For the 2nd time (see this episode for the 1st interview), I had the pleasure to interview Popa Chubby as he was in paris to promote his latest album Back To New York City. After the interview we did a video recording of the song Pound Of Flesh you will see in next week episode.
Meeting and interviewing Popa is always some kind of adventure, this time we were supposed to to the interview in a radio studio but during the show he broke two strings so we had to go back to the hotel to get some new strings.

Hedras Ramos interview - For the first time ever, a guitar player from Central America on show, please meet Hedras Ramos from Guatemala! This musician is only 19 but is showing a musical maturity way beyond his age. His latest album (no, it is not his first CD, it's the third one!) "Atoms And Space" is a great CD I took a lot of pleasure to discover.

For the second time I had the great pleasure to interview the very tall Paul Gilbert while he was in Paris finishing his 40 date solo tour to promote his own album "Fuzz Universe".
Last time I met the guy was last year when he was touring with MrBig, the interview is on episode #26.
During the interview I asked questions on "Fuzz Universe" but also on "What If..." the next MrBig record which will be released in Europe early 2011.
Great shot of Paul by Nidhal Marzouk (www.yog-photography.com) during the Trabendo show in Paris on December 19th:

On a glorious 2011 january morning, here it was, the parcel coming from Florida with the precious Rittenhouse Telecaster inside!
First impressions:
The guitar is very light, I need to weight it precisely but I am pretty sure it is the lightest guitar I have
The relicing job is very well done. It looks and feels old.
Well, it seems that my Rittenhouse (rittenhouseguitars.com) Telecaster is finished!
Popa Chubby is a New-York born guitar player which is pretty famous in France, I had the pleasure to interview him just before he played the Cabaret Sauvage in Paris.
As usual, before the intervie you will hear some extracts from his latest album "The Fight Is On":
The Fight Is On
We Got Some Rocking To Do

Happy listening,
Pierre.

I had the pleasure this quiet but VERY intense bluesman, believe me, he has a DEEP voice and it is quite a feat to interview such a nice gentleman with such an articulate way to express himself.
His album "Booker's Guitar" is a pure joy and if Eric plays near you, go check him out!

I am sure you heard at least once the hit "Do You Kiss On The First Date?", the song is great, the guitars are juicy and the opening riff is massive! Well, this gem comes from the Toronto based trio called Danko Jones.

All this story began with a post on Muzicosphere about a giveaway for a Rittenhouse guitar...
Then one morning, on December 24th 2009, barely awake as I was checking my iPhone I see this Boxcar popup with this tweet:
I had WON!!! I checked, double-checked, triple-checked but it was for real I had won a free guitar. On Christmas Eve, how cool is that, he??! 🙂
As The Guitar Channel is about...
Another guitar super-star on The Guitar Channel with none other than Bruce Kulick himself!!

As a follow-up to this episode (where you can listen to a Steve Vai interview) I did a Skype interview with his guitar player for the last 10 years, Dave Weiner.
The 35 minutes plus conversation was recorded through Skype so please excuse the couple of drop-outs you will hear here and there.
Thanks a ton to Dave who took the time to answer all my questions.
Watch out on his website for his up-coming solo album very soon...
