I don't mean this to be overly critical but I think playing with a pick would add a bit more high end attack to the sound. I don't think a finger player is necessarily the best representation for any amplifier. For the record, I am a huge fan of Jeff Beck, Richie Kotzen and Lance Keltner so I don't have a problem with people who don't use a pick. The tone just isn't the same.
Hey Andy - I use a metal pinky slide too. I've used the same one for 30 yrs - never lost it. It's a little shorter than a normal slide so I can fret (very limited - but it works) with my pinky if I need to. I started with the Duane Allman Coricidin bottle which I actually loved the sound of - but too limiting in a cover band. Have also tried those gimmick slide rings you can turn over - but keep going back to the tried and true metal slide on pinky.
Awesome demo! Andy which do you prefer - 65 amps Empire or 3 Monkeys Virgil? Do they both fuzz pedals in front well? Seems like the monkey has an "earthier" tone!
I always wonder how hard it must be for Andy and the other PGS players to stay with one rig when they're surrounded by all these awesome pieces of gear
the best overdrive tones usually come from the amp itself! if its an amp like this that is ahaha

Does Andy uses a pick or not or he somehow hide it between his finger? Looks like no pick but sounds like awesome picking attacks there.. marvellous
