This week on Jams ‘N’ Cocktails, Brad Brock cranks up the amps and celebrates National Guitar Day the only way he knows how—loud, nerdy, and with a properly garnished cocktail in hand. Joined by co-host Kevin McLoughlin (and a surprise appearance from Tracy), the crew dives deep into the rich, centuries-long history of the guitar—from ancient Mesopotamian stringed instruments to the electrifying innovations of Les Paul and Leo Fender.

But this isn’t just a history lesson. Brad and Kevin swap personal stories about their favorite stage guitars, dream instruments, near-miss vintage regrets, and the magic of finding “the one.” They put their ears to the test in a riff-based round of Name That Tune, debate relic guitars vs. earned wear-and-tear, and even squeeze in a spontaneous guitar lesson packed with blues wisdom and practical theory. Whether you're a seasoned player or just love the sound of a screaming Telecaster, this episode hits all the right notes.
