Welcome back to We Move Through Stormy Weather! For episode two, I am SO excited to be joined by the inimitable Amar Sastry! Amar is a musician who lives in upstate New York - you may know him from his fantastic Anatomy of a Jam videos on YouTube or his guitar covers on social media! He got into Phish around 1997 and started seeing the band in 2003. The two of us dive into Tube in this episode (plus some tangents to other Phish-related subjects), focusing on its evolution from a simple piano-led jaunt to the monster jammer it is today! Enjoy!Ryan's Pick: 11/3/18 VegasAmar's Pick: 12/30/03 Miami

Episode 2 - Tube with Amar Sastry

Episode 75 is the second half of my conversation with musician, podcaster, Youtuber, Dad and all-around awesome guy: Amar Sastry. You may know Amar from his Anatomy of a Jam series on Youtube or his tweets breaking down and playing portions of Phish songs on his acoustic guitar or his work on the Osiris Media podcast network's video version of The Drop (which is also done as a podcast). Amar is all over the map... in a very good way.If you didn't somehow catch the first part of our conversation, you really must. This episode picks up immediately where the previous episode ended: with Amar walking us through what he remembers of his family's move from rural India to New York when he was just 5 or 6 years old.His story is so refreshing. I know I don't speak for everyone, and I would never claim anything of the sort... but, hearing about what it's like for people to come from much humbler means to a new home with a far different situation and lifestyle. It's hard not to, but we really can so easily take so much for granted in our lives.I know that not everyone has the opportunity in their lives to travel to different countries. I feel extremely fortunate to have visited multiple foreign countries in my lifetime. As odd as it may sound, I truly relish the time I've spent in places where people do not have the extravagances that are easily attainable where I live. Every time I have returned home from a place like that, it's like my eyes are opened anew to the reality of the world that we live in, rather than just the microcosm of where I have spent the majority of my life.We leapfrogged rapidly to Amar's work that he does with regards to music... which is pretty widespread. We got right into how Amar decided to start creating videos for Youtube. I'll type some of my favorite quotes by Amar during this part of our conversation below:"I think music theory has completely ruined an entire generation of guitar players". "Music is the one place where we should feel free... where we shouldn't have rules."We talked about his work on his "Anatomy of a Jam" videos on Youtube and then I started to fanboy out and tell him how much I get out of the videos that he posts on Twitter, predominantly of him playing a section of a Phish song on his acoustic guitar. Near the beginning of this episode, I included a full version he shared with me of his take on "When The Circus Comes To Town", a Los Lobos tune that Phish covers.You can find more about Amar at his website: www.amarguitar.com or by watching his Youtube channel, also named amarguitar and you can follow his Twitter at username @brahmin_noodles.Daddy Unscripted can be found on:iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher Radio | Google Play | Tune-In RadioTwitter: @DaddyUnscriptedFacebook: Daddy UnscriptedWebsite: www.daddyunscripted.comDaddy Unscripted is proud to be a part of the Osiris Podcast Network!

Amar Sastry: Anatomy Of A Man Who Jams Pt. 2

Episode 74 is the first half of my conversation with musician, podcaster, Youtuber, Dad and all-around awesome guy: Amar Sastry. You may know Amar from his Anatomy of a Jam series on Youtube or his tweets breaking down and playing portions of Phish songs on his acoustic guitar or his work on the Osiris Media podcast network's video version of The Drop (which is also done as a podcast). Amar is all over the map... in a very good way. We kicked off the episode talking about a lot of the "new parent stuff" that Amar and his wife are going through, being around a year and a half into the parental game with their little girl. For anyone near my age, I mentioned a blast from the past phrase: "kids having kids". Or was it "babies having babies"? Either way, that section of our discussion ended with a rousing cheer by me of: "You go, Geriatrics!" Eventually, we worked our way into the history of Amar through his father and his grandparents. It was very interesting to hear about some of their mindset and the ways that their surroundings shaped them, in many different ways than I'd reckon that happened for a lot of us. Our conversation turned to us talking about some of the things that hold a lot of us back from taking on things in life. It rolled into a solid discussion about fear and behaviors and changing our mindset and patterns in order to take control of our lives a little more and basically raging against some of the ways we are wired as humans.I was totally surprised when I told Amar about my time in India with a previous job that I was in the city of Bangalore, and that happens to be where Amar has spent a lot of his time, as well, since he has family there. I told Amar about the hilarity of my experience with the cultural phenomenon some may call the "Indian head wobble" or bobble. Don't believe me? Look it up. Part of Wikipedia's description will show you how confusing it can be... read this: "...a form of nonverbal communication, it may mean yes, good, maybe, ok, or I understand..." It makes me laugh a little that this is pretty much where this first portion of our conversation ended. But, it just fit well and didn't break into the next chunk of our discussion at all. Not only will you have to check out Part 2 with Amar for that... you'll want to hear that. Take my word for it.As I randomly decided to give kind of an advertisement/shout-out to this great product, I will remind you to check out www.WolfmanWhiskers.com for any of you men who need some fantastical beard balm and other products of that sort.You can find more about Amar at his website: www.amarguitar.com or by watching his Youtube channel, also named amarguitar and you can follow his Twitter at username @brahmin_noodles. Daddy Unscripted can be found on:iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher Radio | Google Play | Tune-In RadioTwitter: @DaddyUnscriptedFacebook: Daddy UnscriptedWebsite: www.daddyunscripted.comDaddy Unscripted is proud to be a part of the Osiris Podcast Network!
