When I was 14 my dad took me to my first ABB show in 1996 and we were front row and center. I was having the absolute time of my life and Warren noticed me because I was by FAR the youngest person up front. So between songs he walked over to Dickey and pointed me out to him and they told a roadie to bring them an Eat A Peach shirt and they both signed it and they walked right to the end of the stage and pointed at me and made sure the shirt landed right in my hands! Not long after that I picked up guitar and am 41 now and have been playing religiously ever since. Warren Haynes is still to this day besides Clapton my favorite player on earth and the Gov't Mule album Dose was a modern day Disraeli Gears for me! STILL a masterpiece and I got to see the original Mule in all their glory during that tour and they DESTROYED Frampton AND that version of Skynyrd that night and I absolutely worship at the altar of Gary Rossington but man the Mule back in those days were in world domination mode! Thanks for everything Warren! Guitar has shaped my life in SO many ways!
Me and my buddies I learned to play with have been mule and abb fans since round 93 94 I guess…he’s met warren and Derek and cut a album with Johnny Neil yrs back…
man, when you talk about "dose" you were tellin the stone truth about that record. epic from start to finish. i spent sooo many hours learning to play every song as close i could to how he does it, and i learned sooo much. i would be embarrassed to admit how long it took me. glad you mentioned that album, it's one of my all time favorites
What a great guy! Warren Haynes is not only a great guitar player with great ears, but he is also a Gentleman with a capital G. Thanks for showing us your rig sir!
Oh, and the story that he told about the Les Paul that was "unsellable" reminded me that - years ago, when I was saving up for my first Les Paul - I had a photo of him with that very guitar as the wallpaper on my computer screen. :)
It's Warren's fault I ever bought an Les Paul, being a Strat guy at heart like I am. But I the clip of him at the Dave Matthews Band gig at Central Park on an extremely large screen TV, and I was just blown away.
Listen to his solo (and singing) on "All Rise Again" (Blackberry Smoke, You Hear Georgia album) I think it's the best slide solo I've ever heard. It makes me smile everytime I hear it. There's also a video for the song, it's one of those cool "making of the song" videos in the studio...check it out if you haven't heard it
john i want you to meet all these guitarists and to be able to talk and approach their instruments and their effects, i would like to do like you. How lucky to have been able to meet Warren Haynes ... many thanks from France ... RIP Brian Farmer ❤
Warren is my favourite guitarist and I was lucky enough to buy him a beer at a gig in Wyoming in 1999. I'd never seen him play before and I was travelling in the USA from Australia when I saw Gov't Mule at Jackson Hole but didn't realise who they were.. I was blown away by their music and when they had a break I was at the bar when Warren came up so I bought him a beer and told him how much I enjoyed his guitar playing. He was very down to earth and thanked me for the beer and we had a little chat. It wasn't until I sat back down and asked a couple of locals who he was that I realised he was the great Warren Haynes from ABB and Ive been a fan ever since !! I can't wait for the new album to add to my collection .
His playing is so good that it is easy to overlook what a great singer he is, too. Combining those two in one person really shows how insanely talented he is as a musician.
I've met Warren several times at Government Mule gigs back in the 90's when they were playing smaller clubs. Some of the best music i've ever had the privilege of listening to. And Warren and the late Allen Woodie were always great to chat with.
I had the pleasure of meeting Warren 20 years ago. He came into my local boutique guitar and amp store to buy an older SLO100. He's a genuinely nice person, humble, and a monster guitar player.
Warren has been, without a doubt, my favorite player since I first heard him during his initial run with the Allman Bros.and Mule has been my number one band since it's inception. Besides his great playing, songwriting, and influence on my own playing he is one of the most humble, down to earth, nicest professionals one could ever meet. Thank you for this great Rig Rundown and much thanks and love to Warren for sharing his gift with us
I saw him and Dicky with Allman Bros live around '93. What a show. They both played great and had Soldano stacks that sounded amazing. It was a good venue.
13:40 I love how Warren mentions mini humbuckers as opposed to Firebird pickups... They're a completely different thing, it's great that he mentions that.
Great player - very underrated. I love the live stuff with Government Mule. Warren Haynes has played with everyone. Classic unique blues tone who can switch to other styles like jazz
Seriously-just how good is Warren Haynes-what a player-and what a really great singer which is often overlooked.Hell of a job being his guitar tech though.Bring on the new Mule album!!!
And very special sounding too. Btw - did you notice the text on the truss rod cover? "TOLV" - that is 12 in danish/swedish/norwegian when written out in letters. Wonder who put that text on it?
Warren came into my pharmacy where I worked as he needed a script for his wife. When I saw him, I had a grin a mile wide. He let me go home to my house grab my R9 and proceeded to sign the back of it. Topped it off with a picture of the 2 of us with said R9. Great tone and a great man. He's done a lot for Asheville to boot.
Warren Haynes is such a highly underrated guitarist. I love how he talks about making the guitar "speak" with a "vocabulary," which is the hallmark of a guitar player who has something to say while playing.
I have seen him live with Gov't Mule. Listening to him through my 2-channel system, his guitar tone sounds so real and present. I have learned to respect a lot of Gov't Mule's recording quality in how they capture the essence of the sound.
Saw Warren with the Mule at the Madison Theater in KY, still have the pick he thru in audience. One of my most cherished memorabilia!! Thanks PG for the walk down memory lane. Love to nerd out to the Greats and their gear!!
Warren is a legend to say the least. Always has amazing tone and feel. One of my all time favorites! Such an incredible musician and humble man. I’ve seen him many many times. Seen him with the Warren Haynes band, Govt Mule and the ABB. Some of the best shows I’ve ever seen!
Great insight into a fantastic guitarist. Just awesome. And a big shout out to John Bolinger! What a legend. So many great interviews and gear reviews from someone who really knows their stuff, and with most perfect posture! Love your work John. Keep up the great work.
Warren is such a humble cool cat , always a pleasure seeing him live and after shows he’s just so kind to everyone. And of course totally bad ass guitar player and underrated songwriter. Thanks for getting Warren to do this it was a pleasure
Wow What a great intervuie Warren He just seems so real down to earth .. real nice guy to talk to this was a realy great intervuie God Bless W .P i realy injoy hearing from my hero's thank you so much for taking the time to show us
Cool story- I was delivering a part to a repair shop several years ago; as I passed a long haired gent that just oozed aura; I literally stopped; turned around and said; “man you look really familiar?” He goes “oh yeah”; I say; “yeah- you look just like Warren Haynes”…he laughs and says; “yeah I get that a lot”…So I go; “Are you Warren Haynes?!?” He smiled and said “Yes Sir” :)) it was just the two of us; so I was able to calmly speak to him about all the ABB and Govt Mule shows I had seen. We spoke about Butch Trucks; who had just passed…He had a Tesla Car :) Total gentleman. We played Soulshine at my Brother’s Funeral- Warrens just a blessing to the World. Carry On Sir. True Legend ❤
Lots of love for Warren!! Man, the Allman Brothers family has some eerie dates in their lore. Warren mentioned the much loved Brian Farmer. Brian passed Aug 24 2014 and Allen Woody passed Aug 26 2000. Duane Allman passed Oct 29 1971 and one year and 2 weeks later and 3 blocks away from Duane's accident, Berry Oakley passed. Sorry to point out somber moments, but they were all important, loved and should be remembered
the late night set Mule played at Bonnaroo in 2008 is one of the best sets of music ever played by any band ever. I mean they did No Quarter and Since I've Been Lovin you WITH John Paul Jones. Sugaree with Bob Dylan. some blues with Luther Dickinson. etc. etc.
Haven’t played slide in awhile.. you’ll have to excuse me (butterysweetgrimey tones begin to fill the air)… his playing forces your face/body into that down n dirty vibe and sends shivers thru your spine..
First saw him when I was 10 in 2000 with Phil Lesh and friends.. him and jimmy herring together is absolute magic, they know so well how to complement each other
Saw the Allmans in 91 at the Philadelphia Spectrum,Little Feat opened up. Seen them 22 times after. Warren has the best roadhouse southern dixie fried tone
Man, what a great rundown. We just saw them on this current tour and as usual, Warren and the band killed it. I've seen them about a dozen times or so over the years and it seems that every time they seem better than ever.
Awesome - big fan of Warren's playing for a long time. He gets a crazy amount of tones by just plugging straight into the amp.....its all in the hands!
What a wonderful review and great chat with Warren. He is by far the best blues, guitarist I’ve ever heard, and I’ve been playing the blues myself for over 30 years. Love your style I love the way he moves between notes with that small accent note on the backend of most riffs.

That’s was an enjoyable read!!!
Very cool….
🎶✊🏼☮️🏴☠️

I love how Bohlinger is always genuinely like a kid in a candy store. Keep bringing these rig rundowns!
I agree.....also glad when he gave up hair dye....😮
I would be too with Warren!
Yep, he's definitely the right guy for the job. Even with the white hair now he still seems like my 5 year-old Grandson learning something new.
There’s no way Warren isn’t the most humble guitar hero out there. Seems like such a genuinely nice guy.
he IS GENUINELY A GOOD, KIND MAN
I have spoken with Warren on several occasions ... He IS the kindest and greatest guy! His heart is as big as his riffs!
What a great guy! Warren Haynes is not only a great guitar player with great ears, but he is also a Gentleman with a capital G. Thanks for showing us your rig sir!
Absolutely love Warren's playing and touch, great voice..he's been an influence on me for decades...an American treasure Forsure...
Finally a new Warren Haynes Rig Rundown, thanks Premier Guitar. His tone is amazing as usual.
Rock on!
@@premierguitar RIP Farmer. What a guy he was -- John, scoot on over to AVL and let's see a #WillRay rundown! That'd be a kick...
That white Firebird sounds fantastic!
Best soldano tone ever, I love how kind of higher-than-expected gain tones Warren goes for, yet they work so well
You're joking right? The amp started the higain cascade tone used like a Marshall?
Him and Eddie Van Halen on F.U.C.K. and Balance. Same head, they sound incredible and are tough to find and expensive to buy.
Warren Haynes made me fall in love with the electric guitar. His tone, musicianship, and gracious nature are a gift. Thank you for posting this!
Oh, and the story that he told about the Les Paul that was "unsellable" reminded me that - years ago, when I was saving up for my first Les Paul - I had a photo of him with that very guitar as the wallpaper on my computer screen. :)
It's Warren's fault I ever bought an Les Paul, being a Strat guy at heart like I am. But I the clip of him at the Dave Matthews Band gig at Central Park on an extremely large screen TV, and I was just blown away.
& dont he have more soul in his playing than anybody else in the genre?
Listen to his solo (and singing) on "All Rise Again" (Blackberry Smoke, You Hear Georgia album) I think it's the best slide solo I've ever heard. It makes me smile everytime I hear it. There's also a video for the song, it's one of those cool "making of the song" videos in the studio...check it out if you haven't heard it
Warren is one of the best to ever do it. I listen to live Mule albums religiously. It’s a shame Allen Woody isn’t there to show off his rig with him.
Warren is a living legend. I feel so blessed to have seen him in the Allman Brothers and from the very beginning of Mule.
Man the early days they were badass….I said that like they fell off….not a chance
@@charlesmullins3238 I still miss seeing/hearing Allen Woody in the Mule.
@@mikeheuer1276 many all over the world love him
Thanks Guys, Warren definitely has one of the sweetest guitar tones of all time
We agree!
He is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time.
Yes, quite sweet tones always! Really a tasteful player who can burn with the best of them when he wants to.
I'd REALLY DIG tosee/hear Warren jam with Blackberry Smoke
So great to see Warren touring again and in good health. My favorite slide player and a true legend. Keep rock'in
Great rundown. Poignant to hear Brian's name. RIP to a great soul.
john i want you to meet all these guitarists and to be able to talk and approach their instruments and their effects, i would like to do like you. How lucky to have been able to meet Warren Haynes ... many thanks from France ... RIP Brian Farmer ❤
Love this rig Rundown Warren Haynes is such a killer guitarist his tone is outstanding and his voice is true to the music.
Warren is my favourite guitarist and I was lucky enough to buy him a beer at a gig in Wyoming in 1999.

Haynes is an all-time favorite. Happy to see he's slimmer in recent years as I'd like him to stick around for a good long time.
Warren has been, without a doubt, my favorite player since I first heard him during his initial run with the Allman Bros.and Mule has been my number one band since it's inception. Besides his great playing, songwriting, and influence on my own playing he is one of the most humble, down to earth, nicest professionals one could ever meet. Thank you for this great Rig Rundown and much thanks and love to Warren for sharing his gift with us
My favorite guitar player! Warren Haynes 👏👏
Firebird with the P90's was absolutely THE BEST TONE of all the guitars via RUclips while listening on my studio speakers! Holy cow! Just perfection.
That section just hit and my jaw dropped! What a sound!
Warren’s got one of my all time favorite tones!! One of my all time favs!! (And he went to my high school)
This man is a treasure. Thanks a lot for this episode!
I've never clicked on a video so fast when I saw this was released. Warren is sensational.
Play on, Warren!
I saw him and Dicky with Allman Bros live around '93. What a show. They both played great and had Soldano stacks that sounded amazing. It was a good venue.
Love listening to Jeff Beck (RIP) Great job Warren!!
16:00 what a sound
Warren is a down to earth humble guy. Love when your heroes are cool !
Top of the mountain right here…when he flipped that switch on the 12 hair stood up….just twist all the way to the right on volume knob
13:40 I love how Warren mentions mini humbuckers as opposed to Firebird pickups... They're a completely different thing, it's great that he mentions that.
Warren is one of my favorite musicians and his Les Paul neck tone is the best! He's so versatile and is great at slide and is a very good singer.
John himself is one of my favourite guitarists. Love Gov't Mule
Amazing tones coming out of that rig, but props to Warren Haynes for still being such a great player.
Great player - very underrated.
I love the live stuff with Government Mule.
Warren Haynes has played with everyone. Classic unique blues tone who can switch to other styles like jazz
Seriously-just how good is Warren Haynes-what a player-and what a really great singer which is often overlooked.Hell of a job being his guitar tech though.Bring on the new Mule album!!!
That P90 Bird !!! Wow that thing sounds amazing
Love the way he rakes the strings. So unique
Yes, great pick attack!
The 12 string Les Paul is fabulous! Ive never seen one of those.
And very special sounding too.
Btw - did you notice the text on the truss rod cover? "TOLV" - that is 12 in danish/swedish/norwegian when written out in letters. Wonder who put that text on it?
I love Warren. Super cool guy. He’s a staple in the music scene far as I’m concerned. Just a monster on guitar and tone.
Dig the way Warren plays. First done seen him with Bobby bustin out Dead tunes. Keepin the blues rock alive and well.
Warren came into my pharmacy where I worked as he needed a script for his wife. When I saw him, I had a grin a mile wide. He let me go home to my house grab my R9 and proceeded to sign the back of it. Topped it off with a picture of the 2 of us with said R9.
Great tone and a great man. He's done a lot for Asheville to boot.
warren is a down to earth amzing guy, excellent player, a true artist and unique..
What a gift this man brings to music lovers across the globe. Long live Warren and long live Govt Mule.🥁🎸🎹🎤⚡🎶🔊🔥
Warren Haynes is such a highly underrated guitarist. I love how he talks about making the guitar "speak" with a "vocabulary," which is the hallmark of a guitar player who has something to say while playing.

I suspect he’s a nice dude away from the camera too.
Consummate professional
Great guy
Incredible tone
I lived in Ashville NC. worked with a couple ppl that went to school with Warren, always spoke highly of him.
the quackiness of that LP in a beck tune is gratifying.
Warren is such a humble cool cat , always a pleasure seeing him live and after shows he’s just so kind to everyone. And of course totally bad ass guitar player and underrated songwriter. Thanks for getting Warren to do this it was a pleasure
Thanks!
Great player, and damn he's worked his butt off too and still manages to be a gent as well. I hope we get him over to the UK soon. I shall be there.
Warren Haynes, one of my fav guitarists of all time! Hs touch, his tone is just the best!
Warren is one of the very best on the face of the Earth. A good guy with a monster talent and tone for days on end.
I learned so much from this guy back when he would write stuff for Harmony Central. This is over 20 years ago. Cool episode!
Man I remember all those harmony central posts too!
I wld print em all out and refer back to em lol! Made
My day reading this post!
@Brent Baron the "good ol' days"
Finally a rig rundown with the Man Himself
Warren is pure feeling...
Wow What a great intervuie Warren He just seems so real down to earth .. real nice guy to talk to this was a realy great intervuie God Bless W .P i realy injoy hearing from my hero's thank you so much for taking the time to show us
What a fantastic and versatile player. Even more so a great guy and humble, perhaps underrated to the mainstream. Thanks for the video.
Cool to see an updated rig rundown. Never knew the story behind the tobacco Lester before. Definitely miss Farmer.
All of his guitars have amazing tone. Woof! 😍💯😍👍
Class act. Thank you, Mr Haynes, John & Premier Guitar :)
That 335 sounds insane, im usually not a huge 335 fan but that guitar has none of the thin harshness that i dont like, thats a nice piece!
Shout out to Bohlinger for just being an all around good dude
Great. I always loved Warren. a humble giant if you wish.
Warren is a legend, it's cool to see his guitars and amps.
Can't wait to see them again......Dec. 29th 2023.....The Met....Philly....
Warren is just too cool for school!
Cool story- I was delivering a part to a repair shop several years ago; as I passed a long haired gent that just oozed aura; I literally stopped; turned around and said; “man you look really familiar?” He goes “oh yeah”; I say; “yeah- you look just like Warren Haynes”…he laughs and says; “yeah I get that a lot”…So I go; “Are you Warren Haynes?!?” He smiled and said “Yes Sir” :)) it was just the two of us; so I was able to calmly speak to him about all the ABB and Govt Mule shows I had seen. We spoke about Butch Trucks; who had just passed…He had a Tesla Car :) Total gentleman. We played Soulshine at my Brother’s Funeral- Warrens just a blessing to the World. Carry On Sir. True Legend ❤
One of my all time favorite guitar players. God bless and keep you Warren.
Stoked to see them this summer with Dark Side of the Mule!
Wow!!!! What a experience!!!!. great comment
Lots of love for Warren!!
Man, the Allman Brothers family has some eerie dates in their lore. Warren mentioned the much loved Brian Farmer. Brian passed Aug 24 2014 and Allen Woody passed Aug 26 2000. Duane Allman passed Oct 29 1971 and one year and 2 weeks later and 3 blocks away from Duane's accident, Berry Oakley passed. Sorry to point out somber moments, but they were all important, loved and should be remembered
Just re-watched Can't You See live, just the other day! Great post Premier Guitar!!
the late night set Mule played at Bonnaroo in 2008 is one of the best sets of music ever played by any band ever. I mean they did No Quarter and Since I've Been Lovin you WITH John Paul Jones. Sugaree with Bob Dylan. some blues with Luther Dickinson. etc. etc.
That Bonnaroo was legendary!
Haven’t played slide in awhile.. you’ll have to excuse me (butterysweetgrimey tones begin to fill the air)… his playing forces your face/body into that down n dirty vibe and sends shivers thru your spine..
Anytime Warren is talking gear, I'm all ears! Could watch and listen for hours.
Warren is THE MAN, ...Awesome player, singer & writer!
Love that he played so we ended as lovers
That's amazing. One of my favourite guitarrists...
First saw him when I was 10 in 2000 with Phil Lesh and friends.. him and jimmy herring together is absolute magic, they know so well how to complement each other
Great RR! Thank you, John, you have done an awesome job throughout the years, and I always look forward to these.
Saw the Allmans in 91 at the Philadelphia Spectrum,Little Feat opened up. Seen them 22 times after. Warren has the best roadhouse southern dixie fried tone
Man, what a great rundown.
We just saw them on this current tour and as usual, Warren and the band killed it. I've seen them about a dozen times or so over the years and it seems that every time they seem better than ever.
Saw Warren when he first joined the Bros and many years later. He's aged like fine fucking wine. Jeffs smiling.
He's so Lovable! God bless him 🙏
Just saw Govt mule on 6/10/23 at the mountain winery in Saratoga Ca. The whole band was on point that night. Ida mae opened
Awesome - big fan of Warren's playing for a long time. He gets a crazy amount of tones by just plugging straight into the amp.....its all in the hands!
Looking and sounding great Warren!
Tanx for taking the time to share the quiver with us!
The Custom Shop Firebird 3 P-90’s is killer.
A master craftsman, and his favorite tools! One of the all-time greats!
I was lucky enough to see Gov't Mule right before the sad passing of Allen. That was my favorite line up. 3 piece balls to the wall!
What a wonderful review and great chat with Warren. He is by far the best blues, guitarist I’ve ever heard, and I’ve been playing the blues myself for over 30 years. Love your style I love the way he moves between notes with that small accent note on the backend of most riffs.
