Ariel Posen — Tone, Feel, Slide Guitar & Serving the Song

On this episode of The Guitar Hang Podcast, host Jon Stankorb sits down with the incredible Ariel Posen — guitarist, singer, songwriter, and one of the most expressive voices in modern roots and blues-based music.

Ariel is known for his deeply emotional slide guitar work, vocal phrasing that feels inseparable from his playing, and a commitment to serving the song above all else. In this wide-ranging and honest conversation, we dig far beyond surface-level guitar talk.

In this episode, we discuss:
• Developing a personal voice on guitar
• Slide guitar approach, tone, and touch
• How songwriting shapes guitar choices
• Gear philosophy without chasing trends
• Touring, recording, and staying creatively grounded
• Why feel, space, and intention matter more than flash

This episode is a masterclass in musical maturity, tone, and emotional connection, and a must-listen for guitarists, songwriters, and anyone searching for authenticity in their playing.
