You have been voted Total Guitar readers’ favourite guitarist of 2021. How does that feel?

Wow! That’s very sweet. I’m grateful for the amount of support that was provided. I’m grateful to have been nominated for something like this.

Greta Van Fleet’s second album, The Battle At Garden’s Gate, saw you expanding your sound. What songs on the album are you most proud of?

Well, all of them to be honest! But there are certain ones that stand out because of the guitar, like , where there’s a linear or progressive solo at the end of the song that spans maybe four or five minutes. I think it’s an achievement for guitar playing in the contemporary world because there aren’t really records where you can put a five minute guitar solo in there. is really cool too
