BobH on 06/18/2012	Cool! You interviewed John Jorgenson. He's a class act and a heck of a nice person... and he knows an absolute ton about gear.
tony g. on 04/16/2012	Bob you live, it's been thirty years, glad to see you're still workin. Great stuff, hope to see you and the fellas later this year. t

Not alot of gear; simple, effective, high quality, portable hardware for the traveling musician. That's a great takeaway for me. And I noticed that he's got his settings flat, and will let the instruments do the rest. Kudos to Premier Guitar scoring the interview!
jason on 03/29/2012	I've visited with JJ a couple times and he's an incredible musician (YES he plays the bejeebers out of the clarinet as well as most stringed instruments) Super nice guy and a player's player.

blaine on 03/28/2012	What a stellar player and generous man. So much wonderful informaton I've watched it over and over. Even his little noodling around on the instruments is inspiring.
