Al Gore would be proud! :P

Seriously, it's good to see pro player's using George's amps. It's even better that he is willing to help regular players with their tone goals without a "holier than thou" attitude! Congrats George! :)

Sweet! David is soooo cool! I seen him this past week. His hospitality and talent are second to none. Pure class!

I meant to tell you guys, I also got to talk to Rene Martinez for a while. He techs for John these days. He has been the man side stage for SRV, Carlos Santana and more. A wealth of info and unbelievable experience with legendary guitar players.

Those world-class techs should write books on what they have seen and learned in their careers.

Matt Bruck (VH's tech) did one a little while back.

I know a couple of guys how do the guitar tech stuff for a living. One tours with Lenny Kravitz, the other toured with Robben Ford for 12 years, now does it on & off with RF, mostly with Macy Gray (singer) now. They DO have stories to tell...most of them boring, but their technical expertise should be pooled and they should put out a book.
