Then we went to his garage and there were stacks of flight cases and he showed me three of his pedalboards. From grab-and-go to larger, more sophisticated boards, he had whatever he needed to cover any gig. Here are some pictures I took. CLICK ON ANY PICTURE TO ENLARGE

As I winded my way through the mountains, I thought about all the musicians that had lived in the area since the 1960′s. Now I was going to interview a modern musician who had decided to move into the area some years ago.

I passed country stores and ranches, hovels and estates and then I got to Carl Verheyen’s lovely house where he ushered me in to his home studio and I set up to do the interview. He had two blackface Princeton Reverbs, shelves of effects pedals, and a beautiful original 1958 Stratocaster that he bought on the recommendation of pickup czar Seymour Duncan.

Carl proceeded to noodle in a way that would have silenced all those kids playing high-gain metal riffs at your local Guitar Center. His tone was pure, clean and magical and was only enhanced by a T-Rex Replica delay. Though he had just returned from a six-week tour of Europe with his own band days ago, he had been busy working on the soundtrack to a Will Ferrell flick.

Thankfully, he took time from his busy schedule to do this interview. There was so much great stuff there I decided to break it into two parts. I also made filmed him playing Goodbye Pork Pie Hat by Charlie Mingus. What a treat. Be sure you register for www.GuitarBandDVD.org and get his video lesson and 10 Minute Blues Bootcamp. His lesson should keep you busy for some time. It is brief, but packed with useful tips.
