We’ve got David Tronzo, the master of the slide guitar with us this week. Professor Tronzo has broken the sound barrier on the slide, using extended techniques and a masterful command of the instrument, to extend the reach of slide guitar far beyond the musical idioms most folks typically associate with it, and it has earned him accolades like being voted one of top ten jazz guitarists by Musician Magazine, and one of the best experimental guitarists by Guitar Player.

Berklee Guitar Professor and mulit-instrumentalist Thaddeus Hogarth joins us in this installment of Coffee Talk. He talks about coming to Berklee as an older student, making it as a professional musician, and the endless pursuit of honing your craft.

Ear Training Chair Allan Chase joins us this week to talk about how developing your ear affects all aspects of your musicianship

We are joined by longtime Guitar Professor Robin Stone, who talks about what it was like to come to Berklee in 1979 as a young woman guitarist. Though she talks candidly about the sexism she faced as a young woman in that environment, she also talks about how meeting such challenges head-on helps define who we are and makes us stronger.
