Will McFarlane | Truetone Lounge

[@colinwallace5286]

He still sounds like a 20-something kid in awe of what he’s been chosen to do. A student of his craft even now. Love these interviews, Zack.👍🏼👍🏼

[@barrysebastian9584]

This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen. Ever. So well done. Will is so engaging. The story about Steve Cropper and their dad’s was very emotional. I think many of us can relate. Wonderful job😄🙏

[@TruetoneFX]

Many of us can relate to the story about Cropper and his dad, and Will's father. I really appreciate him sharing that. Zac

[@jeffhebert9643]

These interviews are almost therapeutic . ...love these . These fine musicians are the magic behind years of incredible music we've all grown up on and enjoyed. Thank you.

[@TruetoneFX]

They are therapeutic to us too. Zac

[@Tier_1_Golf_Academy]

Been a huge fan of Will for years. Such a monster player and criminally underrated. The walk down from the V chord in the intro is so simple but it’s perfect. And that TONE!!! Great episode!

[@TruetoneFX]

He has a great touch! Zac

[@stevehorvath9589]

​I'm only 50 minutes into this, but all of these interviews should be required viewing for all beginning guitar players who want to be a well rounded and grounded musicians. Thanks again Zac & Truetone The 2nd half is even better - dang, thanks again!

[@TruetoneFX]

Thank you, Steve. Zac

[@johnl.6930]

You are spot in!!! To listen and learn from a tried and true master both musically and story wise. Will is an inspiration for all who’ll listen.

[@JasonHobbsGuitarist]

This is about my 4th time watching this video… this time on my iPhone so I feel very compelled to comment now… what a true talented musician and great overall guy Will is. Such an awesome interview, honest and heart felt. Will seems like he’d be the ideal person to create music with, down to earth and real. Made my day again. ✌️ Thanks Zac!

[@kevinolear6717]

Wow, you guys a Truetone continue set the bar a little higher with every new episode!

[@TruetoneFX]

Thank you! With every episode, we learn something new about our craft. Zac

[@codykleinsmith]

I’ve come back to this interview countless times. It’s truly one of my favorite Truetone Lounge videos. So many great stories with invaluable wisdom sprinkled throughout. Not to mention his tone in the playing segments… just incredible!

[@TruetoneFX]

Wow, thank you!

[@MrMusicguyma]

Entirely apart from his guitar skills, Will is a very deep and warm individual, he deserves whatever success and happiness that comes to him. Joy exudes from him. I'm up in age, a couple of years older than Will but when I "grow up", I wanna be like him. ;)

[@captainzeb1969]

MrMusicguyma His joy is otherworldly, seriously. The joy of the Lord!

[@ChrisNash]

I feel so honored to get to watch these interviews ... Thanks !

[@TruetoneFX]

You are so welcome

[@michaelbeck1042]

So great !! I totally enjoyed this interview with Will.... thanks for all you do Zac..... These are the greatest !! You do a wonderful job interviewing these incredible players !!

[@johnolenski]

Great guest and great interview. I saw Will with Bonnie back in three 70’s. Love his style.

[@admarhermans1]

Man, what a great conversation. I’m watching this in the spring of ‘23. I’m finding myself watching a lot of Zac’s ‘interviews’ lately. He has a true talent for it. He has just the right questions and gives people space to say what they have to say in their own pace. His body language during these conversations sais it all. 🖖

[@fivewattworld]

Another great one. Always looking forward to the next one.

[@TruetoneFX]

More soon. Zac

[@lynnmorgan3283]

What a great interview on a great player with such a humble spirit!

[@MartinCliffe]

What a fabulous interview with a lovely and talented guy. So many of these great interviews open my eyes to players I've never heard of (but I'm sure I've heard). Thank you for continuing to share them.

[@sbingham1979]

Wow, this guy seems just great: humble, kind, funny -- this is my first awareness of him, which just shows you how many talented and wonderful musicians I have yet to discover. Thanks for this fabulous interview.

[@rustyanderson4668]

What a touch! Will’s tone is just amazing.

[@mikemakuch2824]

This by far is one of the best subjects and players I have ever seen on your videos. This individual is the most deserving guest you have had, and his humility for as such a talented musician he is, makes the video that much more interesting and entertaining. Great video!

[@nikkienikkie4310]

Love this interview! So many hours listening to him play with Bonnie Raitt during my high school years - great memories! Saw him play here in Nashville with a new band, Big Shoes. Had no idea he was in this band, playing on a Thursday night and was SO excited to realize he was there!

[@marclandes9779]

What a great guy Loved his playing since his Bonnie Raitt days

[@adadogod]

Zac, I've loved watching all of these interviews. This one was special. Will was extraordinarily honest and it was touching. What a beautiful soul. Thanks so much for doing this kind of work. These guys are musical treasures.

[@TruetoneFX]

He was very forthright, and honest, which made it special. Zac

[@alansenecal5548]

As many times I've heard your stories Will, this has to be one of the best interviews ever. Just so you know, I never tire of hearing the stories. Love from Jean and I !

[@billfrancis5250]

I'm a mutt too... I play a real bad acoustic guitar, but I know all the songs and lyrics from the past 60 years... lol... so I get to sing and play in a band with real musicians... thanks so much for this peep into this mans life... all them tunes and tones are so familiar... and you let these guys tell the story... like Will said. "it ain't what you do, it's what you don't do"... pure pleasure... and what a guy to have in a band!!!...

[@kingdomfirst7778]

Best, most genuine, and informative interview I have ever seen. Well done! Truly inspiring.

[@TruetoneFX]

Thank you! Zac

[@stevelankford7343]

Amazing interview, the story about his dad really got me in the gut. The whole interview was just amazing, i live down the road in Talladega and have met some of the people that work around those studios but I’ve never visited. Thanks Zac for bringing this, And thank you Will for sharing your story. You people are just amazing. I’m out... Peace!

[@TruetoneFX]

Will is such a great person, and player. Zac

[@bradrehn1007]

It is a great clip. Zac

An amazing and articulate man. Thanks for the interview - really enjoyed it. These interviews are an important archive as some of these legends shuffle off this mortal coil.

Another great interview! Thanks Zac

[@gepardretardieu4931]

Loved the playing, the pace of the interview, and Will's story overall. I like his complex attack and delicious timing. Phrasing, groove, feeling, tone, it's all there. An hour well spent.

[@TruetoneFX]

Thank you, Tommy. Zac

[@tmitz73]

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing video guys!!! Definitely gonna cop some licks .....mind blown! Keep the great video coming ... thank you!!!!

[@TruetoneFX]

You are so welcome! Zac

[@rogerbacorn2848]

I met Will at a luthiers show in Chatauqua, NY in 08. Nice guy, amazing player. I remember him asking to borrow a small Champ style amp I had built a few years earlier for workshop in progress. No problem! When my son, Ryland and I returned from a dinner break, I immediately saw the amp was missing from our booth. I was a bit panicked until I looked on the stage and saw it set up with a mike in front of it. Will used it for the evening show and was enamored with the sound it produced. There's a nice endorsement on my web site as well. Will, nice to see you're still alive and kicking!

[@rustycraypots8954]

Thanks so much! That was awesome.

[@chriscasey2770]

Another great interview, Zac. Somewhat familiar with the Bonnie records of that era but was not familiar with Will by name. I'll be digging into his discography for sure. What a class guy and great player. Thank you.

[@robertsanders7061]

Love this, great job Will and Zac… the musical information just keeps on coming. Fantastic thanks

[@TruetoneFX]

Our pleasure!

[@Desmachine]

Absolutely wonderful.

[@Corporations8MyBaby]

Man. What a gentle flowing interview. At the end I am so much smarter about space and what NOT to play than ever. Thank you Zac!!

[@garysmith2983]

Really great interview. Never heard of Will before but thought his insights into life as a musician and life itself wonderful. On the back of this found the Bonnie gig on the Old Grey Whistle Test on KZbin and I highly recommend it. As Will says, it’s the bits you leave out to let the song breathe.

[@crazywisdom2]

I would like to spend an hour or two just watching him play ... NICE

[@jimmyc5498]

Always so great. Great info, vibe.

[@TruetoneFX]

Thank you, Jimmy. Zac

[@dr2675]

These interviews are awesome. Impatiently awaiting the arrival of a VS-XO pedal, also...

[@Rhythmanalysis]

Truetone arrived today. Is awesome!

[@ash7700]

Mojo and humility, a pretty rare hybrid. Will's a real treasure and a total gas.

[@TruetoneFX]

A real treat to sit down with. Zac

[@rogerwilliams2629]

Maybe the best guitarist (and very cool human) interview I've seen. Great job.

[@TruetoneFX]

Thanks! Zac

[@halhawkins7641]

One of my favs. Will always the right thing.

[@chadwickdalejohnson]

This made my day - maybe my year! Wills a huge influence on my playing - love him!

[@TruetoneFX]

He is such a great player and person. Zac

[@robflewell7706]

Will is one of the best tone monsters Ive heard live. Sweet as honey.

[@TruetoneFX]

Couldn't agree more!

[@paulsr54]

Will graced my session in Muscle Schoals and played a great solo on a gospel tune I did called “I’ve Got a Rock” produced by drummer Mike Caputy. You can search for the video here on KZbin. He’s a beautiful person and great player… a winning combination!

[@guitareveryone]

Great stuff! I really enjoyed that.
