Welcome to my first interview video!  After being inspired by some of the top names in podcasting and on YouTube, I've decided to seek out people who inspire me and interview them.  The first guest on my list is Robert Baker (http://www.youtube.com/rguitar). 

In Pt. 1 of this 2-part interview, I'll talk with Robert about some general questions regarding guitar.  In Pt. 2 we'll discuss the business/entrepreneurial side of guitar as I ask Robert some "guitarpreneur" questions.

I first discovered Robert about a year ago and first mentioned him on my first vlog about changing the direction of how I was going to run my YouTube channel.  You can see that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv8cgWovXrM

Since then, I've been watching as many videos of his as I can and have found his solid picking, blazing fast phrasing, and creative original compositions to be a breath of fresh air for my own playing.

I highly recommend you especially check out his series on "The Secret of Shred Guitar," a 3-part video series that will have your jaw dropping and your mind thinking "Why didn't I think of that?"  See this series beginning with Pt. 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiQybxgx270

So without further ado, here are the questions covered in this interview...

Guitar Questions
- How long have you been playing?
- What was your first influence on guitar?
- Who is your favorite guitar player?
- What sort of practice regimen do you have?
- If you could have your very own signature guitar what would be the specs?
- What are some of the guitars you own?
- Are there any guitars you're thinking of purchasing soon?
- What picks, strings, accessories do you recommend?
- What's been the best way you've gotten sponsors/endorsements (Positive Grid, Carl Martin, etc.)? Any upcoming endorsements that you can discuss?
- How do you come up with so many ideas for licks, songs, etc.?
- How do you capture ideas (Audio recordings, apps, video)?

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.  Here's hoping you learn something new that will help you along your journey.
