157: Jordan Rudess - Solo album, LTE3, the writing process & practising
This week the Doctor, Beebee and Smith warmly welcome Dream Theater?s keyboard wizard Jordan Rudess! It?s not often a non guitar player joins the fray, but always hugely enjoyable when it happens :D

Huge thanks to Jordan for his warmth and time coming on the show. This is a wonderful episode for us all, regardless of how many ivories we may or may not have tinkled!

153: Amp Modeler ?Feel? Fixed! No-NAMM special (w/John Cordy)
It?s that time again, the once a year gear episode we allow ourselves. Beebs has solved the ?rubbery slippage? loose feel thing of the Helix, thanks to this week's guest John Cordy.
Things turn towards no-NAMM chat, virtual NAMM chat and the interesting events of the last few weeks.
There?s a surprising amount of questions raised about Californian toilets (restrooms for our American listeners) and Beebee almost lets slip details of Tom?s special NAMM bog.
This weeks? extended Patreon edit is most definitely not safe for work, Jake shares an anecdote and Beebs recounts tales of his stag doo (Bachelor party). Cordy also takes the guys through his insane youtube workload/schedule.

In this week's extended patreon edit Dr Willson gives us a figured bass 101 and the boys discuss slash chords. G over Eeeeeeee damnit?!

140: Remembering Eddie Van Halen, Tom Quayle's New Youtube Lessons
EVH :( Pour one out dear listeners. TGHP doesn?t often 'do a news?, but we can not do an episode without acknowledging, remembering and celebrating a genuine goat. Eddie Van Halen.
