Welcome to the “Tweed Couch: Guitar Therapy Session” where we talk about all things guitar related. Dr. T is NOT a licensed therapist but he play's one on a Podcast. Join him and his friends as they discuss the thoughts of a guitarist and the decisions that are made.
Occasional co-hosts: Jason Cornelius, John Dougherty, Lloyd Garrelts, Chris Swinney, Owen and Paul Tietjen, Andrew Barber, Beth and Jeromy Dorsing, and Nick Dell.
Sometimes songwriting comes so easy. I sit on the couch… grab my guitar… and within a couple hours I have what seems like a finished product. But most of the time… that’s not the reality. A matter of fact it seems like ALL THE TIME that’s not the reality.
Of Course there are many factors in the process of songwriting that can make it difficult to even start. Like finding the time, transferring my thoughts to paper, or even seeing the point in writing at all.
But… What makes a song great? How long does it take to write a song? Can just anybody do it? What is a hook and how do you find it? Does everyone get writer's block? How do you keep a song going? When do you know the song is finished?... and the gear… what do you need to write a song? Well we will discuss this, and more on this VIDEO PODCAST group therapy session with Swags, on the Tweed Couch

138- Straps & Straplocks/ Decades of Fail (Jason)
Guitar straps are an understated accessory. Whether your strap is flashy or blends in… extra thick or super thin… Really short or really long… Made of animals or made of plastic. Your choice says a lot about you, your comfort, and your guitar.
Of course how you attach that strap is important too. Some like to simply slide them over the buttons. Others like to attach them using items around the house. Some like their straps attached to a full blown mechanism…
But… How many straps do I need? Which material is the best? Is there something I should shy away from? What do professional artists use? How much is too much money to spend on a strap? What about locks? Is there a perfect straplock out there? How do you hook it on an acoustic? Do I have to change the strap buttons? Will it hurt its value? And… horror stories… What happens if the guitar falls off the strap while you are playing?
Well we will discuss this, and more on this VIDEO PODCAST group therapy session with Jason, on the Tweed Couch.

137- St. Louis Guitar Shops (Lloyd)
It is not everyday that you get to go to a stellar guitar shop. It is not everyday that you get to go with a friend. It is not everyday that you get a great story and it is not everyday that you get VIP treatment… and today all of this came true and it came true at nearly all six guitar shops in the St. Louis area.
But why was I in St. Louis? Did I buy any new gear? What kind of VIP treatment are we talking about? Did I need an appointment? What do they keep in the backroom? What do they keep in the basement? Can I just walk into a luthier’s shop? Should I get a tetanus shot? Who is Obeid Kahn? Are K-Line guitars anygood? What happens when Lloyd plays a Murphy Lab for the first time˙? And Chainsaw’s in a guitar store… is Jakyl in town?
Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Lloyd, on the Tweed Couch.
