I light of the recent Rolling Stone article ranking the greatest guitarists of all time, we thought that we would take some time to ask the question what actually makes these guitarists (as well as the other ignored by the magazine) great?

Topics Discussed:

Loudini: the witch in the well, easy money, no one will save you, talk to me complaining diet update, ltor retrospective,
Mr Pittsburgh:
You don't know how to use the algorithm
You don't know your audience
Spotify is not ripping off artists
Spotify is only one part of an artists overall marketing
Why radio isn't really any better i.e. 12 cents vs .005 cents but much more of a closed system
Record store vs spotify and radio vs spotify
Set and forget mentality
Objective vs subjective curating
Ease and human nature
Being in any business requires a lot of energy
