Summary of my the 2015 Winter NAMM

Here is the summary of the first Winter NAMM show covered for The Guitar Channel.

I have not been disappointed with this trip to Anaheim: plenty of cool meetings, 20 interviews (see below), photos by the hundred (to be found on the private community), and a good dose of decibels every day!

Here's the list of the 20 interviews done during this 2015 Winter NAMM.
