Taylor Soundcheck is back with another genre-bending performance featuring Chris DeMakes and Roger Lima from Florida ska-rockers Less Than Jake. From the Taylor showroom in Nashville, Tennessee, the duo talks about growing into their music careers by starting on acoustic guitars and the power of stripping back music to its bare bones. In between stories from their 30+ year career, Chris and Roger played acoustic versions of “Soundtrack of My Life,” “Gainesville City Rock,” and “American Idle,” with Chris playing an AD17e and Roger playing an AD17e Blacktop and a 314ce.
