When I was 14 my dad took me to my first ABB show in 1996 and we were front row and center. I was having the absolute time of my life and Warren noticed me because I was by FAR the youngest person up front. So between songs he walked over to Dickey and pointed me out to him and they told a roadie to bring them an Eat A Peach shirt and they both signed it and they walked right to the end of the stage and pointed at me and made sure the shirt landed right in my hands! Not long after that I picked up guitar and am 41 now and have been playing religiously ever since. Warren Haynes is still to this day besides Clapton my favorite player on earth and the Gov't Mule album Dose was a modern day Disraeli Gears for me! STILL a masterpiece and I got to see the original Mule in all their glory during that tour and they DESTROYED Frampton AND that version of Skynyrd that night and I absolutely worship at the altar of Gary Rossington but man the Mule back in those days were in world domination mode! Thanks for everything Warren! Guitar has shaped my life in SO many ways!

[@BillyE5150]

Such a great, humble LIVING LEGEND!

[@charlesmullins3238]

Me and my buddies I learned to play with have been mule and abb fans since round 93 94 I guess…he’s met warren and Derek and cut a album with Johnny Neil yrs back…

[@ryanlocati5695]

Awesome story! What a memory

[@Its6string]

That’s was an enjoyable read!!! Very cool…. 🎶✊🏼☮️🏴‍☠️

[@cheezyridr]

man, when you talk about "dose" you were tellin the stone truth about that record. epic from start to finish. i spent sooo many hours learning to play every song as close i could to how he does it, and i learned sooo much. i would be embarrassed to admit how long it took me. glad you mentioned that album, it's one of my all time favorites

[@johnb4024]

I love how Bohlinger is always genuinely like a kid in a candy store. Keep bringing these rig rundowns!

[@whiskeywhiskeyromeo3730]

I agree.....also glad when he gave up hair dye....😮

[@lnugent1000]

I would be too with Warren!

[@williamlangeii4012]

Yep, he's definitely the right guy for the job. Even with the white hair now he still seems like my 5 year-old Grandson learning something new.

[@TerrapinStation]

There’s no way Warren isn’t the most humble guitar hero out there. Seems like such a genuinely nice guy.

[@ricknelson5493]

he IS GENUINELY A GOOD, KIND MAN

[@mikerowland8961]

I have spoken with Warren on several occasions ... He IS the kindest and greatest guy! His heart is as big as his riffs!

What a great guy! Warren Haynes is not only a great guitar player with great ears, but he is also a Gentleman with a capital G. Thanks for showing us your rig sir!

[@toolittle7204]

Best soldano tone ever, I love how kind of higher-than-expected gain tones Warren goes for, yet they work so well

[@romusromulus]

You're joking right? The amp started the higain cascade tone used like a Marshall?

[@williamlangeii4012]

Him and Eddie Van Halen on F.U.C.K. and Balance. Same head, they sound incredible and are tough to find and expensive to buy.

[@johnsawyer6145]

Warren Haynes made me fall in love with the electric guitar. His tone, musicianship, and gracious nature are a gift. Thank you for posting this!

[@johnsawyer6145]

Oh, and the story that he told about the Les Paul that was "unsellable" reminded me that - years ago, when I was saving up for my first Les Paul - I had a photo of him with that very guitar as the wallpaper on my computer screen. :)

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

It's Warren's fault I ever bought an Les Paul, being a Strat guy at heart like I am. But I the clip of him at the Dave Matthews Band gig at Central Park on an extremely large screen TV, and I was just blown away.

[@Gorilla.Guitar]

& dont he have more soul in his playing than anybody else in the genre?

[@williamlangeii4012]

Listen to his solo (and singing) on "All Rise Again" (Blackberry Smoke, You Hear Georgia album) I think it's the best slide solo I've ever heard. It makes me smile everytime I hear it. There's also a video for the song, it's one of those cool "making of the song" videos in the studio...check it out if you haven't heard it

[@smokeynewport1591]

Warren is a living legend. I feel so blessed to have seen him in the Allman Brothers and from the very beginning of Mule.

[@charlesmullins3238]

Man the early days they were badass….I said that like they fell off….not a chance

Warren is one of the best to ever do it. I listen to live Mule albums religiously. It’s a shame Allen Woody isn’t there to show off his rig with him.

[@ravenheart1439]

Absolutely love Warren's playing and touch, great voice..he's been an influence on me for decades...an American treasure Forsure...

[@delsolsyxx]

Thanks Guys, Warren definitely has one of the sweetest guitar tones of all time

[@premierguitar]

We agree!

[@mcampbell5158]

He is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time.

[@Marcus_C51]

Yes, quite sweet tones always! Really a tasteful player who can burn with the best of them when he wants to.

[@ricknelson5493]

I'd REALLY DIG tosee/hear Warren jam with Blackberry Smoke

[@rocinblues]

So great to see Warren touring again and in good health. My favorite slide player and a true legend. Keep rock'in

[@edsingle3439]

Warren is my favourite guitarist and I was lucky enough to buy him a beer at a gig in Wyoming in 1999. I'd never seen him play before and I was travelling in the USA from Australia when I saw Gov't Mule at Jackson Hole but didn't realise who they were.. I was blown away by their music and when they had a break I was at the bar when Warren came up so I bought him a beer and told him how much I enjoyed his guitar playing. He was very down to earth and thanked me for the beer and we had a little chat. It wasn't until I sat back down and asked a couple of locals who he was that I realised he was the great Warren Haynes from ABB and Ive been a fan ever since !! I can't wait for the new album to add to my collection .

[@joemisek]

I've never clicked on a video so fast when I saw this was released. Warren is sensational.

[@terrencegreene5167]

Warren came into my pharmacy where I worked as he needed a script for his wife. When I saw him, I had a grin a mile wide. He let me go home to my house grab my R9 and proceeded to sign the back of it. Topped it off with a picture of the 2 of us with said R9. Great tone and a great man. He's done a lot for Asheville to boot.

[@ericblaisdell7987]

I had the pleasure of meeting Warren 20 years ago. He came into my local boutique guitar and amp store to buy an older SLO100. He's a genuinely nice person, humble, and a monster guitar player.

[@TVoltG]

Love this man's playing. Truly a gift to all of us..

[@mikeheuer1276]

His playing is so good that it is easy to overlook what a great singer he is, too. Combining those two in one person really shows how insanely talented he is as a musician.

[@seanwoodburn2616]

Great rundown. Poignant to hear Brian's name. RIP to a great soul.

[@director2bob]

Love listening to Jeff Beck (RIP) Great job Warren!!

[@aschneider70]

Seriously-just how good is Warren Haynes-what a player-and what a really great singer which is often overlooked.Hell of a job being his guitar tech though.Bring on the new Mule album!!!

[@InGrindWeCrust2010]

Haynes is an all-time favorite. Happy to see he's slimmer in recent years as I'd like him to stick around for a good long time.

[@mikeheuer1276]

Warren Haynes is such a highly underrated guitarist. I love how he talks about making the guitar "speak" with a "vocabulary," which is the hallmark of a guitar player who has something to say while playing.

[@angusorvid8840]

I saw him and Dicky with Allman Bros live around '93. What a show. They both played great and had Soldano stacks that sounded amazing. It was a good venue.

[@geojaco9875]

Warren has been, without a doubt, my favorite player since I first heard him during his initial run with the Allman Bros.and Mule has been my number one band since it's inception. Besides his great playing, songwriting, and influence on my own playing he is one of the most humble, down to earth, nicest professionals one could ever meet. Thank you for this great Rig Rundown and much thanks and love to Warren for sharing his gift with us

[@michaelanana9304]

the quackiness of that LP in a beck tune is gratifying.

[@14lamnc1]

Amazing tones coming out of that rig, but props to Warren Haynes for still being such a great player.

[@BrianDupoux]

My favorite guitar player! Warren Haynes 👏👏

[@jjboogie1]

Firebird with the P90's was absolutely THE BEST TONE of all the guitars via KZbin while listening on my studio speakers! Holy cow! Just perfection.

[@alistairfletcher6187]

John himself is one of my favourite guitarists. Love Gov't Mule

[@stanesposito2664]

Warren is one of my favorite musicians and his Les Paul neck tone is the best! He's so versatile and is great at slide and is a very good singer.

[@robg1996]

Love the way he rakes the strings. So unique

[@jakollee]

Yes, great pick attack!

[@Superjet113]

The 12 string Les Paul is fabulous! Ive never seen one of those.

[@KellyMan1960]

And very special sounding too. Btw - did you notice the text on the truss rod cover? "TOLV" - that is 12 in danish/swedish/norwegian when written out in letters. Wonder who put that text on it?

[@nikolaibarbarich7887]

Warren is a down to earth humble guy. Love when your heroes are cool !

[@tah5w]

This has to set a record for the most guitars on a tour set up in every alternate tuning you can imagine. Tone and chops are still incredible.

[@willnova1234]

Cool story- I was delivering a part to a repair shop several years ago; as I passed a long haired gent that just oozed aura; I literally stopped; turned around and said; “man you look really familiar?” He goes “oh yeah”; I say; “yeah- you look just like Warren Haynes”…he laughs and says; “yeah I get that a lot”…So I go; “Are you Warren Haynes?!?” He smiled and said “Yes Sir” :)) it was just the two of us; so I was able to calmly speak to him about all the ABB and Govt Mule shows I had seen. We spoke about Butch Trucks; who had just passed…He had a Tesla Car :) Total gentleman. We played Soulshine at my Brother’s Funeral- Warrens just a blessing to the World. Carry On Sir. True Legend ❤

[@dwaynejessome1728]

Lots of love for Warren!! Man, the Allman Brothers family has some eerie dates in their lore. Warren mentioned the much loved Brian Farmer. Brian passed Aug 24 2014 and Allen Woody passed Aug 26 2000. Duane Allman passed Oct 29 1971 and one year and 2 weeks later and 3 blocks away from Duane's accident, Berry Oakley passed. Sorry to point out somber moments, but they were all important, loved and should be remembered

[@mikerodriguez5868]

I have seen him live with Gov't Mule. Listening to him through my 2-channel system, his guitar tone sounds so real and present. I have learned to respect a lot of Gov't Mule's recording quality in how they capture the essence of the sound.

[@madebydbm]

That's some beautiful noodling. Amazing tone and control.

[@ronlee2611]

[@marsalley]

Warren is a legend to say the least. Always has amazing tone and feel. One of my all time favorites! Such an incredible musician and humble man. I’ve seen him many many times. Seen him with the Warren Haynes band, Govt Mule and the ABB. Some of the best shows I’ve ever seen!

Stoked to see them this summer with Dark Side of the Mule!

[@JDRichard]

What a wonderful review and great chat with Warren. He is by far the best blues, guitarist I’ve ever heard, and I’ve been playing the blues myself for over 30 years. Love your style I love the way he moves between notes with that small accent note on the backend of most riffs.

[@TT-kf3pk]

What a fantastic and versatile player. Even more so a great guy and humble, perhaps underrated to the mainstream. Thanks for the video.

This man’s band and music is an inspiration to me. They don’t make musicians like this anymore!
