- Ryan Wright Did you have a chance to see the traveling SRV exhibit at the Grammy Museum? They have Number One (along with a TON of Stevie's personal gear). It's currently in Cleveland Mississippi, and well worth the trip to go see. I made the trip myself, and it was incredible!! It should be there until October I believe...
- Dario Giugliano Hi Anthony, will you ever make an "ain't gonna give up on love" style series? Greetings from Rome, italy
- Thomas Mc Gonnell When you first decided to pick up guitar did you start with the electric or acoustic? I recall hearing you say you don't play acoustic much. But I'm wondering if you started on one.
- Craig Hornsby Being from the UK I highly recommend a Blackstar for multiple tonal sounds. Currently using an artist series and can do a very good Fender amp sound, but is versatile to do many genres. Keep up the good work.
- João André Whats your opinion on John Mayer?
- Benjamin Tharin Was there anything in your musical career that you regret doing / not doing as a seasoned musician now ?
- Pedro Barreto Gamboa Do you think guitarists are likely to begin using profiling amps and software when performing LIVE or you feel tube amps or even solid state amps are gonna stay for a bit longer? I never was a gigging musician. I have done some performances and always used real amps, but the sound of some software is just so good. What's your take on this?...See More
