Guitar World

Austin rock powerhouse Emily Wolfe sits down with Paul from Guitar World to share the gritty, raw reality behind her journey as an emerging artist. From reading Guitar World in a Barnes & Noble parking lot to designing her own Epiphone Sheraton signature guitars, Emily opens up about the visual distractions that force her to spray-paint her pedals white, how being a drummer first completely rewired her syncopated guitar style, and the pivotal moment producer Gavin Brown saved her from throwing in the towel. 00:00 Intro 00:47 From Reading the Magazine to Being Featured In It 01:38 Designing the Epiphone Sheridan Signature Guitars 07:10 The 2012 Austin Beginnings & The Mohawk Breakthrough 13:15 The Pawn Shop Harmony Guitar & A Terrible First Lesson 15:26 How Being a Drummer Shaped Her Syncopated Guitar Style 16:47 High School Isolation to Finding Her Musical Identity 18:47 The Email That Saved Her Live Career 20:08 Meeting Gavin Brown at 1% Battery Life 24:41 Sonically Rocking Out: Moving Beyond Austin's Blues Roots 26:36 Mentorship on the Road: Gaslight Anthem & Heart 27:52 The World Series & Writing the Hit Single "Power" 30:01 Unlocking Raw Emotion: How "Crave Me" Was Written 32:03 Trying to Write a Bad Song: "Kill Me with a Kiss" 33:27 Collaborating on "Lips" & That Billie Eilish/Black Sabbath Mashup 36:45 Mental Health on the Road & Suicide Prevention Benefits 38:16 Feeding the Addiction: Going Down the Pedal Rabbit Hole 40:19 Designing the Neurotica Overdrive & EQ Pedal 42:34 Why Emily Wolfe Paint Her Pedals Solid White and Black 43:41 Amplifiers & The Fender Deville Tone Matrix 44:21 Advice to the 16-Year-Old Playing on a Carpet Flooring 46:34 Current Inspirations 47:41 What Emily Wants People to Take Away from Her Music 48:30 What Emily Does at Home: The Merlin Bird Watching App 49:47 Is Guitar Still the Most Expressive Instrument?
