What Guitar Strap Should You Use? The Kirklees Guitar School Podcast S1 E12

In Episode 12 of The Kirklees Podcast, James and George cover a wide range of guitar topics that mix gear advice, technique tips, and music talk. 

Guitar Straps – We kick off by discussing the importance of a good guitar strap. Whether you're playing live, in the studio, or at home, your strap can affect comfort, control, and posture. We cover strap materials, locking systems, length preferences, and what to look for to avoid shoulder fatigue and neck dive. 

Natural and Artificial Harmonics – Next, we dive into one of the most expressive and ear-catching guitar techniques: harmonics. We explain the difference between natural and artificial harmonics, where to find them on the fretboard, how to execute them cleanly, and how to use them musically in solos and riffs. 

Great Driving Songs – Inspired by road trip playlists, we share our favourite guitar-heavy driving songs—tracks that just feel right when the windows are down and the volume is up. Expect a mix of classic rock, country, blues, and more. 

Audience Questions – As always, we take time at the end of the episode to answer some questions from our listeners about playing, practice habits, and gear. Whether you're into tone chasing, improving your technique, or just chatting music, there's something for every guitarist in this episode.
