About Anti-Heroes with Zach Blair
Anti-Heroes with Zach Blair is a podcast about guitar players that aren't on the covers of the guitar magazines but our host, Zach Blair thinks they should be. Each episode we'll have discussions with players about their motivations, intentions and, best of all, their gear. We'll talk about their careers and how they express themselves in the constantly changing world of guitar music. Anti-Heroes is hosted by Zach Blair, a lifelong guitar obsessive with a career spanning almost thirty years. From his early days in Hagfish that he started with his brother on to the world renowned shock rock musical theater that is GWAR to currently recording and touring in Chicago's Rise Against for the last 15 years. Zach is still searching when it's comes to guitar playing and always will be. Maybe he'll find some answers right here on Anti-Heroes.

It alters the tone a little bit. Right. Like if I just do it straight, it's fine. If I just go into the standard, which is the one – there's two of them. It's the one in the back. If you do both of them, you can get a cool tone and jack with it, but I think you get a better, cool, old-school Rick tone if you just go standard. […]
