Podcast 506: Emma Harner

Meet Emma Harner, an incredibly talented artist from Nebraska
who, unbelievably, has only been playing guitar since the
pandemic. 


Emma's complex playing, a mix of math rock and acoustic
fingerpicking, and arresting vocals have earned her over 200,000
followers on Instagram and accolades from numerous guitar heroes.


During our chat, we talk about her guitar journey, including her
time at Berklee, working at Guitar Center, her favorite tuning,
her love for Radiohead, why she won't be covering Nick Drake or
Adrianne Lenker any time soon, her new single, and so much more.
It's a great conversation and Emma's first interview to date.
