He asked if he could see my guitar and then told me I should play it slower and in the lower register using barre chords.

I was playing Sunshine of Your Love up high on my Les Paul. “He was really tall – I did not expect that, but he is huge! I also met Billy Gibbons there, too. He was in the same one as me for a while, so I got to say hi. There were only a few dressing rooms backstage, so they kinda piled all of the artists in them. I met him very briefly at a Gibson event at one of the NAMM shows. “Slash is another big hero of mine – he’s like the staple! Whenever I think of a guitar player holding a Les Paul, I think of Slash. I wasn’t actually in the studio with him when he did it, but we sent the track over and he sent his parts right back. He’s a big hero of mine and I actually have a new album coming out called Real Gone where he guested on one of the tracks, Broken and Blue. I’m grateful to now call him my friend – he’s been very supportive of me and my music, and our entire blues community as a whole. “When it comes to Les Paul influences, Joe Bonamassa is a big inspiration to me. I ran into the owner at a guitar festival because he’d supplied the backline and was blown away. Then I go into a boutique amp made by Category 5 who are based in Dallas. I pair my Les Paul with an Analog Man King of Tone, so I always know I’m in good hands with those two. “For modern blues that has a bite to it, and even heavier rock, that’s what I tend to go for. It’s my favourite sound because it always cuts through so well and the midrange sustain is always immaculate. I actually tend to leave my guitar on the bridge pickup all the time. “But they’re not just one-trick ponies – if you experiment with the controls, you can get a lot of different tones out of them, even funky ones if you’re in the middle position. They definitely seem to inspire heavier riffs and more guitar-based songwriting, at least for me.

It’s a very unique feel compared to all the other guitars. I love how it feels in my hands, it’s almost like I can do anything. “I tend to play more aggressively on a Les Paul, but it still sounds expressive. I’m gonna keep playing it until it’s completely destroyed. I know people always say once the neck has been broken they don’t want to play that Les Paul anymore, but I love mine. “The neck has been broken three different times – it’s never come clean off, thank god – but it’s needed a lot of repairs over the years. I call that guitar my ‘Wounded Warrior’ because I’ve dropped it so many times. “I know some people find Les Pauls quite heavy, but mine is pretty light – I’d say around eight or so pounds, which means I can tour with it easily, especially when using a thicker strap.
