Welcome Andy Wood
Today in the studio, we have Andy Wood joining us. He's been on our radar screen for a long time, and we're thrilled to have him join us and record a project.
Andy has paid his dues, touring with a whole bunch of people: Rascal Flatts, Gary Allan, LoCash, Sebastian Bach and a host of others. He's released two solo recordings of his own, as well as a live record.
He's an amazing player, a great guy and we're happy to have him recording his new project, ShapeShifter. It's one you'll really dig, so let's check in with Andy and talk a bit about the course!

How It All Started
Andy talks a bit about his roots, growing up in a musical family and starting his journey playing bluegrass on the mandolin as a young kid and teenager.
Inspirations & Influences
Andy talks a bit about transitioning to the guitar, why he picked up the instrument and some of his influences who shaped the way he plays.
What Is Shape Shifter?
Brad and Andy chat a bit about ShapeShifter, and the concept behind the course: taking the minor pentatonic, or any of the tools that we have on the instrument and applying them to any type of rhythm track or playing situation - whether that's rock, blues, country, etc.
Bends & Vibrato
We'll go over bends and vibrato here, looking at how Andy approaches using them in his playing, and why they're essential to being a great guitar player.
About The Course
Before we get into the performances, Brad goes over the format of the course and how it will demonstrate how to use the same techniques and make them work in different settings.
