Oh man was this fun!
I met Jacob for the first time when he walked into Soundmaker Post, where I record Teaching in the Arts, and we hit it off immediately. We talk about playing a gig in a chicken coop in Bermuda, drummer Kenny Aronoff, and the difference between conservatory music schools- Jacob went to DePaul University- and the Old Town School.
We really get into it about teaching styles, influences, and the “magic” of taking a class of beginning adult guitar players, and 80 minutes later having them play a song.

I truly enjoyed listening to this podcast. I absolutely love the way Peter interviews Jacob with a mixture of great questions, wisdom, trivia, and humor, and Jacob as a result brings out his rich stories in entertaining fashion.
