    The fact that this man can casually bust out the Chucky lick mid-convo like it's Smoke On The Water is still baffling to me. One of the best players ever without a doubt.

    Incredibly excited to watch this! Been looking forward to a proper Rig Rundown with him for a LOOOONG time. I know Will usually buys like 4-6 new pedals every album cycle to invent new sounds/tones so I'm curious what makes the cut for a touring pedalboard!

    When he got to the part where he’s says that he is self taught and doesn’t understand music theory makes me appreciate Will that much more. That’s exactly how I am and how I write music. What’s weird and strange is that I had a very similar conversation today showing someone my new demos. Guess I’m just gonna not question things and stick to the songs I’ve got working. Thanks for the added inspiration Will
