I have been watching and listening to a lot of guitarist interviews lately and thought it would be fun to start a thread so we can share some of our favourite interviews (YouTube videos or podcast episodes). I've really been enjoying Mary Spender's YouTube channel and this week she posted an interview with Mark Lettieri. It made me think of @J.Rod who introduced me to Mark's signature PRS in another thread.
What other interviews should I check out?
@Chelsea
Thanks for sharing that. I do follow and enjoy Mary Spencer's youtube page and did see that interview. :-)
I'll add these 3 to the thread. PRS Long Distance. Paul Reed Smith calls to talk with PRS guitar players. More can be found on the youtube page playlist.

Awesome! I've watched a couple of the PRS Long Distance videos, and they're great! I'll definitely make sure to watch these too. Thanks for sharing! :)
Oh my... where do I start. Well, most of my favorite guitarist interviews are not with my favorite guitarists. For some reason that is the way it's just worked out. One exception is this interview with Ty Tabor of King's X. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysxHPgHY5Bwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysxHPgHY5Bw
Another way to say this is that I haven't found sources for interviews with my personal favorite players, but I have found some awesome podcasts/youtube channels that do a ton of interviews with guitarists that I admire a lot. Here are some of my favorite guitar based interview shows. Check out the YouTube channel or Podcast depending on which format you prefer.
Everyone Loves Guitar - I can't say enough good things about this show. You learn the gritty details of the guitarists history and hear some awesome jamming between them and the shows host (Jude Gold) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIvxuNZ8aegmO3hzjOR8yng
No Guitar Is Safe - This is the quintessential guitar nerd show. Popular and obscure guitarists get into detail about their music and jam with the host Jude Gold. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/no-guitar-is-safe/id1020669587
Brian Sword - Another detailed YT channel that features some more obscure guitar players. https://www.youtube.com/user/BrianSwordOfficial
I knew you'd have some fantastic suggestions! :)
