The Captain Meets Justin Derrico! (P!nk, The Voice)

[@wesroberts1983]

The most underrated guitar player of his generation.

[@mylespetruskavich1553]

If I’ve learned one thing in this world, it’s that the guitarists for big pop acts are pretty much always world-class musicians and shredders, and Justin is no different

[@StreetPreacherr]

Hell, Pete played for TOM JONES! And the late great Taylor Hawkins was playing drum for ALANI MORISETTE before leaving for the Foo Fighters! If you're a 'pro' you should be able to kick ass in ANY style, and POP PAYSW! ;)

[@evalex71]

Absolutely a monster player and a humble and nice guy

[@MRBUN75]

I had the exact same experience as Lee. Dragged to a gig by my future wife,,, then spent the whole night with my jaw on the floor. Amazing guitarist!!!

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

The dude is super cool, what a killer session instrumentalist, does it all. It really warmed my heart when Lee offered to gift him an Odin. What a legend.

[@gilaubin929]

Justin is the man! He is one of my favourite guitar players. Always amazes me how he can keep up to committing to the Voice and touring with Pink. He has the greatest jobs on the planet. Such a genuine guy. Great interview!!!

[@rimmysinclair]

Clicked as soon as I saw this! Justin is a certified badass

[@allstarvb]

Justin is a beast of a musician - awesome that you were able to get him

[@spodey8484]

I was lucky enough to be able to arrange a couple of Skype lessons with Justin back in 2020. Such a nice and accommodating guy - took me through some of the licks I particularly loved from some of the live P!nk performances, and was kind enough to put a couple of intervalic licks together that I was loving. The whole thing blew my mind and made me realise how little I could do and how little I knew. So it made me buckle down and I'm 18 months into weekly lessons with a mega teacher here in the UK. And oh yeah the Boss OD-3 came up as "the best pedal i the world!" - so I bought one the next day :D!! Wonderful player and nicest guy in the world.

[@djt6546]

Congrats it sounds like you’re on a roll! I am curious which teacher and location are you working with if you and they are happy to say in the comments? Cheers 🤘

[@Konan_HQ]

Thanks for sharing!

[@spodey8484]

@@djt6546 hey hiya, my tutor is Martin Goulding.

[@blazing6string]

Justin has been my favorite guitar player for 15 years or so. When ppl find that out they say who? It’s sacrilege

[@robraaiii]

He just can’t stop smiling and making bend faces while he plays. You know he’s doing what he loves. 🤘🏻

[@derekwoods8199]

Anyone who is curious and doesn’t watch The Voice, just check out one of the shows and think how many songs and arrangements Justin and the band have to dial in each week! They’re incredible musicians for many reasons

[@davidherdman5549]

I did exactly the same thing Captain !!! Inherited a ticket to Pink, wasn't super fussed...one of the best gigs I have ever been to ( during her record run in Sydney....just kept selling out show after show) ...went home and googled the guitarist because he was so awesome....been a huge fan ever since....such a versatile guitarist....maybe the most versatile guitarist out there.

[@rickcamargo7082]

Justin is beast. Can’t argue that.

[@davidbakerscuba]

I saw the Pink show last night here in Orlando. Justin totally kills it. I did the same thing as the Captain. I had to google who the guitar player was. Now I’m here.

[@andygazi]

This was one of my favorite interviews Captain. Thanks! From the first few seconds I was hooked by his playing!

[@yurita1984]

Love this guy. I remember i heard this great P!nk's album "not dead" and thought "what a great rock-pop songs" Than she came to Saint-Petersburg and I saw her band live and I fell in love even more ❤🎉

[@macabre2007]

I remember seeing P!nk in Chelmsford at the V 2004 show, she started the show playing drums, and the show was awesome, she definitely made friends with the rockers in the crowd, it was great.

[@glenh2752]

I remember that show well. It was also the year I broke my ankle leaving the venue 😆

[@macabre2007]

@@glenh2752 Sorry to hear that I know the feeling I sprained my ankle at work that was bad enough to keep me off work for a month.

[@LuisMorales-xr1gm]

I'm from Pink's neck of the woods of Pennsylvania and a huge Justin Derrico fan. He is in my top 5 favorite guitar players . The guy can play any genre . No one trick pony here people. He's just insanely talented. One of my dreams is to meet Pink and Justin. Look into Justin's music even before joining Pink. He was in a band called The Calling with Alex Band. He's one of the guys keeping this style of playing at the forefront of guitar playing,so Thanks for that Justin. Hope to meet you sometime. I've met and hung with most of my guitar heroes , so just a few bucket list ones left and you're one of them.

[@rogerhundley9490]

The Captain does the best interviews.

[@damasterkarej]

Agree. 'Pro-interviewers' and all hosts on Late Night Shows should take a lesson or two how to make a conversation.

[@jeffreyesguitar5129]

Got to see Pink at COTA here in Austin. That's where I first heard JD. She's amazing and only deserves the best of guitarists.

[@stanislavmigra]

Awesome Modeler vs Valve amp conversation. Perfectly summed up pros and cons of both, that no one can get offended about. And that dude just ripps. Gotta go see Pink oneday live.

[@andrewa2646]

This dude is sick. First saw him on Tim and Pete’s guitar show and Norman’s years ago

[@marce211275]

THE Boss OD-3 is a fantastic underrated overdrive pedal! I AM GLAD TO KNOW JUSTIN USE ONE FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS AND HE LOVES IT SO MUCH!

[@KateSkorski]

I’ve been chomping at the bit for this interview! So glad I woke up to see it uploaded on my first Sunday off in over month and I could just lay back and watch it!

[@simondixon6761]

Killer player! Really enjoyed this one!

[@andyreynolds5575]

Yess!! Fractal is the way to go. Our band sound has improved ten fold now we use the Axe FX.

[@Dawgley]

found out about him through The Voice USA. his guitar parts on all his performancr were spot on.

[@YeatzeeGuitar]

This was great! Justin shreds, cool to hear some of the behind the curtain stuff.

[@mendelrocksstudios]

Big ❤ for the CC Montrose!

[@tonkageorge]

What a great musician and general dude. Loved this.

[@charliepratt]

FINALLY THE OD-3 GETTING THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES. 💪🤘

[@strin6lord]

I love his playing, been him following for a long time, so cool you have ir here to make this interview, such a killer player with a great vibe! Listen to his album ''Boldly going nowhere'', awesome guitar playing.

[@Lolong01]

first saw him On play in The Caling... i didn't realize he was a beast Solo Guitar player

[@vinivola]

That was such a fantastic episode. I'm surprised that it doesn't have more views. Anyway, thank you captain, for great content.

[@TheStratfanatic]

Lee your interviewing skills are getting really good. Brought out the best. Epic Justin is a killer axe slinger...

[@MulaMusic67]

Embarrassed to admit this was a new name to me, but I'm now a big fan - great interview! Thanks guys. 😎

[@Stratsafact]

At that level it’s like what a batting, golf, tennis, coach does for a pro. A coach will analyze, suggest, answer questions etc

[@billdehey1300]

Wow, that Shabat sounds nice

[@sixtyaffairs]

47:30 where Captain finds out, there was a boost on. Without any effects the sound of the Guitar was just awesome. The more fuzzes and boosts came along, the worst the whole thing sounded. For me. I'm an old schooler and love the pure Sound of Guitar and Amp. . But Justin is of course a bad ass !

[@Matte23Pam]

At minute 47:30 Justin thinks to play with the only amp but It had a boost ON and The Captain tells him to turn off before switch ON the Fuzz, well I would like to know what model is this booster?

[@jmaripen]

Justin is an awesome guitar player! Thank you for this!

[@Koogle-o6g]

Cool I didn't know Justin was from Virginia I'm from Virginia to Appalachian mountains and guitar player I grew up around bluegrass and they can throw down I'm not a bluegrass player but I do love it a small world world

Excellent interview captain ! Just noticed that you guys actually have an Anderson's paddle

[@Dodgyguitarist]

Great interview 👏🏻

[@bobygap]

I hope the Instrumental record will be with Eric Steckel !

[@jips123]

I had s Shiva 1*12 combo. Sold it recently. Lovely sound, extremely heavy weight.

[@adiohead]

Not a fan of Pink but saw him playing live with her on TV and he sounded great through that Bogner.

[@HunterRouth]

I really wish Justin had a rock band where he wrote the material and shreds! That guy is just as good as any legend before him. Gibson needs to get him a sig again and make some vids. Too good not to be known more than he is!

[@SLASHMPI]

56:10 QC rocks

[@lapistola5]

What is exactly is Justin’s digital rig that he’s currently using?

[@thebackyardairgunner8776]

First time i heard of him i was looking up stuff on the bogner alchemist and found a video of him jamming on it. Was like man this dude can rip!!

[@Disco-Terry]

Seems like a really cool person.

[@DanWavey]

Always looking to learn but all I can find on line are people that play with 3 fingers on the fret board. 😢 Anyone know where I can see some good guitarist on line?

[@davidyoung8875]

That was Just Awesome. What a cool dude.

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Sounds good

[@Dan_Ranger]

Great interview. Great player and all round nice guy. Shame about some of the comments in the thread. Google and research first before making yourself look a completely noob… yeah I added an O.

[@stoneysdead689]

Hey- did he just say he played with Shenandoah? My first cousins Jimy and his brother Jack played with that band. Jack was a fiddle player who only sat in from time to time- he committed suicide several years back. He was an alcoholic and couldn't get clean and stay that way- but he was musical genius- literally. He scored all the music for the Illinois state orchestra- for each individual instrument. He wrote stuff that will blow your mind- I have his demo cds- mostly classical stuff but, also jazz, blues, and bluegrass/country. We miss Jack terribly. HIs brother Jim- who played lead guitar for the band- is still with us- lives in Muscle Shoals now and at one time owned Fame recording studios- I think he still does. Jim just wrote a book called "That's What I Thought." It's kind of an odd book, hard to explain- basically it's just Jim's thoughts on things that took place in his life. But he's led a very interesting life- it's a good read. Tbh I don't like country music, so I never kept up with the band like I should've. I know they had a couple gold records, maybe 3- were very successful- and got robbed by their management. Jim was left with not much at all when it was said and done. But I had no idea this guy ever played with them.

[@Billywagner22]

Is your name Joe?

[@stoneysdead689]

@@Billywagner22 No- I think you have me confused with someone else- my name is John. Jim had a boy named Joey, but I don't know any Joes- sorry.

[@davidwood351]

What is that paddle on the wall used for?

Punishing anyone who doesn't plug in to a real amp when they are in the studio :-)

Says he likes Teles but that Tele is the most LP looking Tele you could have.

[@badmacbassandbass8118]

What is that Tele style guitar? Looks awesome!

[@andertons]

It’s a Shabat guitar

[@MikeFinleyMusic1]

Saw Justin playing with The Calling years ago. Phenomenal guitarist.

[@brooklynboy1000]

He’s on TV every week on the Voice in the US. Featured a lot overshadowing the amateur singers. Funny about those shows. Without the million dollar band that any singer could neither afford or even know how to get any of those players there would be no Voice singer to try to make famous.

[@Doubrelle]

the solo he does on Pinks version of Babe im gonna leave OMG!! The drummer is shit hot also
