Legends still sherd
**Why Make Music… Episode 034: Legends Still Shred**
The guitar isn’t just an instrument—it’s a portal. A sound machine. A weapon. A way of life. And in Episode 034 of *Why Make Music…*, we don’t just discuss the legends who’ve played it—we live through them.
DJ Warm Cookies, our ever-soulful narrator and host, opens this episode with the kind of spoken word sermon that pulls you in by the collar. She asks: Have you ever heard the poetry of a six-string? Have you ever watched someone bend time with a single note? And she doesn’t ask quietly—she declares it.
This episode is about the myth and the mastery of the guitar. From Hendrix’s psychedelic feedback sermons to Santana’s Latin-tinged sustain, from Clapton’s “woman tone” to Slash’s operatic solos—it’s a celebration of every player who has made the guitar weep, wail, and whisper.
And we don’t stop at just the legends. We talk gear. Pedals. Distortion. Delay. Amp stacks and analog warmth. We talk DAWs. Digital plugins. MIDI guitars and latency issues. This is a podcast for musicians and music lovers alike.
Willa May (DJ Warm Cookies) walks us through every evolution—from the early Delta blues slide players to the eight-string experimentalists of modern metal. From funk’s rhythmic scratch to indie rock’s jagged jangle. From fingerpicked nylon-string lullabies to feedback-drenched stage dives.
And then comes ThinkTimm.
His closing monologue is honest, vulnerable, unfiltered. He doesn’t come with gimmicks—he comes with gratitude. Gratitude for those who’ve been listening since day one. Gratitude for the friends who follow, like, subscribe. Gratitude for the growing momentum of his sync licensing push, with positive responses already beginning to surface.
He speaks to the discipline of live musicianship. He speaks to the beauty of organic sound—the kind that doesn’t rely on amplification, but on the emotion behind the fingertips. He touches on mental health, hydration, and finding quiet. It’s a gospel of self-care delivered by a producer who knows how important it is to rest as hard as you work.
This episode shouts out producers Linda Perry and Trent Reznor—because this podcast doesn’t live in a genre box. All music is music. Whether you use FL Studio, Logic Pro, or loop guitar riffs on an Akai MPC, this one’s for you.
We are WDMN. We are ThinkTimm. We are DAMNNATION.
This is not just a podcast. This is a movement. A moment. A place where sound and soul intersect.
Listen. Stream. Share. And if you feel it? Stick around. We’ve only just begun.
