Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 621 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - String secrets, Brian gets a surprise gift, and sniffing out the fakers

Brian goes all ASMR and Richard and Blake experience some potentially extraterrestrial weather coincidences. Richard gives us an update on his new Silver Sky. TLDR: He loves it but is an idiot. Brian suggests that he may need to use a Ford F-150 for stretching strings.

We touch on "that" cease and desist story once more because there is a bit of an update. Richard has been building pedals and stuffing boxes and thinks he may have grown as a person. Brian received an unexpected gift from Josh Scott and he was bowled over. Meanwhile, Blake's wife has developed exquisite tastes.

Brian has discovered a new album and he and Richard are becoming massive glam rock fans. Richard thinks we all need to listen to our inner child more and Brian has a big confession. He has also been enjoying the videos of Danny Sapko and the guys discuss the trend of "AI fakery" that is currently prevalent.

Wangdanging, Grandpa's Cough Medicine, Purple Ohm Update, Richie Kotzen, RUSH, The Higsons... it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!
