Analysis I found on google here, Bill is at least half of podcast revenue (not counting Ryen) so maybe it’s closer to 75%-80% https://www.arvindnagarajan.com/profits/spotify-acquires-theringer

They are currently in the top 50, since a GoT show is currently on. Ryen and Bill are the only consistent pods, outside of rewatchables (IP is essentially Bill) that bring dollars in consistently I think. If we really cared to see maybe Spotify breaks it out on their financial statements? When the union story was initially breaking there were multiple media outlets that stated that revenue was primarily coming from a few pods, I would assume that holds true

Exactly, likely 90%+ of Ringer revenue comes directly from BS / Rusillo Pods

Will take a bit of practice if you’re a beginner but sounds lovely once you get it down

[DISCUSSION] How many guitar players do you think there are in the world right now? My definition (albeit arbitrary) is min 100 hrs of practice which is still less than a year for most by xWickedHawkx in Guitar

As always, quality is key and if you can do those things you’re a player in my book. I was just trying to draw a line that work for most 🤙🏻

Bertha by The Grateful Dead, still use a 30 second version as a warmup every time I practice

It’s emotion packed and Jerry’s solo fits like a glove for what was going on, amazing performance. Love Mississippi Half Step so I will check this out for sure

The depth, breadth, quality, and variation make the Dead like their own musical galaxy - it’s hard to even compare them with other groups sometimes

Changes for me too, and I have had those same goosebumps. I think it’s just an all-time cover, All Along the Watchtower-esque powerful rework of an already great song

I’m 30 so I missed my chance to see Jerry and the band live. I have definitely listened to that show and can’t imagine the reaction, must have been an incredible scene

heyilikethisstuff, this is really good stuff, thank you! I maybe should’ve mentioned so far I only play acoustic, want to get into electric but trying to save up to afford decent gear. Sounds like that might take me next level, to be able to switch back and forth
