Guitars and Gear Vol. 29 - Tommy Castro Interview

Guitar Player interview:
“I rarely have time to practice at home, but when I’m on tour, I plug my guitar directly into my laptop,” he explains. “GarageBand has all the classic guitar sounds built in, so I can dial in some tones, listen to a few songs, and steal licks from horn players and other guitarists. My private laptop sessions are also valuable for getting myself comfortable with any new tunes we’re performing live. I just have the studio engineer burn rhythm tracks of the songs, and then I transfer them to GarageBand, and play over them until I feel more confident about soloing onstage.”
