Turnpike Music Garage - Episode 1 - Part 1

Turnpike Music Garage is a show that gets under the hood of live music. Our host and tech Guru, Don Smith interviews musicians, roadies, sound engineers, technicians, gear vendors and stage managers to get a more in-depth look at what it takes to get great live sound.
In this edition of TMG, Eric Donnelly and Tim Warren, from the band The Alternate Routes, stop by and discuss their latest album, Lately, and get down to some of the important nuts and bolts of songwriting. Frank Barrese visits the garage and shows us how to play the opening riff from Pick Floyd's Wish You Were Here. And finally, Don is on the bench with a power-driven Guitar Tech segment on the right way to restring a bass guitar!
Look for our upcoming episodes where we'll get under the hood of live sound recording; the pros and cons of sequencing; a closer look at how to duplicate some of those famous killer sounds; and much more.
