Simple man I see dance Gavin dance I click.

[@remyvilleneuve4879]

When Gavin dances, I dance too

[@andrewdriscoll1016]

Im amazed by how relatively unknown Will Swan is. Him and GDG have been putting out pure gold for years!

[@zerohourdrift]

Ah yes, his lesser known project, Gavin dance Gavin 😂

[@NuggetVRshorts]

Will Swan is modern guitar and songwriting genius who never gets enough credit.

[@Jokerman518]

I love how down to earth and low key he is. He loves playing music and gets play what he loves and how he wants to. No crazy theories or philosophy.

[@flooploops411]

Bro secret dissed Steve Vai😂

[@Jord1791]

His tone literally sounds the same as the recording. So inspiring

[@jbasti227]

The fact that this man can casually bust out the Chucky lick mid-convo like it's Smoke On The Water is still baffling to me. One of the best players ever without a doubt.

[@EC_Tavo]

13:08

[@Seal_pup]

13:21 is when it actually starts :P

[@natem5201]

and due to that, this man is dubbed a god

[@duffy5079]

​@@EC_Tavothanks

[@jackpage2588]

It’s mainly a bunch of pull-offs on an open string which isn’t really hard.

[@ssipssip]

Love how at 13:20 he's so casual and then just whips that riff out. No warm up or nothing, he can deliver at the drop of a hat

[@Madchris8828]

Sign of a badass guitarist for sure. Just found this band, and love them a lot. Super fun and wild

[@Reneismad]

Well when playing that is your income yeah

[@Hummingbyrd99]

And he’s even got the Gucci slides 😂 So cool

[@cuscoothriyas5163]

This guy's such a god he has an entire genre named after him

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

Will gave me a marijuana pipe once at a house party/ show. DGD van broke down, my friend caitlin let them stay at her house in highland CA. He Was a cool guy, very chill and down to earth.

[@xthexadvantagex]

This doesn’t surprise me

[@RobertLiamWhyte]

I have a few stories similar about DGD guys and Kurt Travis when they visited Scotland, most sound guys you'll ever meet.

[@cloudycoverz8548]

Sounds cool asf😭

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

@@cloudycoverz8548 it was cool, drank bottle of jim beam with DGD. But johnny Craig was a piece of shit. He peed on a drunk racist guy that passed out. "He says to me hey wanna pee on that guy,?" I REPLY "NO ITS COOL"

[@cheefukeefu]

@@TRAVIESO_NA Peeing on a racist person is actually very cool, but Jonny Craig is a horribly awful person otherwise

[@SethSilvaMusic]

Will has been one of my favorite guitarists for a long time. Love DGD and all of his other projects. Thanks for doing an updated Rig Rundown, guys! Very informative and cool as always.

[@premierguitar]

Our pleasure!

[@happyliver462]

Wow super underrated guitar player.

[@terraamigoes1617]

One of the most innovative and underrated guitarists today.

[@kriskenard]

Will Swan's music changed my life forever

[@hospuk1714]

same, it changed my life for the better

[@EvenTheTrees]

Incredibly excited to watch this! Been looking forward to a proper Rig Rundown with him for a LOOOONG time. I know Will usually buys like 4-6 new pedals every album cycle to invent new sounds/tones so I'm curious what makes the cut for a touring pedalboard!

[@premierguitar]

Rock on!

[@falsafah2moslem]

Pls watching under link "Sweet child o'mine" guns n' roses by alip ba ta fingerstyle player guitar kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqmlaZihaLxlobc Real amazing skills player bro

[@mikesharp3248]

This is how you do an interview. Will seems like such a cool guy too. Love his playing thanks for the vid!

[@premierguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kevenbarrera2552]

Son of Robot when I first heard it, I was like, "wow that keyboard is sick". When I found out it wasn't a keyboard I was even more amazed. Shout to Will Swan for always making sick sounds

[@thesebasproject4058]

Finally a real rig rundown for DGD, not like that other video where the dude is just asking stupid questions

[@louistech112]

What an amazing interviewer Will seemed happy to do this . Super great and insightful. You def need to do way more interviews .

[@premierguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MatzaFTW]

Easily one of my fav rundowns, Will's a special player.

[@its-the-FNG]

When he got to the part where he’s says that he is self taught and doesn’t understand music theory makes me appreciate Will that much more. That’s exactly how I am and how I write music. What’s weird and strange is that I had a very similar conversation today showing someone my new demos. Guess I’m just gonna not question things and stick to the songs I’ve got working. Thanks for the added inspiration Will

[@kevinandrewsphoto]

Will is one of the most influential modern guitarists of our generation. I don’t know a guitarist personally who hasn’t stolen something from him

[@petertaydus6330]

Such a big dude asking if it's okay that he cusses had me on the floor. So glad to be getting back into DGD.

[@torch7325]

FINALLY A WILL RIG RUNDOWN!

[@PaulisMediocre]

Chris Kies really is the best rundowner of rigs, always gets the best out of the artist

[@tyhodges1206]

Wow, I was looking for exactly this, and the vid is barely a day old. Will definitely be checking out this channel more.

[@premierguitar]

Welcome aboard!

[@davecarcel]

That raspberry jam Kiesel is so beautiful

[@benallmark9671]

What’s it worth give or take?

[@nutprick]

This dude is the best interviewer on the premier guitar team. Does his research on the artist and it shows

[@nickp440]

Not a huge DGD fan but this dude has always blown my mind. Awesome rundown

[@oldindianchief9403]

Thanks for showing us all your really cool beep boop and laser sounds Will.

[@Tht1guy63]

will imo has some of the best sounds in the industry. he has a ton of flavor and groove

[@mohnjark3739]

Will Swan is a riffmaster too, he’s so underrated.

[@ryken_]

I fuggin love Will so much

[@lunacorn8012]

"Oh,can I cuss?" *friggin sweetheart dude....

[@TheMusicfan189]

This guy is an absolute monster player. DGD always slaps too.

[@richardlewis1243]

As an honest boomer I think I missed the boat on this dude but his attitude was awesome and I can totally get behind the “new stuff inspires me” mentality and not overthinking it

[@hunterdev212]

Lucky for you the boat is a ferry so it always comes back for new people :)

[@stevemorris7607]

Was really hoping for Tim and Andrew too but this is awesome, thank you for finally doing this!!!

[@ChrisVsTheGiantTortoise]

"I'm self-taught and really don't know any theory." Amazing.... And infuriating. 😂

[@bradsmithstudios8881]

I enjoy the all the rig rundowns, but it’s really special when the guitarists themselves do the rundown and they give demos of the sounds.

[@dinosoarskill17]

Will's always been one of my favorite guitarists. Glad to see this.

[@lucas_e_munoz]

I've waited for this for a hot minute!

[@TZWolf]

I’ve waited so long for this one

[@papabungle]

I saw them this September with Polyphia. Amazing show.

[@quantumxfluxmd6821]

I was supposed to see them with polyphia in October but covid restrictions

[@richieyerro5138]

Dudeeeeeeee this is one of my heroes right here!! Been learning your sht for years man , still getting your tone up to this point and, I'm glad that I saw this vid..

[@adrinzzz1]

Been waiting for this rig rundown!

[@PerfectCell9]

I love this guitarist and this band .. so happy I recently found them they’ve legit made my life better lol

[@leoarnold1008]

YES finally a proper rundown for the GOAT! Awesome- Will Swan is such an inspiration.

[@Mega_trav]

My favorite guitarist

[@kevinneace9008]

So cool! At some point you guys should swing out and do a rundown for The Midnight! With the amount of instrument-switching and the awesome gear each member has, it seems like it would make for a great video!

[@HarptoHeart69]

It's nice to see someone actually appreciate the guitar and not use a thousand different pedals. What a great interview, Will Swan, is such a underrated guitarist! Also, nice to see a guitarist, that appreciates what he has. 🙌🤘

[@kayelaine]

Those pickups sound amazing!! Also love that will is filming this in his slides lmao

[@AlexandreRochonBelec]

Great content!! Love DGD and Will is a genius!! Absolutely love all his riffs!

[@backburnernoise]

So great to hear him actually play the parts in conjunction with the pedals he’s talking about.

[@gecamposneto]

doesnt know music theory and write stuff like that... shows how creative this man really is. self taught and such a beast, really inspiring. 17:10

[@dominicdunn2579]

I think he really has sit down with the guitar so much that he just knows where to place his hands fret wise and it just happens now.

[@kylesmith7113]

18:30 "How would you describe that sound to someone?" Two words: Icky Thump

just casually plays "death of a strawberry" like it's no big deal. 13:41

[@carminegraves]

ive been following this guys music since the early 2000s. about time he gets some recognition

[@bm7291]

Needs more recognition if you ask me

[@workyoutubenope4236]

Well, I guess I have to get a Kiesel now.

[@erzablanc8935]

It's obvious when the interviewer is trying to drive the conversation in a certain direction as opposed to just letting it happen organically.

[@TheNightdiver]

will is such an inspiritation to al of us

[@Radical_edweird]

Love how Will is rocking them Gucci slides.

[@ddravynn]

13:42 bro i was hoping he'd show that one now im screaming like a fangirl

[@Mitzdownfvll]

what a legend.. so glad im alive

My dude with the damn Friedman amps! You've definitely got great taste.

[@dominicdunn2579]

Friedmans really are special. I've seen folk rock bands/ pop bands and Will Swan play them and they always sound so crisp but have that vintage feel.

The slides!!!

[@jurdski]

Damn Kiesel is just blowing up, at this rate I don't know if anyone is going to play a Gibson or Fender again. Maybe I need to jump on the bandwagon.

[@expendedelectricity]

Love Will’s playing and tone. And I’m assuming when he’s talking about the “transistors” in the Rockerverb, he actually means the transformers.

[@SolidHound871]

The Tom Morelo's of my youth

[@alleycat6106]

He in those Gucci slides. That's lit

Will Swan its the best musician of this time after Slash from Guns & Roses.
