In the movie Down & DIrty, the Johnny Winter documentary… you see that Paul basically got Johnny off of methadone and helped get him clean. He discussed this, as well as a couple of hilarious stories about Johnny, having to do with John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) and James Montgomery. Plus, Johnny Winter’s amp tone settings…
Pau’s new album “Badass Generation” is amazing and he shares the backstory of the songs with us…
Paul pulls back the curtain and reveals a LOT of great information for how he structures his songs and the right way to learn solos of other artists. And what you should be looking for, beyond simply “learning the notes” in these solos. If you play guitar, this is like getting a free advanced guitar lesson from one of the masters of the instrument…
Loads of cool stories about Leslie West, Dickey Betts, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Kim Simmonds, and much more…
