This week, we are extremely privileged to welcome Richard Shaw on to the podcast. Richard is one of the guitarists in legendary UK Extreme Metal Band, Cradle of Filth and his career over the past 20 years is the product of many years of dedication and hard work. This conversation was a gem, and Richard recounted many experiences from his life as a musician to us, some cherished memories and some horizon expanding philosophies to help us grow not only as musicians, but people too!
As well as being a fantastic guitarist and performer, Richard is also a passionate educator, and you can find his new book Fretboard and Songwriting Theory for Metal Heads (and other genres too): Using 'the secret' to unlock the fretboard and your songwriting potential on Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats here (this is NOT an affiliate link):
