Strum and Strumber (also styled Strum & Strumber) is a guitar show on YouTube hosted by guitarist Sam Kaufmann alongside fellow Berklee-battered co-conspirator Roger Fearing — two tone-hardened veterans who are still learning the hard way. The show blends real guitar wisdom, gear talk, and aggressively honest advice.
Episodes break down the myths, mistakes, habits, and gear delusions that keep guitarists stuck — because let’s be real: your amp sounds fine, it’s you.
Every week includes a playing challenge that even these two numbnuts must attempt. They’ll come back the following week and play their results completely uncensored, whether it’s brilliant, embarrassing, or grounds for a wellness check. No excuses, no edits, no hiding behind pedals.
If you want actual improvement, real talk, gear sanity, and two middle-aged musicians roasting themselves as hard as they roast you…
you’re home.
(yes, we’re idiots, but we also know things)
