From the majestic to the bucolic, Hines leaves it all in the ring with epic tunes and sophisticated arrangements that grip the soul, the heart, and the mind. While songs like “Fearless” showcase his writing, use of wah, and superb legato phrasing, other compositions like “Tempest In A Teapot,” “Slither,” and the whimsical “Webster’s Lake” display the most vocal-like slide guitar chops this side of Sonny Landreth.

It’s no mystery who VG reader Peter Cornett worships as his #1 guitar god. He calls three Hendrix-tribute Strats his "Axis"; Woody has the signature reverse headstock, Monty is a Monterey model (of course), and sitting atop his Marshall ORI50 is the Sticker Strat. His sounds are dressed up with help from a Vox wah, DigiTech Hendrix Experience pedal, Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face, and a Dunlop JH-4S Rotovibe.
