He is a talker for sure. I enjoyed the interview.

mahalo for the link—one of my living guitar heroes. his lead playing can be so intense and captivating and i love how soulful his phrasing is with vibrato, staccato-to-fluid scale and volume dynamics and funky syncopation.
doug rappaport is another favorite with those similar qualities.

Here he is 30 years ago hanging with Shawn Lane. He has been a great player for a long time. You have probably seen this before but if not:

Beato made him cry. I give this video a full “Five Tear” rating.

what’s kinda weird is i think i prefer his older tones. although it’s cool his raw dawg sig model is $500, i think he needs some sniderman lessons in amps!

It’s sad to think he went from Marshalls to Mesa Rectifiers, to a signature Two Rock amp, only to play thru his current toy/ junk amps. Greg Howe as well. DV Mark pos

I have seen him with the Two Rock and lots of cool amps and he does seem to go where the endorsement deals take him. Guitars and amps. I have seen him be amazing and as good as anyone ever live and then not as good but that guy can play his ass off and has always had it. Glad that he showed his love for EJ and SRV and guys that influenced him. Shawn Lane and others certainly dug him in his younger years and glad he's still out there doing it. I preferred him before the God talk and rambling about life during his shows and wish he would just shut up and play guitar.

He was one of the people at a Paul Gilbert guitar camp I went to, to say he acted weird there is an understatement.

Killer player who is unique (which is hard to do these days). Saw him at a small club where I live and he was awesome. It seems like he has his life together and that is positive. Guys like him can sound killer on any rig. He was playing the Two Rock when I saw him and the tone was ripping my head off. I had to move lol. Love his chords and tonality - he doesn't voice stuff like the regular blues cats and I love it. I guess playing the guitar upside down has benefits ha.
