Please do an update in 2021

What a nice dude. Also love how he actually played a bit to show what he was talking about

James really had a game plan for his Rig Rundown #thumbsup

John, you are one of the best interviewers I've ever seen. Great job covering everything man!

I had to come back and watch this one again. I normally play country-rock. His rig would be great for me. LOL. And he seems like the nicest guy.

TheZooropaBaby I see! That makes sense. Actually I'm sure the band will continue to evolve and change and they may well go back to stronger rock in future. I don't think a band can actually rationally fully control their musical direction, I know singers often have it controlled by management or set it artificially, but I think a band is a different matter, I see it like a living organism. And this sound (I am very impressed by) is a clear indication of that rock element remaining strong, it's just a matter of the rest of the organism focusing on that element (or not...). But in terms of thinking about music outside genre confines, I think Maroon 5 are still on the top shelf in terms of quality with not many bands on that shelf to keep them company, especially in their age group. ;)

Having the imagination first and the ability second to program/use such a complicated rig is in many ways a right of passage. Also, it's all about growth and raising your personal equipment/sound/playing standards as a player. If anyone in the audience hears the diff in sound or is impressed by the gear, it's just a bonus. Good for him, he's certainly evolving as a guitar player! I wish more players would follow in his footsteps. Too many musicians today are caught up in bringing the least amount of gear, putting in the least amount of effort and getting paid the most amount of money and the music/playing reflects it. Seeing this amount of effort and care put into his craft is refreshing!
