- The woodshedder extraordinaire wows us with playing, tone and insight!
Welcome to the show! We are delighted to welcome our dear chum Andy Wood to Schwangri-La. Andy is a Tennessee-based artist and session/tour guitarist/mandolin player who, in addition to his own solo career, has played with Locash, Scott Stapp and Rascal Flatts among others. He also has a Suhr signature model guitar and a couple of pedals to boot.
His mesmerising playing style is a constantly shifting amalgam of traditional Americana, country and full-bore technique rock: it’s quite the experience as we can attest!
We chat about all kinds of topics today - tone, technique, influences and all the good stuff you’d expect from an extended TPS show.
Please subscribe on TH-cam - it’s free and it helps us. And of course…
Please enjoy the show!

Andy’s amp setup today…
Andy runs a stereo rig from his pedals and the G3 switcher. All the pedals go into the front of amps, no effects loops.
Today, one side is a Two-Rock Classic Reverb Signature into a Mesa 212 cab with EVM12L speakers (bottom/closed speaker only).
The other side is a Two-Rock TS-1 combo with a TR1265B speaker.
We set the amps up to sound as similar as possible with plenty of headroom for all of Andy’s pedals to go straight into the front end.

This was so much fun!!! 🧡🎸🏁
Dude, you had me cracking up. So stoked to see you on here man. Great job brotha
never really heard of you...dude you play all styles!!! so impressed hey from nyc!!!
Second time I’ve smiled so thoroughly at having my world destroyed so beautifully. Thank you Andy and That Pedal Show.
These Andy’s are something else. Wood and Timmons both got me. I think because they have you smiling then hit you with this guitar emotion right through.
Nice of you to finally get known! Lol! 😜
Great to see you on the show! It was nice of you to put down the new Mortal Kombat game to come play guitar for a bit.
Imagine coming back to guitar after 4/5 years out from an accident... returning to a TPS binge, setting up your PRS and playing your first four hour session in near six years, whilst listening to your favourite guitarist hang out on your favourite channel... Its 1:40 here, many hours past my bed-time, and I've had a bloody brilliant night. I'll be joining the Patreon ranks on both sides as soon as, and maybe one day I can dream of catching a woodshed event.
Apologies if I come across as cheesy, I've had a rare moment of feeling great after some incredibly challenging years, and I just wanted you guys to know a little bit of that impact.
Have a fantastic Christmas folks, I'm glad our guitar community and the hangouts are still here. I have a lot to catch up on.
Andy talking about really hearing something like Banjo or Clapton for the first time and having it change your trajectory - I had that happen to me last weekend. At 53, it may be surprising to English folk, but the whole Smiths thing got by me. I was not into most of the current music of the day while they were popular. After watching the Johnny Marr interview a few times, I dug in deep on his playing. I was fortunate enough to pick up a Rickenbacker 330 a little more than a month ago. Throwing a capo on that guitar and playing along with Johnny Marr youtube concerts loud for about 9 hours last Friday and Saturday changed everything for me!
I met Andy this week at Guitar store local to where we live. We chatted about Revv amps, Suhr guitars and other things he could not have been nicer. Beyond the playing he’s just a very nice person.
Every guest you have on your show inspires me to play. It’s awesome. I never really knew of Andy Wood and now I will follow him on TH-cam. I love how he ties different music styles together. I’m the same way. It’s okay to love folk music and Van Halen. Many thanks Gents!
Andy is such an inspiring combination of technical facility, musicality, AND a pure love of music! What a talent!
Oh my lord, we are being blessed on TPS recently! You guys deserve and need way more subs, this content is next level!
Im the camper that was jammin Born on the Bayou with Mr Rudess and Mr Timmons...it was better than any Christmas present I've ever opened. The entire weekend was amazing! I can't wait for next year!
Andy is such a monster. Definitely one of most fun episodes to watch ever.
Ya this was a good episode
He's great; one of the very best players ever.
What I love about Andy Wood (& Andy Timmons) playing is, their ability to make you feel that they are NEVER just throwing lines out there. 100% intentional
I know it’s an illusion, but they are so dynamic and capable I feel that way.
Dude, so good, on so many levels. Lovely human being
This dude is like the Ted Lasso of guitar, love it!
😂 I love it
I never tire of Dan’s genuine expressions of joy watching masters do their thing. It feels like it’s for the love of the music and playing and not an attempt to sell you something.
Andy is so well rounded, the guy just oozes knowledge and passion. He makes everything look so easy. What a brilliant guy and true professional!
What a fantastic episode! Fabulous playing, insights, tones; the most fun! If this episode doesn’t bring a smile to a guitar player, then you probably need to change instruments…
Currently having a severe talking to my hands….plus putting together what could be an expensive “Dear Santa…” list. Thank all of you guys!
TPS - this shows the value of your show. When top players from diverse musical backgrounds want to be on your show to play and explain where their influences come from, you have GOT to be both pleased and humbled by the content they produce. As guitarists, our environments are only enriched by listening to these people play. Its made even easier by the fact that it feels like you are in our living rooms... informal, but at the same time, great quality. And truly awesome guests - Timmons, Gallagher, Marr, Wood and other guitar royalty. Sincerely, thank you. This is genuinely on the road to fulfilment. Andy is an unbelievable player; his set-up is great too. I was looking for an influence to complete a guitar build and this burnt / oiled look is now the top contender... Keep smashing it. TFI Friday for TPS.
Andy Timmons, Greg Koch, and Andy Wood episodes on TPS will go down as some of the greatest episodes ever. So much entertainment, and information on gear and technique.
Good job TPS!
I had the pleasure of meeting Andy twice at cosmo in Toronto… pure class … such a great guy and insane talent
I have corresponded with Andy here and there on social media and he is always really down to Earth and helpful. It almost…ALMOST…makes you forget what a terrifying guitar player he is. I love seeing good people get the attention they so rightly deserve. Bravo Andy and TPS.👏🏻 Oh, and that Andy Wood Suhr is really calling to me.
What a fine Gentleman and what an amazing guitarist and sound-artist. Wow wo wow… Dont recall I have ever seen a guitarist with such a wide and understandable musical language. I wrote this 15 min in, now minutes later - BLOWN AWAY. What the biip…
Now that...THAT was special. Andy revealing not just tricks of the trade for sessions/Nashville/Top Level Guitarists, but the thinking behind them was enlightening. Thanks guys for a very enjoyable TPS episode.
The greatest show on the planet with some stellar guests. Awesome to get to know Andy Wood, such an inspiraton, breaking barriers that should never exist in music in the first place. Thank you...
What a fantastic musician and a beautiful human being! Loved this time with Andy Wood.
And D&M, you guys continue to impress, grow, and bring us the highest quality content and guests. Thank you SO MUCH!
I dont know how I've never heard of Andy, but WOW this dude is a monster! Absolutely gained my respect and a new fan!
The sincere joy I see on your faces as you listen to Andy Wood talk about Eddie Van Halen playing is just wonderful. Makes me smile.
You can see the mandolin experience in Andy's right hand. It's really something
Even with all that technique Andy has, he still has an incredible feel and soul in his playing.
Cheers my dude 🙏🏻
"Bring sand to the beach." Andy has some gloriously Southern turns of phrase. And what a picker 🎸
Fantastic show Leg Ends, what a player Andy is , just when you think you can't suck anymore than you already do , ANDY TURNS UP !! " no i don't think i suck, i just love playing my Guitar" as Mick always says " to compere is too redactive ? " or something like that, in all seriousness you think you can play & then you meet a BLUEGRASS PLAYER!! Those people are on another level. Many thanks for another wonderful show. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤❤.
That’s a beautiful Suhr, sir! 👌
It's easily one of your best episodes for me 😊❤😂 Amazing Grace wooooow
I love Andy Wood as much as Julian Lage for the unbounded optimism in everything he plays. Always inspiring.
Can you give me some examples, please? I don't get it
I think his fingers actually left his hand at one point !!! WOW Amazing guitarist. Thanks for the great shows, TPS ROCKS !!!!
Andy is an absolute monster player. Jack of all trades (and definitely a master of some)
Two coffees, hour and a half leisure, and a little AMAZING GRACE to end another EPIC Video. Bravo @That Pedal Show & @Andy Wood Music 🙏🏼❤
i can longer refer to a whammy bar as anything other than a kickstand from now on! amazing player and genuine bloke, full marks as always guys!
This fella is the bees bollocks ..unbelievably great and to my shame I’ve never heard of him…excellent show
Andy Wood is a musician magician
This was a great episode. Thank you for inviting Andy. Monstrous player and seems like a very humble guy. Can't wait for a new album.
I'd never heard of Andy Wood until this video but what a player! I will certainly be checking him out. Thanks Dan and Mick.
I had the good fortune of attending 2 of Andy's clinics at Cosmofest. He is such a phenomenal talent. The best things is that he's an even better human!!! What a super guy, humble and down to earth, with great advice. Wishing Andy, as well as Dan and Mick all the best. Thank you all for doing what you do!!
Andy giving me the Chills this morning. (Yes, Pointy Nips too).
I can't think of a more beautiful way to tribute a loved one than to write a melody like that. brought tears to my eyes
The sound in the room must have been amazing, judging by the smiles on Dan and Mick’s faces! Sounds great on good headphones but a picture speaks a thousand words!
love it!!! Huge AW fan and patreon member and 4 time Woodshed Guitar Experience attendee/photographer!!! Thanks AW for sharing so much with us mere mortals. Mick and Dan please come to Woodshed 2024 : )
It’s been a long time since I’ve had my socks just knocked off by someone I didn’t know of before. What a talent. And what a great show
Thank you Dan & Mick & Andy ! Another excellent episode with great insights. That Pedal Show offers one of a kind content here on TH-cam. Excellent ! Best Wishes - John
What a gigantic omission on my part for not paying attention to Andy Wood earlier. What a player, what a seemingly great guy. And his tones are nearly as sweet as Andy Timmons' - pretty clear the impact AT has had on Wood, all for the better.
Andy Wood for sure has his own unique voice on the instrument.
I shall be rectifying this enormous oversight immediately.
AWESOME as always leg-ends....
I was typing in how the Mobius could get a nice Robin Trower “Bridge of Sighs” when Andy goes Rotary! And makes my point MUCH better!
The very fact he knows how good Guthrie is attests to how Musical the Dude is. What a legend!
What a fantastic hang out that was to watch. I have been a woodshed fan for 3 years now and Andy is such an inspiration. Finally got my hands on a Gearbox all the way out here in NZ about 2 weeks ago and adore the thing. His Tele is what made me pickup a Tele Deluxe for the first time just to get even close to holding something so epic as his Suhrs and it’s been my main gigging guitar since. He got my into practicing picking using fiddle tunes and my right hand has never felt as confident. Genuinely a hero of mine and watching this had a smile on my face the whole way. Music lovers everywhere thank him and his grandad for everything they’ve added to our lives with their generational inspiration. One day I will get to one of his clinics if I have to swim to the US to do it. Thanks guys
I didn't know Andy but now I do. Thank you gentlemen for turning me on to him.
Andy Wood is an incredible inspiration, a unique musician and a true gentleman.
Just fantastic... I’m really running out of words. For your content is always so full of great music AND humanity. You’re killing it each and every time! I’ll wear my new TPS T-shirt with pride. 💪🏻🎸💯
Andy is as much of a nerd about tone and pedals as you two. I love it.
A lot of guitarists just focus on playing and tone is secondary but when you hear the guys that are fully involved in it all, its eye opening.
OMG. Just when I think this show could not possibly get better, it gets better...
And he ends the show with Amazing Grace... super cool!
This episode is on my top 5 ever from That Pedal Show! 🙏🏻Probably Andy is one of the best guitar artist where you can learn so much about so many things thanks to the very simple way his talks and explain it.
Happy to see you guys sharing time with Andy in these levels of experience. About his gear: Andy Suhr compressor, the Wampler Pantheon and the Wampler Gearbox are now on my wish list for sure! 🤘🏻🎸🔥
Agree, such an inspiring episode guys! Andy is the man!
I have the gearbox, it’s amazing.
Busy week so late to this party. Great video. Out of nowhere he breaks into Spanish Fly and then 316. Epic. You guys are on quite a role. Such a great year of episodes. Thank you so much!!
OMG This was fun!
I gotta say, when Andy was talking about sound and talking fast, there were a few words that just ran right over me, and I realized how much I DON'T know...but overall, I got a lot out of this.
He is a phenomenal player, and while watching this I realized that my guitar "education" is missing having a Bluegrass player to play with and learn from.
I always enjoy TPS, but this one was especially good.
Thank you: Mick, Dan and Andy!
WOW! Beautiful piece at the very end! ANYONE who hasn’t jumped over & subscribed or follow Andy simply doesn’t recognize talent, achieved through natural talent, hard work, practice & dedication! He sat in with one of my BFs a few times in Myrtle Beach. Both players are world class so needless to say, it worked! 😂
M & D are always so humble to hear that a great musician is a fan of the channel. That always amazes me. A great lesson that I want to learn. Plus, I always leaning about new music that I was unaware of. Thanks for everything!
I missed this one when it came out! Andy is one of my favourites, he's a master of all trades!
Aside from enjoying Andy's genius playing, I'm loving the oil finished look of that Suhr! Also Andy seems like a great dude.
Andy is such an inspiring person. His love of music and guitar are so infectious. Can't help but want to pick up a guitar when you hear him play.
I had the opportunity to ‘Hang’ with Andy over the following weekend. His playing is beyond,even more than that he’s is a really cool fellow human being..
Greatest guitar player of all time = the one that makes you nostalgic for your youth.
This may be the best guest ever..Andy can play everything..And so humble and honest
Andy has always had such an infectious energy, incredible ability mixed with a big smile. His crossover between styles to make "His Thing" is just a melting pot of goodness.
Thanks TPS for this one ❤
HOLY TPS BATMAN!!! One of my favorite episodes and I've yet to watch it. Totally dig Andy Wood and the woodshed. This is next level
This was a great, great episode. We are really living a golden year in TPS-world. Thank you M&D for introducing me to such an interesting and talented player. What a wonderful guy, and a really engaging interviewee. His playing though, oh my word... Thank you TPS and you have a new fan @andywoodmusic 🙂
this one past me by been a busy boy glad to have caught up I don't even know who Andy is but a lot of what he's said really gelled with me really learned something's there thank you you very much fellas
SUCH a great player, board, guitar and dude. Thank you guys for introducing Andy to us!!! And Andy, I remember the “I learned it from watching you, Dad!”. 😂😂
Andy is part happy go lucky master of the hang and part old west gunslinger. He laid the wood on your decibel-o-meter in such a way that I thought Mick was going to curl up in the fetal position for a couple of moments there. What a fun show with a great guest! 🎉😅😂
Thank you guys for all of your great content! I love the joy you bring to your sessions!
You’re most welcome 🤗
Andy is just as good as Guthrie. Hes absolutely a world class player, and musician.
Dudes I had literally never heard of this guy and I'm mind blown by his playing and tone fundamentals!! I mean he knows what he's doing. He definitely knows pedals and tone. Been awhile since such a charasmatic American has represented us with such a cool demeanor and just brash tone passion. Bottom line, super versatile and though at the end of chain, I always run from Strymon for no other reason except I hate something immediately if everything has one, (not because it sounds bad) but like he said "the rest is fun," but straight up..the guitar talk and the fundamental compression, drive, eq, short delay as reverb & volume stuff was insane. Not to mention the ridiculous, unique guitar playing. Thanks TPS for always bring the bacon 🥓 in one way or another.
Playing guitar like Andy does should be illegal in a way. Fantastic episode.❤❤❤
I am embarrassed to admit I have missed Mr. Wood over the years but what an engaging, generous, humble, entertaining and most importantly FLIPPIN’ TALENTED person. Thank you.
I adore Andy's playing - what a treat this is. Thank you, chaps.
That might be the greatest into on TPS of all time.
Ok, going back to playing drums :) Andy your on fire!
I have showed at NAMM 7 times. I don't show to sell anything I go to see friends, talk to people and just enjoy the music!
Guys thanks for a great show!
Andy is the new coolest guitarist on the block. Super humble, crazy talented, AND a gamer? Dang bro. LOVED this interview.
It’s only in the last few weeks that I have started to get into Andy wood. Learned of him through Big wreck and Ian thornley.
Cannot say I was an Andy Wood fan boy before this video (but yes was definitely a fan though) but I will say this was the very best guest video I have seen on the show. Completely enjoyed the hell out of it!
Me too bradbond8872… I was a fan of his playing but wasn’t sure how much I liked him. I thought I liked him fine but now I really like him and want to hear his albums.
The sweet TPS fam is taking it to the next level!!! It could be called That EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS Show! Thank you for the vision to pull it all together - vision, madness. . . curiosity. . . whatever combinations, this past year of TPS has become the most amazing dish: sweet, savory and spicy! And, you have continued to find ways to indeed: ask better questions! Oh, yeah, Andy was flipping amazing and so funny - and so good!! What a touch and what a real world, working musician point of view. Thank you!
Tennessee represent! Discovering a whole canon of country and bluegrass here has been one of the fascinating parts of moving from Europe to the south. It’s so distant to our experience in the UK, but there is a wealth of a beautiful music being made in this region (along with a lot of pop country trash unfortunately) and it feels pretty vibrant and special, especially outside, in a sun day, somewhere in the shadow of the mountains.
Also really fascinating to hear him mention he played Phil X’s parts on a tour - both have that background in a traditional acoustic instrument. Birds of a feather.
Amazing episode! Thank you for bringing in Andy, I'm always amazed by his musical brain and how humble he is.
TPS is the most entertaining show on YT! If you enjoyed Andy talking about EVH he has an one hour + video on tbe EVH SDE 3000 delay. He plays VH in that video better than anyone I have ever heard.
YES! So good. Andy is an absolute beast so happy to see him on the show.
Man oh man! Wow! Thanks 🙏
Never heard of him. Really not a fan of country / bluegrass. But …..what an episode! It had everything. One of your most enjoyable guests ever. What a talent. The level of content you guys are producing is phenomenal. Thanks so much Dan, Mick …and Andy!
What a beast andy is man..
Him and brent mason are monsters !
Great show! Thanks Mick,Dan and Andy!
You guys are absolutely killing it at the moment. Incredible.
One of the best episodes ever, thanks guys!
One of the best episodes ever. Thanks guys!😊
Fantastic episode. Thank you.
That was my good friend Keith from Myrtle Beach who played & sang “Born on the Bayou”. He said Timmons told him it was such unexpected fun playing that old classic!
First time I saw Andy was stumbling in to a video on TH-cam with him doing a clinic at a festival and I remember him playing Nessun Dorma and me thinking ‘who the fuck is this guy!!’ Been a fan of his ever since. The way he spoke about Eddie was beautiful as well 🙏
A million thanks, Dan, Mick and Andy---great show!
