In this Collective Whisper podcast, Simon K interviews guitar legend Carl Verheyen. Renowned for exceptional guitar skills and a versatile career, Verheyen, guitarist for Supertramp and leader of the Carl Verheyen Band, has left an indelible mark on the music industry. As a sought-after session guitarist in Los Angeles, his artistry knows no bounds.

Verheyen's guitar prowess earned him significant recognition, ranked by Guitar Magazine as One of the World's Top 10 Guitarists. He also received the prestigious Best Guitarist award at the LA Music Awards. Collaborating with esteemed artists like The Bee Gees and Dolly Parton, his genius extends to film soundtracks and TV shows like Cheers and Scrubs.

Beyond performing, Verheyen served as an adjunct instructor at USC Thornton School of Music and performed at Musicians Institute (MI) in Hollywood, California. His instructional books, "Improvising Without Scales" and "Studio City," are cherished resources for musicians.

In 1985, Verheyen's journey shifted as he joined Supertramp for their 1985-1986 world tour. In 1996, he officially became a Supertramp member, contributing to the album "Some Things Never Change" and subsequent tours.

Founded in 1987, the Carl Verheyen Band, initially Carl Verheyen Group, gained quick recognition, showcasing Verheyen's diverse musical expressions.

  • Carl's current projects
  • How the album changes after the tour
  • Changing from an analog to a digital guitar rig
  • Discovering your sound
  • Carl's first NAMM show 30 years ago
  • Playing using complex rigs
  • The fun of keeping it simple
  • Let's go back in time
  • Studying sheet music to open your musical mind

  • Personal bias in your music
  • Getting starstruck
  • Having your voice heard as a session player
