    Mike's 4 guitar pickups really add to the fullness of his sound. Especially the robust sound of his open chords. I am pleased to find that he is fully cognizant of the possible noise his complex setup can produce. Like the "zing" sound. In many interviews, the guitarists leave their voice microphone on while they play, so extra noises like the zing are more pronounced, but odd for those of us who are only familiar with just the internal pickups from their recordings.

    A very quick and brief name drop of Michael Hedges. Funny how as I listened to Dawes explain some processes, and I instantly thought of Hedges - then he drops the name. Simply amazing that Hedges has been gone for 27 years, yet still has influence on today's most cutting edge and creative musicians. Hedges would have been 70 this year. He would be absolutely blown away with Dawes' improvements and ideas. Will definitely be checking out some Galactic Acid. Thanks Tyler ♥

    Jon Gomm, Hey Child. Guitar drifting, smooth solo, great vocals ... and then some random Joe Satriani inspired inspired shredding with the perfect amount of overdrive and effects. If you haven't heard it, or if its been over a decade like it was for myself, GO HAVE A LISTEN!!! Quite literally one of the best tunes ever written/played.
    Side note ... if you could get Jon Gomm in for an interview that would be amazing. Great content as always Tyler, thanks for keeping the guitar nerds entertained :)

    I have exactly the same shirt! Dreaming In A Blue World! 1990 Surfing With The Alien tour! I did a meet'n'greet with Joe on the Shockwave Supernova tour which I took 2nd place in the tour poster contest for! I waited until I was the last guy in line to get my axe signed, I asked Joe "what year?" while pointing at the shirt. He gets this big smile on and tells me the whole story. So Marvel had signed off on the album cover for Surfing, no problem. When they hit the road Marvel issued a cease & desist for the merch, Joe said if they'd paid for the rights it would have busted the tour, so instead they opted to stop selling the red and silver Surfing shirts and go with the next album's title instead, only Flying In A Blue Dream had many working titles and nobody was quite sure which one would end up on the album cover, we know now that they guessed wrong!
