Pete’s here to talk tone, guitars, amps & life as a musician

Welcome to the show! It is our great pleasure to welcome our good friend Pete Thorn to the show. Canadian ex-pat / longtime Los Angeles resident Pete is a professional guitar player having toured with artists including Melissa Etheridge, Don Henley and Chris Cornell. He also has a fantastic YouTube channel where he gets busy with some of the best gear demos you’ll find anywhere.
Pete was on tour in the UK with The Classic Rock Show during February and March 2023, so we were able to steal him for an afternoon to chew the fat over his current rig, Suhr signature guitar and plenty more besides…
Enjoy the show!
