Summary

PHILIP SAYCE plugs in! The soulful master of the Stratocaster invites us into his home where he cranks up one of his favorite Fender rigs and shares how he developed his fiery, fret-melting brand of blues rock, as well as how he created the songs on his latest album, SPIRIT RISING. Plus, the Welsh-born, Canadian-bred guitar hero shares what he learned being bandmates with such greats as MELISSA ETHERIDGE and the late JEFF HEALEY. Sayce also offers some deep gear talk, diving into everything from ’60s wah pedals and Fuzz Faces to his friendship with legendary amp tech César Díaz. Hosted by JUDE GOLD and PRESENTED BY GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE.
