Not nearly as active here recently as I discovered this thing called "Reddit", but I just wanted to let y'all geetar skeeters I've been in the lab and I'm about to drop a [checks notes] **ZACK FOX & KENNY BEATS LESSON** for Jesus Is The One. #Guitar www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MUkSje/

Happy #NZmusicmonth! Maybe you'll see our faces plastered around Aotearoa as part of NZMC's 'Outplay', which is calling for all New Zealanders to try and outstream global cities throughout May.

it's amazing how many people who feel compelled to write critically about music don't enjoy it at all

**NEW!** Now uploaded to the Ready Fret Go! YouTubes. Theme from "The Letter People" [for solo acoustic] youtube.com/shorts/baFfy... #Guitar 🤘😎🎸

BREAKING NEWS: Behold what is the first actual new RFG tutorial in like...A WHILE. 2025 has been weird for many creative people. I have just been layin' in the cut, gorging on ART. Anyways, here's the theme song from The Letter People. 📺 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP86tDHBw/ #Guitar #GenX

My main conspiracy theory is that Pat Smear is a character that Fred Armisen has been playing for decades.

Pervert-tier kit is my middle name, baby! 🥵 I'll be talking more about this instrument in another vid, but basically it's a taishōgoto synthesizer. Although that only scratches the surface of how weird and wonderful it is. Here I am playing some Ishikawa Sayuri on it... PLUS SAX 💖🎷✨

Ready Fret Go! would like to apologize for mistakenly calling @timbaltz.bsky.social "Tim Balz" in recent posts. We assure you this was COMPLETELY accidental because we forgot his last name is actually, "BALTZ". Mr. Balz was DEATHLY funny on Righteous Gemstones and is a COMIC GENIUS. Dammit! 🤦🏼

As we head into #SNL finale week, here are my predictions for those soon TBA as not returning for S51. I could be wrong but... CUTS: Devon Walker Ashley Padilla HOLLYWOOD: Chloe Fineman Heidi Gardner Mikey Day Should Be Hired Back Cuz Lorne Blew-It: Chloe Troast Chris Redd

ALRIGHTY @thebeths.bsky.social... I have a cover for you that would not only be perfect 🤌, it SOUNDS like a Beths song, not just melodically but lyrically. It is by...a JAZZY songwriter dude. I've been trying to get you this track for 2 YEARS. You should "Feistodon" an EP with BLANK. 💰🤑 DM? 🎁

Me hearing a wee snippet of deep-cuts KINKS ("Strangers") on the #Elsbeth finale.

Taking a quick break from food to report that the new single from The Beths that came out this week sounds like something like that would have played over the end credits to an episode of "Pete and Pete", and that's maybe the highest compliment I can possibly give www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrVE...

DEAR FINGERSTYLE ELECTRIC GUITARIST: You should know that you can LITERALLY play pinch harmonics, WITHOUT A PICK. It's actually more of a pinch, a pop, and a pluck. You might get a blister trying to get this technique right, but TOTES worth it. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP862wefq/

Tickets for our North America, UK and European tour are now up! ALSO ANNOUNCING: Second shows for San Francisco and Washington D.C. as first shows are sold out GEEZ. Get your tickets at thebeths.com. See you there 🎸

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Wilco Day 1 (not ranked) Traveled many times to see them live, and I highly recommend you do too! When I see groups multiple times I find some songs I wish they wouldn’t play anymore. But not this one. Nels is a national treasure! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmI7...

Thanks Sports Team for making yet another excellent music video for us. Crafting birds out of mud and cutlery is very fun even when you’re drenched, and I think we got them into low earth orbit. NOTE: I don’t know why the cows were afraid of us and it DID hurt my feelings. 🥄🐄 thebeths.ffm.to/metal

All the lyrics on Something/Anything have a powerful ‘Yes I boned all your friends but there was that time you didn’t pick me up from the gym because apparently your Grandma’s funeral was more important than me, so who is truly at fault’ energy #nowplaying

Also announcing tour dates across the UK, EU and North America for late 2025. Artist presale starts Wednesday 30 Apr at 10am local with general onsale to follow Friday 2 May. RSVP to your nearest show to receive the presale password: thebeths.ffm.to/tour

THE KIWI INVASION IS ON AND POPPIN'! Anti Records just bought Boardwalk (The Beths). Hans Pucket (the fun. of Aotearoa) is Park Place. Their current label hopefully realizes this. *Jonathan Pearce (who produced both bands) is the NZ Jack Antonoff. #Music #TheBeths #Guitar

Stoked to announce our new single “Metal” is out now via @antirecords.bsky.social with a music video directed by Sports Team! thebeths.ffm.to/metal
