Continuing our gear chat, here I am with a Herzog unit. This was a two 12AX7 tube preamp invented by myself and Gar Gillies who built Garnet Amps in Winnipeg. This preamp with my ‘59 Les Paul into a Garnet Amp was the sound of American Woman. The result was called the “woman tone”.

#AskRandy You asked, we answered! The Garnet Herzog amp, how it created the legendary sound of The Guess Who songs "No Time" & "American Woman". My daughter Lorelei & son Briggs are on board for this post. Cheers! #roocknroll #gear amps guitarist @theguesswho

#RIP to Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead, who has left us for music heaven today.⚡️
In the mid-late 60's, I was in New York and went to a club in Greenwich village and saw The Dead play. They were new-ish and they were a jam band. When they'd go into a song, it wasn't the standard 3.5 minute radio tune

RIP Chris Rea who left us today. I’ve been a fan for decades. “Fool” is one of my favorite songs. I’ve seen him in concert many times. His voice is what l copied when I started my solo recordings. I bought his boxed set of vinyl celebrating and exploring the different blues genres.

#AskRandy One of the most common questions I get asked as a #guitarist is "What should be my first #guitar?" The answer is what feels right. Go into a music store and try as many as you can. It's not 'one size fits all'.

Please take a moment to remember those who have fought to keep us free. Too often in travel, I see vets who are struggling for the things they need after defending their country. Without them, our lives would be very different.

#AskRandy I've been asked about the glove I sometimes wear; is it for style or a hand issue? The glove is a Tommie Copper compression which eases pain and helps mobility. I've noticed a big difference in the cold when I'm playing outdoor shows. I have a bit of an issue with my thumb -
