The Captain Meets Mike Zito!

[@Flukey_1970]

Is it just me or does Mike look like Danish Pete's American cousin

[@MustangBasssman]

No I thought it was him until I put my glasses on 😂

[@Sonny-lx7je]

Brilliant.......I was thinking the exact thing

[@Place_to_keep_videos]

Because American is an ideology, not an ethnicity. 😊

[@Mark_B585]

Excuse me this mans name is not Mike. It's American Pete. Put some respek on his name 😂😂😂

[@chrisman212121]

definitely! even his playing reminds me of Pete

[@danielversion1.035]

The Blue Silver Red Lace Sensor pack is just the best! So much win! Fender should still be using them.

[@bmckee5430]

Fantastic interview - one of my favorites I've seen on your channel! Mike is so genuine and an incredible player - well done!

[@MitchWild-kx1tx]

Mike is a cool guy. I met him twice. Once over here in the UK and a few months later over in Massachusetts at the New England Blues Summit. A great guitarist.

[@FoundryStreetJason]

Thanks for having Mike Zito on Andertons. He is one of my favorite modern blues artists. Super nice guy.

[@littlerhodyguitar2169]

Mike Zito is awesome. I used to bartend in South Florida and he'd play there every so often. Super nice guy and monster player.

[@thecolorhero1078]

Mike Zito is the man! Cheers

[@ptalley316]

I really enjoyed this!! Thank you!!

[@FRUGALZZZ1]

Sweet sounding improvisation Lee!

[@rockysloan3434]

This is awesome! Mike zito is under appreciated.

[@timothykresko1984]

And Handsome to boot

[@robbieegan9203]

Mike Zito is fantastic. His TrueFire lessons are the best.

[@JustinZak7]

Mike is from my town. I actually have a Heritage H150 that was purchased from him.

[@philipellis7039]

Enjoying this. I saw Mike live a few years ago and he was great, his guitar sound (custom tele, valve amp, probably three pedals) was all that dynamic, chewy thing the guitar magazines told me about but I rarely heard.

[@tomshaug]

So so so so awesome to enjoy Lee's visit with hometown great guy Mike Zito !!! Thank you very much Lee! On you next visit to NAMM, please drop in here for a night so you can enjoy on of the nation's great music cities!

[@GutterGuitarist]

Aaaannnnddd now i know where petes new moustache has come from....

[@SmokinRoccoKowalsky]

Best video I've seen for a long time. Thanks a lot.

[@jon210478]

What a nice dude, will check out his work.

[@ricknieskes9492]

I know this may sound cliche, but Mike truly puts on a fantastic show! The music just flows through him. Do not miss the chance seeing him live! Last I saw him was in Milwaukee at Shank Hall and Greg Koch the GristleKing joined him on stage. What a treat!

[@BeefNEggs057]

Gristle is so hilarious.

[@TheStefanGuitar]

What a friendly guy he is. Love his songs and play.

[@sawtoothred7943]

Pop into Kennedy’s for Pale Divine, Uncle Tupelo, The Urge, head over to Mike and Min’s for Tommy Bankhead, then up the street to the Great Grizzly Bear for Billy Peek. Live music was great back then. Now I’m old and crankin Ytube for any band anywhere. Life is good. Bigup Mike as they say in Blighty.

[@jessejacobs3792]

Great interview definitely gonna check out his sound thank you

[@jaypeterson7637]

My 2 brothers and I ran sound for a blues festival in Winter Park, Colorado headlined by Joe Bonamassa in 2005. Mike Zito was also a featured artist. Mike was a terrific player and very nice guy that treated us really well. He had a 12-13 year old son with him who also had amazing chops for a guitarist so young.

[@50trtr]

So Good ❤

[@Mark_B585]

Well everyone. It's confirmed. There's Danish Pete and American Pete. 😂

[@shorerocks]

Lovely. You geeking out on famous people just wanting to be regular people. I once did a Billy Greer (Kansas bass player) interview, and was so excited meeting him. Mainly because of his bands Streets (with Steve Walsh) and Seventh Key (apart from Kansas). And he... had just become a grandfather. He was so lovely. But for the life of me I could not get a cool music interview done with him, ha ha. He was on a completely different planet.

[@mwaythos]

What a great guy. I'm going to go and track his stuff down now.

[@mwaythos]

Also... Remember in the early 60s when they had an amp and a guitar, they fell on tonebenders, echoplex, wah, phasers etc like John Mills coming out of the desert and drinking a Carlsberg. It's all about finding new ways of expressing yourself and that is why it goes in cycles. If you've been guitar/amp/reverb for a while, the pedals can be inspiring. But taking the pedals away again has the same effect.

[@Mexxx65]

3:03 Mike doing Pete, doing Mike!!!!

[@janmichaeljablonsky9847]

Interestingly, the Captain mentioned that some people think he's from Australia. He does have a slight nasal quality that might lead people to think he's from Down Under.

[@charvlim5159]

the EF., I thought that was danish Pete from the thumbnail... 🤣

[@GuitarsOK]

K Line guitars! I interviewed Chris (K Line) on my show. Great guy! Figures Mr Zito uses them! St Louis ❤

[@chrisman212121]

I got it guys, it"s the purple guitar cable :D great video

[@geoguitar1950]

Lovely guy. Great player. Needs more recogniion.

[@CSLBRK]

Eddie is the one who invented the dipping the pickup into hotwax and now every pickup brand does it to all of their pickups!

[@graemero5532]

Super cool dude 😎

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Great stuff! :)

[@samuelrutherford8107]

I saw Mike at zoofest with Eric Gales as well. It was a great show

[@reauxdom255]

Mike Zito is a real guitar hero down here in the Texas Golden Triangle (Nederland, TX). His blues are very personal, very soulful, and very, very real. He has used his music as therapy to live through a time of great loss of family. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview.

[@trevorD1156]

Very very real? As opposed to all those AI singers doing interviews? Congratulations the entire comment section is dumber for reading your comment.

[@dinadams]

Let’s give some respect to Anderson’s here, promoting a pedal brand exclusively stocked by Peach, and a guitar brand exclusively stocked by Coda, two main competitors. Add in the discussion around gear being a distracting rabbit hole……….it’s bigger picture stuff here that gives Anderson’s the edge.

[@StormdriverOne]

I recently cut my pedalboard down from a dozen pedals to three. Less twiddle, more play.

[@ianthomas4568]

There was before jimi and after Jimi the same with Eddie……he changed everything!

[@nathantharper]

When does Barry Zito make his first appearance? 😀

[@Sonny-lx7je]

As long as you are enjoying playing Guitar I don't think it really matters what Gear your using

[@bluesrockguitar1484]

Johnny Winter is my hero too

[@hiimawasteoftime8678]

I know Pete wished he had that moustache😂

[@timothykresko1984]

Mike is fibbing. He can play “like that”

[@Beatypatrockks]

Does anyone know if he's related to Chuck Zito?

[@joehenry9787]

I'm getting rid of all my gear and never buying anything ever again. Thanks Andertons 👍🤣

[@joehenry9787]

Only joking by the way - it was just such a lovely video. I'm still going to buy tons of gear that I don't understand how to use from Andertons

[@andertons]

😂😂😂 not my finest sales pitch 😂

[@nanorcs]

@@andertons not your best sales pitch, but a good honest interview, which will build trust with your viewers. I personally really enjoyed this interview, and watched from start to finish. Thank you Lee and Mike,

[@joehenry9787]

@@andertons lol 👍 It was great. Could see you trying to pull it back round again a couple of times. Mike was wonderful - what a great guy. Don't worry though - we're still buying gear. And when we do we'll be coming to Lee - because he's a great lad, a great sense of humour and we've had wonderful entertainment from these videos over the years. Danish Pete's first appearance clinched the Mesa Boogie purchase for me.

[@stratjed]

Gary Moore was the gateway drug in the 1980s for sure.

[@ZenoIV]

Dry has become a rare effect 😅

[@moussaounnoughene221]

Am I watching Pedro Pascal playing and talking guitar?

[@wellenstrom]

Zito? Wasn't there a Zito who collected mannequins in his run-down apartment?

[@jamessankey01]

I love your videos, and this one is no different. I have no idea who Mike is. You're intro for him was terribly weak. Firstly, put a mini bio in the comments, secondly give him a chance to introduce himself. Or you could just talk about coffee.

[@BishopDelicious]

Zito in Andersons!?! LFG STL!

[@Sonny-lx7je]

No way ...... putting Eric Clapton and John Mayer on the same level , I'm sorry but I totally disagree , Eric broke the rules in the studio and influenced so many White Blues guitar players by bringing the Black Blues players to the foreground in London. John is no doubt a great player but he hasn't really changed anything in the guitar industry

[@yodaTVmedia]

That’s just like your opinion man.

[@benlogan430]

I’m not a big Mayer fan, but he’s definitely changed the music world. He’s a guitar hero just like EC and brings people into music and the music that influenced him. One may have influenced more than the other, but that’s hard to say?

[@deanmlshredder]

John Mayer is driving the modern blues along with a few others but I'd have to put him at the top. HOWEVER! He doesn't exist without Clapton. JM has the chops but IMHO he doesn't have the songs. Clapton's catalogue has more pages than the bible. Your body is a WHAT? I don't think so. lol

[@babetopaz]

Jeez Pete, take the wig off...

[@brettking2800]

St. Louis is the arm pit of hell. He is not kidding when he calls the music store his saving grace.

[@NicholasANappiNick]

Lee sell Mike a new guitar his is all chipped up 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮

[@trevorD1156]

Lee meets a lot of irrelevant nobodies. If you cant get an interesting guest just dont make a video.

[@Thatbobguy8]

I don’t see Lee interviewing you man…….
