In strict terms - "advancing the art of the electric blues guitar" - Johnny A does this. As no one has since Stevie Ray Vaughn. The advancement came fast and furious thrru the 60's but has slowed. Where do you go with this format? The blues greats did their thing and the british greats and Stevie..... And now, Johnny A. Too bad it took me so long to catch up to him, but this my friends, is something special.
@jahovahut Yes, thank the "Capitalist assbags" as you so stupidly and immaturely put it, for every damn thing in your worthless life that makes it worth continuing to breath. Tell you what, please place all trappings, cash, possessions and all other material possessions in the GoodWill bin and go on about your silly life naked and homeless. Fool.
The last two times I saw JA, he was play through a G-System with Butler Tube Drivers (3: one for each distortion level), and Marshall JMP-1, which setting was never chained: just used in the loop as a clean preamp. Then through the PA and stage monitors.
There's a "red hair" in the yonder babe. WAY too short, Johnny could riff this out for hours, it's awesome. Way more "throat" on that guitar than on his body. When he points her down, I'm sure he could divine up some well water.........natchul born man....hoo hooo yeeeeaaaahhh...he keeps me "satified"

Brilliant! This cat can really play! Beautiful piece and a beautiful guitar. Played one today at True Tone in Santa Monica. Pricey, but worth it.

Actually, Hes playing through Marshall preamps going though the mains with the monitors cranked cause he has no stage volume. Trust me!
