Bohlinger finally gets to meet one of his favorite guitarists, Nathaniel Murphy of Chicago Music Exchange fame. The two talk about their approach to the instrument, decode why guitar arrangements are puzzles, unravel Nathaniel's journey from futbol coach to busker to ace instrumentalist, all before Murphy humbly asks for a simple gig as a rhythm guiitarist in your band. Of course the duo share a couple of tasty jams, too.
