Two guitarists enter. The crowd decides who walks away with bragging rights.
This week on Riffs & Rhythms, Paul and Kevin are joined by Moth to talk about the return of Kevin’s Guitar Slinger Shootout and the old-school tradition of “head-cutting” sessions — when musicians went head-to-head and let their playing determine who came out on top.
Kevin explains where the idea came from, how the competition works and why the upcoming battle with Apostoli Floyd is more than two bands playing another gig. Each guitarist gets a chance to perform with their own band before the two go toe-to-toe, with the audience ultimately deciding the winner.
Along the way, we get into guitar technique, protecting your hands as a musician, the legendary Crossroads guitar battle, supporting original music and what makes a live event something people want to experience again.
Then the conversation takes a turn into social media, AI and what happens when musicians spend years building an audience on a platform they don’t actually own. Kevin shares the story of losing his Facebook presence and thousands of followers — and why he's now thinking differently about the relationship between artists, algorithms and their fans.
Add in some Bob Dylan, AI-generated music, podcast business talk and the usual Riffs & Rhythms inappropriate detours, and you've got another episode that goes exactly where you'd expect it to go:
