What's It About?
It's about an hour. It’s about guitars. Welcome to the online extension of Tom Nothnagle's nearly two-decade-running weekly live cablecast from Iowa City, Iowa where you'll find video, audio, photos and resources devoted to all things guitaristic.
Watch the Show
It’s about guitar players and guitar playing. Flamenco-bomba, sure! Slack key, why not? Baroque, bottleneck, bossa nova… just name it! He’s called Guitar Tom because he plays guitars, he plays them well, and he plays them a lot in just about any style on just about anything with frets (and some without).
Call the Show
It’s a family show. If you want to talk about guitars, guitar playing, about sitars, guitarróns, kitharas, ouds, lutes, vihuelas, banjos, bouzoukis or balalaikas, even pipe organs, piccolos, politics or your own personality problems, just call Tom.
Join In
It's Live. Whether you’re looking for ideas for better technique, ways to feed and groom your guitar, how to put that old plywood acoustic with the broken neck out to pasture, or any other issues that interest you about "all things guitaristic," Tom's here to help. Each episode is original, with callers and crew adding to the mix.
Drink Coffee
The last Tuesday of each month, the show is hosted live upstairs at Uptown Bill's. Enjoy coffee or specialty sodas, shop their used book collection, and watch a theme-based episode of the show with guests and readings on the Uptown Bill's stage.
