        All of us appreciate the artists taking the time as well as Evan and all at Duncan for giving us this opportunity.
        Thank you for YOUR support. It's definitely appreciated.

          Hey Blues,

          Thanks for all the funky music!

          One aspect of your playing/soloing that a lot of people appreciate is that it moves, grooves and swings... the note choices, the feel... it's all there.

          What advice would you give to someone who is trying to incorporate these aspects to their playing?

          Thanks!

            It's simple. The reason I tend to go towards a PAF is they sound the most natural and the least false. If you have a good guitar sound and it sounds good clean, I let the amps do the work. Because I use the volume pot and let the amps do the work, it's important for me to start with a good clean sound.

            Date Miley Cyrus! No, not really.

            I'd like to get my career to the point where I can pick and choose all the artists and talent I work with. There are a lot of artists out there that I could learn from.

              OK. So who is the artist you would most like to work with?

                Absorb it all as an overview, not lick-by-lick or piece-by-piece. My problem with a lot of current artists is that they don't have their own thing going on and how excited can I get about that?

                What impresses me the most is having an identifiable sound. I am very un-excited by people who are great at the execution, but don't have their own sound.

                    Toss up between Rick Rubin and Quentin Tarantino.

                      That's fine.

                        Blues...when you are working with a Marshall amp, do you have a favorite model that you use? Old school Plexi or 800 or something more modern. It seems that most great guitarists always talk about "this one amp", and it was either lost, stolen or something.

                          The Marshalls I favor are always the four-input old school Plexis.

                          The only amp that's irreplaceable for me is the very first original Dirty Boy that my dad built for me on the kitchen table. With guitars and amps, I'm very particular. It's like people, you meet a lot in your life, but you'll only be friends with a few of them. When I find something I really like, I try not to get rid of it.

                            Blues, first of all, thanks for spending time with us. Second, you're one of the longest continuous signature Seymour Duncan artists. And correct me if I'm wrong, but on your end, your relationship with us is your longest. What is it about Seymour Duncan that works for you?

                              At the end of the day, all my guitars sound better with a Duncan pickup. They just do. I don't know why or how. But they do.

                              A buddy of mine is a gear dude and he has every pickup under the sun. But I don't know why, but the Duncan stuff just works for me. For me, it's about the tone.
