"Write a bad song, but finish it" is some really solid advice.
I hit home hard for me. Nice to see someone else also picked it up.
Yep, it's true I am a not so huge musician in my place, it's tribal and culture and doesn't take lots of stuffs, will, lyrics and good music tracks, but its truly working for me now.
It’s resonated with me. Old fart can still have learning moments!
The best songwriter I have ever (personally) known told me once that EVERY day he would write 4-6 entire songs.
@@TheDrunkenScoundrel (boggling) did he also have a job? Like, WHEN? I'd love to but man I also gotta eat
I’m so happy, she just gets better and better. Been listening to her for 3-4 years now. She leaves space in the music but yet her writing so harmonically rich. She is amazing! I’m frustrated that she is not more recognized. … but happy she’s not commercialized..
I'm 70, and this young woman is more together than I am. I need to spend more time practicing. Bless you, Madison. Thanks, Josh.
63 here but I'm with you
Luckily it's not a contest 😊. Just be yourself!
58 and right there with you
This is the most wholesome interview on youtube
She's really insightful into her playing. That's refreshing. That's a real musician right there. She knows what the hell she's doin
i misread magician but that works as well.
@@majortom4543 Dai Vernon
What a great songwriter and singer. She has amazing musical skills.
Oh my ! A nice compliment from a guitar master of the greatest kind !
Dude, you gotta check her out live. Her guitar skills are so fluid and relaxed and her voice,...good lord,...like an angel.
Couldn't agree more. Her musicality is off the charts.
You know it’s good when halfway through your pick up your guitar to play a long and instead get lost for an hour before finishing the full episode. Thank you for making great work.
I'd never heard of Madison before this but I've been listening to her for the last 24hrs and she's awesome. What a talent!
Madison Cunningham RULES! An incredible songwriter and a killer player.
So stoked for this interview!
I've been listening to her music for a little while now, and she's become one of my favourite artists. This was an awesome surprise!
Flats on that Jazzmaster. Respect.
Michael Himes flats have to be on those, round strings pop out of the bridge saddles (though that looks like a different bridge than the original one on the Jazzmaster and Jaguar).
@@joermnyc I disagree. Flats do not have to be on jazzmasters or jaguars and thousands of players enjoy roundwound strings on their offsets - Elvis costello, Thurston Moore, J Mascis, Kevin Shields and Kurt cobain to name a few. Of course the Mastery bridge was invented to overcome the issue you describe which is more likely to happen with aggressive playing and before it, a mustang bridge was the common retrofit. For what it's worth - the bridge in question looks like tune-o-matic style bridge which looks to be stock on that particular model. Maybe it's a roller style - hard to tell.
Michael Himes it’s an ultra jazzmaster
@@vrensen1 It's not an Ultra. It's a Mexi Classic Player.
She plays a Jazzmaster, of course Josh likes her playing
It’s about time. SO refreshing. She’s the real deal. Musical integrity, and Intention … bravo.
Radiohead, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell. I hear it. She's so genuine and authentic. Honest and real. I'm such a fan.
Oh, and I see Tedeschi Trucks in concert every year. They're absolutely incredible.
Ha, I hear Joni, Radiohead, and Rufus Wainwright, but now that you mention it, I hear Paul as well. She is incredibly talented and mature beyond her years.
Her left hand control is amazing. like an OOLLLLDDD blues player, right in the pocket.
love reading comments on Madison's stuff. A common one that makes me smile is "she plays like an old pro".
I looked up her videos on YT about 3 minutes into this video. I "got" immediately why she's super talented. I hope she has a long, successful career. She seems like a cool person and a sublime guitarist.
Wow! My worlds are colliding! I've been a huge fan of Madison since hearing her on Prairie Home Companion years ago. She's just gotten better since then. To find her on this here channel, where I come for gear history and advice, is amazing! Great interview, loved the music, everything really. I left a big long comment taking Scott to task for oversimplifying blues history or something, but now? All is forgiven. Mostly. Cereal is not a soup.
Indeed. No sane human thinks cereal is a soup. By his rationale, if I pour my water with lemon slices into a bowl, it transforms into a soup. Pfft.
Soup is all cooked together (even if it gets chilled before you eat it), cereal is liquid added to solid stuff, so not soup.
Cereal is either porridge or gruel. Not sure which. Maybe both.
@@ljmiller96 Porridge is usually cooked, so maybe gruel?
Also, you can have cereal without milk.
Milk is not broth. That's all I need to say.
She is definitely one of the best young songwriters around right now. Keep it rollin!
There's something about Josh's consistent smirk throughout that has me laughing for some reason. Good stuff.
Started listening her music because of this show. Loving it A LOT.
Josh & Nick, thanks!
Best from Barcelona.
Look up Larkin Poe, Molly Tuttle, and Tyler Bryant and The Shakedown.
Frank Boyd oh! I know all of them! Thanks for the recommendation, though! 🙂
Really great interview with a wonderful songwriter I had not heard of... I'll definitely check her stuff out. I thought this was a nice change of pace, and appreciated this week's video! :)
As a kiwi, It's awesome to see music from home influence and inspire people from around the world. I've grown up hearing Brooke Fraser on the radio and she's one of NZ's most talented songwriters for sure!
Haha, as a fellow Kiwi, I immediately scrolled down to find this comment when she mentioned Brooke
Joe Stanley yeah man, I thought the same.
Glad this video will be helping to give her the bigger audience that she deserves. Madison is a budding star in the making!
Man - this is so cool. Let alone Madison, who's a total genius... But then there is Nick who playes the song like he's never done anything else and Josh who is never scared or hesitant to jam with the greats. I'd be scared shitless. Great, great stuff
Awesome episode guys. Just love her tone and style! Also, Nick is such a great drummer ✌🏻
she is the one that make me can't leave my eyes off. the way she talks and the attitude to the music and the thing she loves.
Discovered Madison Cunningham a few months ago, and she’s quickly become one of my favorites! So cool to see her on the show.
"That kind of sucks, but she means it, so it must be right." THAT is the sentiment that expresses why music is so special. Sincerity and authenticity mean everything. Great video and interview.
"I'm getting nervous now". Soup question.
Well done Josh. Well done.
Great interview, lovely music. Lol'd when she explained Josh's vibrato to him.
World's colliding. Never thought I'd see Madison on here. Been enjoying her music for awhile now!
It is a breath of fresh air to hear such a young talent...I’m a 42 yr old new fan. Also, everyone my age will tell you that Radiohead’s best album is the Bends, but I’m a sucker for In Rainbows.
Agreed
One of the best shows I have ever seen was when Juana Molina played a small club in Chicago -- touring for Un Dia around 2009. Intricate rhythms, looping pedals, unorthodox percussion instrumentation. I was hooked. I played the track featured here by Madison for my 4-1/2 year old daughter earlier today -- she may be hooked, as well. Fantastic episode!
I have been looking forward to this episode!! Big fan of her music and guitar playing!
She looks like a Greek or Roman princess. Her face looks like one you see on old coins. In other words, GORGEOUS.
The thing that always amazes me the most about her playing is how her hands never seem to move, she is the true Slow Hand
Felt weird cuz I was hearing Josh on the left side and Madison on the right but they were sitting on opposite sides.......
Mitsune Hiku u should sit backwards
Swap your headphone around.
Hahahahah flip the headphone my dude
She’s an incredible guitarist and singer and performer but also Nick does not get enough credit for his drumming, such a great tasteful player.
Absolutely right. Some great drumming here. Kudos Nick!
Haven’t found a new artist like her that I actually got excited about for years now.
So pumped on this! Madi is the guitar hero we need in 2020!!
Loved this episode. Love the format. Would not be oppposed to more content like this. Inspiring stuff.
Amazing artist. Thanks Josh for leading me into her work.
She'd make a great guest at our house. My fave artists are Radiohead, Fiona Apple and Jeff Buckley, while my girlfriend loves Feist and Joni Mitchell and loves that plane watching app.
Wow... I like this performance of "Pin It Down" better than the original. I just stumbled across Madison's music a couple of days ago and have become obsessed. Binging everything I can find of hers 🎧. Her musicality is so wonderfully nuanced, textured, and mature. Can't wait for a chance to see her live!
A live album from her would be amazing
I’ve been following her for awhile, she is very talented with a innovative songwriting style. Thanks for this Josh! Rock on Madi!
She is so good! Loved getting to hear from her here. Thanks JHS!
So relieved to hear a girl singer singing in her normal voice - too many copy cats doing the same terrible fake soul stuff. Her singing is refreshing!!! Good on ya'!!!
Or every pop girl singer does that "whispery" soft voice. Ugh.
@@davelanciani-dimaensionx right? i'm so bored of that shit, put some damn personality into it!
ok boomer(s)
Great interview with one of my favorite new(ish) singer/songwriter/guitarists. She has such a unique voice, both as a composer and as a player. And really impressive drum work on "Pin it down"-totally in the pocket! -Tom
Just wanted to say, since I got back in to guitar about two months ago, I have learned so much from this channel, and also just thoroughly enjoyed and been entertained by these videos. I just got my first JHS pedal this week-- an Angry Charlie. And it is REALLY GOOD, just like the CZcams videos!
Just came here to watch the pedals........but then I loved her music and sound. JHS you are awesome!!!
More of these please! I love your interview questions and the way they really help us get to know an artist.
I can't... already... be more effusive about this episode. Brilliant!!!
i'm utterly shocked to learn *There May Be Tears* was the first song she wrote. Madison is an unbelievably good songwriter, singer, and guitar player...omg
Great video, happy to be introduced to her music! The Paul Simon influence is all over that song at the end, from the lyrics, to the flow, to the fingerpicking and understated chops!
I was listening to Madison’s music not too long ago, and I heard a lot of things that reminded me of Brooke Fraser, and I was wondering if she was an influence for her. That is so cool!! I’m glad I found this video because she answered that question for me. Both Brooke and Madison are two of my favorite artists.
My favorite new artist on my favorite CZcams channel. Thanks! She is amazing. Had no idea she was so young. Must be an old soul. Ok, now I need a jazzmaster and a penguin pedal.
That first song ever written by her is "There May Be Tears", it's really solid and its album "Come Away" by Scott Cunningham Band is listed on Spotify as 2012, which means she was not older than 16 writing it... kinda blown away by this.
Read all the comments so far. Liked many. Always like your videos. And, there was so much to enjoy here! You put it out there for us to enjoy, you know! Thanks to all of you for your generosity. Just what we needed. I will keep this one in the library. And buy this creator's work. You guys backed her up so well. Madison was awesome, you all just sit down and pour out great music! Thanks Madison. Really! I learn so much wonderfulness every time I tune in.
she's mature beyond her young age and has great energy and talent.
Great episode, JHS! Thanks for showing off Ms. Cunningham-I am firmly entrenched in her fandom after that.
She is an amazing talent. She is on repeat con my play list now.
She is very likable. Great interview/show Josh. Never heard her music. Will be playing her on Tidal today.
I love her style, what a great vibe! Big ups for the Jazzmaster too
She’s a stunning talent that doesn’t get enough attention.
She's a goddess. Not because of her looks - although she's very pretty - but she's so talented, and smart and wise and I think I'm in love with her.
I love Madison Cunningham and this was a great interview/video. Glad it was more than 5 min.
Damn, I love this artist so much ! I mean, songs like "L.A. (Looking Alive)", "Pin it down" or "L.A. (Looking Alive)" are masterpieces, each in a very singular way. Her guitar playing is phenomenal and makes a so perfect ensemble with her voice. In a time of too clean and sweet music, I love the tension, the dynamic of her harmonies and riffs. The best discovery for ages in the music I listen to. Maybe could we have her in concert in south France after the Covid time ? That would be my 2021 wish...
I think the first Madison Cunningham track I heard was In From Japan... and while listening to that I just fell in love with her music... and somehow I really felt like she'd also like the same music I like... and now seeing her mention artists like Fiona Apple, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, Paul Simon etc confirms it... and that feels very heartwarming for me. I think her beautiful voice and her love for dissonant chords..
her guitar-driven sound, are the primary reasons why I'm very drawn to her music. it makes so much more sense now... now that I know that she's inspired by artists who have that certain zazazoo... that seemingly unexplainable insight into the harmony that can be found even in contradictions.
That was fun! I bought 'Who Are You Now' because you featured it a while back. It is def one of my favs! Madison is very talented.
AHHH SHE'S THE BEST. I first saw her "Live at Paste Studios" video and have been a big fan ever since. Masterful guitar playing, singing, songwriting... what a monster!
this interview answered so many questions I wondered about her. THANKS!
i had no idea who madison was before this video, but i am just simply amazed by her playing and personality. this was such a fun and great video. everything in this video was interesting, the questions, experiences, and music all talked about just makes me want to know more and write more music thank you josh!
Wonderful interview and artist by the way...I did not know her.....her first song is very moving and powerful. I must check her out.
Very cool episode. Hadn't heard of Madison before. I'm very impressed.
Fiona Apple's "When The Pawn..." is my favorite album of all times, and this is the first time that i've seen an artist saying it's one of her fav albums. Guitar players never mention that album. Almost no guitar on it.
The last live show I saw, pre-pandemic, was Madison at Le Poisson Rouge NYC 1/29/2020. I can't wait to see her again. She's awesome.
This is great! Kinda in between a podcast and an interview
Wonderful! Hearing some Wendy & Lisa, Charlie Hunter, Marc Ribot. Love it.
John Mayer is definitely going to watch this video!! Haha!! Great video Josh and Madison!
So amazed by how talented maddison is. Super underrated artist.
Excellent interview. First time I've heard of Madison is today Sept 29th 2022.
Thank you for introducing Madison Cunningham to me. Great use of your CZcams channel. Stay healthy and be well.
This is so wonderful and also so nice to hear about Madison’s creative process!
Thanks so much for introducing Madison to me/us. I love the way her recent single is a beautifully recorded instrumental, when she clearly knows how to write vocals!
What a treat. Thank you for that.
Thank you so much for this episode. I must admit I’d never heard of Madison but what an incredible player, loved listening to her and her thoughts on playing and songwriting. Her music is incredible too!
You are always ahead, Josh. I just found out about her - and I've been missing out. This fresh and exciting. Gordon Mote is how I got my lights turned on!! Madison is a breathe of fresh air in every way.
I liked “Fire Proof” so I have to disagree on the movies
This episode is interesting
If young women look to up to Madison the world would be a better place
emitchsr after that comment I thought I was the only one that liked fireproof
Fireproof sucks, specially if you are agnostic like Madison and me. She might have been brought up by a pastor but she thankfully didnt believe it, or she wouldnt have been inspired by Radiohead who the Church think comes from satan.
@@majortom4543 Hi Major, I'm very curious, on what specific factual information are you concluding Madison is agnostic? A couple of years ago, Madison came to (visited) my (Calvary Chapel) church in Petaluma, CA, played 3 songs for both services, one with my pastor, and spoke along with our pastor, (who knew her father if I recall) gave everyone her CD (probably about 300 CD's), and was an absolute joy. She certainly did not appear to be anywhere near agnostic that day. She (her message and music) was more or less what was presented that day for each our two services.
@@davidaustin6271 David, being agnostic does not mean you are in war with christians. She may have thought that was an opportunity to broaden her audience. I heard one or 2 comments of her mentioning agnosticism in one of her interviews but i cant recall which one because i saw many one after the other that day.
One of my favourite artists!
Thanks for this Josh. Great interview. So unique. Brilliant guitarist.
she just gets it. dissonance in playing. Radiohead, Buckley.... Jazzmasters, Vibrato pedals... I'm so happy to have found her music. she's a bad-ass. killer job everyone at JHS. Nick's drumming on the last song is in the pocket. Madison, you rule!
Yeah.....you need to do more of this.
Great interview, questions the best and the answers, WOW
19:00 dude can play the damn bass that's for sure.
I really like seeing people just jam out in the same room. It's been a long time since I've been able to do that.
I got into her music through Josh's Record Time recommendation. Absolutely amazing songwriting. Really cool to see Madison on the show with Josh, and to see her talk about her process and gear. "Song In My Head" is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time
Wonderful interview with a great new talent. Nice jam everyone.
Somehow Bluesy but definitely not Blues. I can hear just a little Paul Simon in the writing. I like how her vocals kind of dance over the dark swirling music underneath.
Obviously I was impressed. Solo singer songwriter girls aren't my usual tea but I feel like I could pick up her record and really enjoy it.
Great video! Thanks
The jams sound like something you'd hear in a roadhouse in a David Lynch film. Kudos.
