4. Can you read music, Can you read tab?

7.What about pickups? Passive or active ? Tell us about them
Active – EMG’s an 81 & 85. In all my guitars. I love them

I’ve had the same Ampeg VH-140C since the early 90s, with marshal cabs, celeston speakers
9.Do you have a pedal board? Tell us about that badboy
My board is very simple. Tuner, noise gate, wah, and delay. Less stuff means less problems. I get my sound from the amp.
10..Now tell us your Dream Rig in detail…..
Just a wall of Ampeg VH-140Cs
11.What guitarist can you not stand?
I can’t really think of one
I12. Is tone more important or is technique?
Technique is everything. What good is a great tone if you can’t play. I always thought that Blackmore’s lead tone sucks but his playing, technique, choice of notes is amazing.
13. Name your top 5 guitarist
Malmsteen
Rhoads
Blackmore
Vandenberg
Skolnik
14.Who is the most overrated guitarist
Pete Townshend, a great songwriter, but I’m just not into his playing
15.Who would you like a one hour private sit down lessons with anyone dead or alive?
I’ve seen youtube video of some of the most talented players out there so there is not a lot to ask but Blackmore is pretty reclusive, so probably talking him about those Egyptian sounding scales
