NAMM 2016 Day 1: go! The great annual show of the industry of music instruments and peripheral industries (sound system, wiring, interface, etc.) opened for its winter edition at the Anaheim Convention Center. Indeed the US NAMM comes in two flavors: the Winter NAMM who is held in Los Angeles and the Summer NAMM held in Nashville.

The NAMM is as big as last year, no big change on that part. Some booths are bigger from one year to the other and the opposite for others. It sure does not feel like there is any crisis on this side of the pond. It's only the second time The Guitar Channel is covering this show but still I like it more and more. Lots of cool interviews coming up!

Interviews of the day

• Andy Powers - Master Builder at Taylor Guitars
• Don Alder - Canadien guitar player already interviewed once
• Zane Carney - A regular guest on The Guitar Channel
