199 | Steve Lukather Releases Star-Studded Album SANTAMENTAL ... Again!
With help from SLASH, EDDIE VAN HALEN, STEVE VAI and, believe it or not, SAMMY DAVIS Jr. as well as MICHAEL LANDAU, EDGAR WINTER, and his own son, TREVOR LUKATHER, the great STEVE LUKATHER has released the ultimate guitar-heavy holiday album: SANTAMENTAL, which features inspired re-imaginings of Christmas carols and other holiday staples — plus a couple of original tunes! — performed by Luke and his all-star cast. Actually, the album was originally released in 2003, but soon became “unobtainium” when it fell out of print. But starting today, thanks to Tossed Salad Man Records/MRI, SANTAMENTAL is back, and you can hear the record on digital streaming services. Better yet, you can “buy physical.” That’s right: CD and vinyl versions of SANTAMENTAL are available on stevelukather.com, and all artist proceeds — digital and physical — go to help the Ed Asner Family Center, which helps neurodivergent children thrive. Always up for a new guitar adventure, for this interview I “landed the ‘copter” on a busy Los Angeles street and set up the mics in a setting, that, in my 11 years of podcasting, I’ve never braved before: a crowded restaurant. This “lunch with Luke” episode is an extensive, deep, and — as is always the case with Lukather — wonderfully uncensored hang, as you'd expect the case to be with famously unfiltered solo artist, superhero session king and lead guitarist of TOTO and RINGO STARR, and we cover many, many topics and enjoy many laughs. In fact, it’s more than a half an hour in before we, in great detail, begin diving into SANTAMENTAL. Enjoy! And please join me in thanking Guitar Player and GuitarPlayer.com for making this interview happen. — JUDE GOLD, host and creator, No Guitar Is Safe

Reflections on Deep Purple Tour PLUS an Encore of Simon McBride’s 2022 Interview
Simon McBride is one of the most exciting guitarists in the arena rock realm. As guitarist for Deep Purple (taking over after Steve Morse wrapped up his astounding 28-year tenure with the band in early 2022), Simon has given the British rock legends a fiery new guitar voice on everything from classic hits such as “Hush” and “Highway Star” to brand-new singles including “Arrogant Boy” and “Diablo.” In this episode I first relive the recent Canada/U.S. tour that I, as a member of Jefferson Starship, was lucky to be on with Deep Purple — my third in five years! — including playing for you a recent live recording I made of Simon’s astounding guitar cadenza in Calgary, Alberta on August 31. Then, I power up the time machine and take you back to a big backstage room at Rudolf Weber Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, to hear an encore of the great interview we did there on November 2, 2022. Catch Deep Purple on tour all over Europe starting late September! Huge thanks to GuitarPlayer.com for making this episode happen.

198 | Tommy Alderson — Killer Player, Killer Tech (for Deep Purple, the Dregs, Steve Morse Band)
Can you play the secret "Tommy Alderson chord"? (This juicy power chord is MONEY!) Are you hip to the awesomeness that is a wet/dry rig? Want insight into one of the most badass classic rock bands still touring (Deep Purple) and their two great guitarists of recent decades (Simon McBride and Steve Morse)? Well, hit play! Tommy Alderson and I have been friends since my first tour (I play with Jefferson Starship) supporting Purple all over Europe, and now, as the bands unite for their third tour (Canada and the U.S.), it is the perfect time to release two interviews/guitar hangs I have done with Tommy, Purple's great guitar tech who also happens to be a great player — as you'll hear, from his work on D Corridori's album Feed the Right Wolf and other projects. The first interview you'll hear took place just before we left for this tour; the second takes us back in time to a great guitar hang/jam/interview that took place backstage at a huge arena we played in Oberhausen, Germany, in November 2022. Enjoy, and be sure to check out GuitarPlayer.com, who made this episode possible. —JUDE GOLD, host/creator, No Guitar Is Safe

197 | Rangga Ringrose Plugs In
Winning Nuno Bettencourt’s “Play With Me” challenge at the age of 14 — and catching my attention just two years later at a semi-secret guitar event in Los Angeles — RANGGA RINGROSE has a fiery brand of shred guitar that is turning heads. He even caught the ears of Mr. Paul Reed Smith, who has made the young Southern California guitar phenom an endorsing artist. Now, having reached the whopping age of 17, Rangga becomes the youngest player ever to be featured on No Guitar Is Safe podcast, where, as you’ll hear, he blazes on various PRS guitars for you, as I try to figure out how he became so good so fast.

Steve Stevens [ENCORE] and a Report from Lakefront Music Festival
Two weeks ago I opened for BILLY IDOL — who, of course, was joined on stage by his forever guitarist STEVE STEVENS. This was a fun outdoor concert at the Lakefront Music Festival in Minnesota. It was great to say hi to Steve backstage for a minute, and super inspiring to watch him dazzle the the crowd with his great guitar playing — so inspiring, in fact, that I figured we ought to revisit this epic guitar hang from the summer of 2016 at his then-Los Angeles studio, where he plugged in, played his ass off, and showed us how he and Billy Idol forged one of the greatest singer/guitar player partnerships in rock history.

196 | Blues Great Kirk Fletcher Returns
KIRK FLETCHER ’s dedication to all things blues related is infectious. He’s so great at playing blues guitar, I swear, just LISTENING to him play can make you a better blues player yourself. And, luckily for you, he plays a ton of guitar for you on this new interview. (Bonus: As you’ll hear in the middle of the episode, we DO revisit the juicy blues shuffles he showed us during his first appearance on No Guitar Is Safe several years ago.)

ENCORE | Elliot Easton 2018
Let’s flashback to 2018, in the weeks after ELLIOT EASTON and THE CARS were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and we recorded this guitar deep dive and career retrospective with Easton in his home studio. On this episode Elliot plugs in and shows you exactly how he created iconic guitar parts that helped the Cars score many high-charting hit albums and singles. Elliot also shares music from his band, THE EMPTY HEARTS, and reflects on what he learned tracking Cars guitar parts with super-producers such as ROY THOMAS BAKER and ROBERT JOHN "MUTT" LANGE. Presented by Guitar Player magazine and guitarplayer.com. Hosted by JUDE GOLD — who, at the beginning of this episode, shows you how he recorded the guitar solo on Jefferson Starship’s forthcoming single.

195 | Charlie Hunter Returns with a Brand New Bag of Grooves!
Charlie Hunter’s love of all things groove-related is infectious — and after you take in this deep guitar hang and jam with the prolific 6-, 7-, and 8-stringer (Charlie’s custom bass/guitar hybrid instruments are always evolving) you’ll likely be inspired to take the art of “lockin’ it in the pocket” to a higher level in your own playing. Additionally, we dive deep into such musical topics as melodic phrasing, why Charlie keeps his iPhone in mono audio mode, his amazing new album with Ella Feingold (called Different Strokes for Different Folks), which single rock band he feels truly knows how to groove, and which guitar player knocked him out (literally!) when he was 12 years old. I was thrilled to record this episode at Earthtones Recording Studio in Greensboro, NC, with producer/engineer Benjy Johnson at the console. Thanks to GuitarPlayer.com for making this episode happen.
