The smooth string bender from Estonia sits down with John Bohlinger and cover his interesting journey from the Baltic to Broadway. He talks about finding his musical home alongside Sturgill Simpson, touring with Drivin N Cryin, learning about country music a world apart from it, and recording his solo instrumental album. Sit back and enjoy the slide ride!
The metal veterans keep it old-school with classic 6-strings, loud amps, and a push from some choice pedals.
Guitarists Nick Cogan and Cory Galusha lead the service with Jazzmasters, Les Pauls, and a mix of tube and transistor amps.
Perry Bean cut his teeth touring and playing in punk rock and hardcore bands, before he got his start in film. He worked his way up from lowly production assistant to become a producer, art director, and most recently, a music video director nominated for ACM, CMT, and CMA awards. Being Premier Guitar's Chief Videographer was a perfect fit for him, combining his two favorite things—guitars and cameras. Perry doesn't have free time, but his massive dog Beef pays his rent by being Perry's intern.
More potent humbuckers and a more substantial bridge help make Gibson's still-radical bass heavier than ever.
