Doug Pettibone Lined up to Tour with John Mayer

Posted on March 21, 2012 by tastychops

Say what you like about John Mayer but the man has impeccable taste in sidemen. News from the Mayer camp itself was that tastychops favourite Trussart slinger, Doug Pettibone, was to be joining the mouth-y one for his (just cancelled) Spring dates. Pettibone is such a great, edgy player and his playing is stylistically quite a shift away from the sweet, on-the money vibe of Mayer’s previous wingman, Robbie Macintosh.

Pettibone’s previous work with Lucinda Williams is awe inspiring and with the more rootsy, southern vibe of the new Mayer record it could be a great fit. Lets hope JM gets his throat sorted and the show can get back on the road.

Have you checked out the lead single ‘Shadow Days’ from ‘Born and Raised’? Thoughts?

And for a reminder of Pettibone’s greatness check this recent post.

Doug Pettibone on James Trussart

Posted on February 5, 2012 by tastychops

Doug Pettibone is my kinda guy … he loves Trussarts, he’s played with Lucinda Williams and Ray LaMontagne (two of my fav singers and writers) and he has oodles of vibe. In a neat, little interview with Guitar International he bangs the “what’s so great about Trussart anyway?” nail on the head:

“I’m using a lot of James Trussart guitars. I really love them. What attracted me first was the visual – he is an artist. His guitars are beautifully crafted, original and they are metal, as you know. They are hollow, and I really like hollow electric guitars. The just have the overtones and sustain that I love. You get more out of them, I think. They just come alive when you plug them in. You’re not sure what they’re gonna do all the time but it’s usually pretty cool!”

And here is Doug with Lucinda and his James Trussart Steel Devillie:

Limited Edition Trussart Cry Baby Wah

Posted on February 5, 2012 by tastychops

This ad for a paisley engraved Trussart wah appeared in Guitar Aficianado recently. No further word from Dunlop or Trussart at this stage but from the ad we can see that its a limited edition … it will be available this year … and it looks funky as hell! The fact that the only mention of it has been in Guitar Aficianado (between the Rolex and Single Malt ads) suggests that its going to cost a small fortune.

Plucked from My Les Paul forum.

EVVY “You Think You Know Me” Rehearsal

Posted on July 23, 2010 by tastychops

Following a little buzz and nice vibes around EVVY yesterday (thanks to I Heart Guitar and Fender Custom Shop) here is another clip from the same rehearsal. We’re just feeling out this track You Think You Know Me. Sorry I’m facing the wrong way – I forgot about the camera. The fuzz is layed on courtesy of my Dice Works Muff Diver. The guitar is my Trussart Steelcaster Deluxe. The amp is a Budda Superdrive II 18.
