I've watched Dave online many times and have seen REO several times. Dave seems like a great person, and I love how much he enjoys everything about guitars. Dave has played those REO songs probably a thousand times, but every time he seems like he's having a blast. Keep up the good work Dave!

I am almost 60 years old. This is a really nice visit with a really awesome professional. Thank you for letting us come into you office and see how you work. Really nice to see all your life collection of guitars and to just visit with you. Thank you for taking time to just share what this part of your life and work is about. I enjoyed the visit. This is a a nice way to see how it gets done by a pro. For Some of us dreamers this is our only way to see the way it is done. James in Dallas, Texas.

That JCM800 amp, Dave Amato has in his rig, is the 100-watt Marshall model of the 2205 (which is the 50-watt amp that Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave uses). And he hasn't changed his tone on the amp since!

Eric Clapton does his show with only 2 electric guitars. A main one and a back up. 11 guitars for 14 songs is a non sens. And today's guitarists would play better live if they were using a main guitar for almost the full show, because they would feel very confortable with it. This is how it used to be. Hendrix didn't change his guitar for every songs, he used one for the show. The same for Jimmy page, Jeff Beck, and many others.
