    How to Coach a Band with Stephen Mougin (Sam Bush Band/Dark Shadow Recording)
    Apr 23 2024

    My guest this week is Stephen Mougin, guitarist in The Sam Bush Band and founder of Dark Shadow Recording.

    In this episode we talk about Stephen's work as a band coach. We chat about his training as a vocal teacher, what bands should be working on, including how they should be rehearsing, why preparing for the studio isn't really all that different from preparing to play live and how to listen to music in order to learn from it.

    There are so many fascinating insights that will be invaluable to bands and individual musicians, as well as to music fans who just want to understand more about the music they listen to.

    To find out more about Stephen's band coaching, check out the band coaching video on his website or visit www.stephenmougin.com

    There's also plenty of info on Stephen's studio and record label at

    Happy picking!

A Very Helpful Tool

Matt Hutchinson has brilliantly (and I am sure painstakingly) recorded the rhythm, lead, and even a jam track on guitar for many standard fiddle tunes that any jack can pick up and learn! And if you are a slow learner like me you can slow down the rate of every note using the feature in Audible. Lots of fun, expand your bluegrass "tone poems"! Thanks again, Matt! Cheers
