Kies joined the shredding songwriter onstage to talk shop. The resulting conversation covers the development behind her Epiphone Sheraton, how a boring night in Cleveland spent with her “Chex-mix crushing, brother-in-tone” bass player Evan Nicholson convinced her play a doubleneck guitar, and we discover what three pedals work together to make what she describes as “the sound that belongs to me.”

Awesome interview guys

[@nickofzo]

Yeah I've got one since 2007 (flame cherry) and have brought it to some shows. But I mostly play it at home or in studio mainly for having a electric 12 string and switch to 6 any time I want. I like to experiment with it but it will never be the main guitar it is just another different tool.

[@mikem4905]

Dude, have you even EVER been to the CLE? Tons to do. Try it sometimes instead of badmouthing Cleveland...

[@scottbubb2946]

I've always heard Page liked the overtones he got by having both going at the same time. I think it would drive me nuts, but what do I know? I could never afford one so it's never been a big problem for me.

[@grayman7914]

Except you didnt say anything about the actual guitar...

[@irotinmyskin]

So, still not being used as a 12 string. What's the point then?
