| The Demise of New Pedal & Effects Demos |

I have seen a steep drop off of 3rd party demos for new gear (in particular pedals and effects).
Most of the demos that are happening today are from the manufacturers or people connected with the manufacture. They're not bad demos. But, they are one dimensional and have to have a bias.

| Who is your "favorite" guitarist? |

Just one. I've used "favorite" as it provides a lot of latitude. Mine is Steve Morse. A jack of so many trades and simply wonderful at all. And a good guy it seems.
Clip isn't meant to be his best, but the song came up in another thread so I'm offering it up here.

| What are the deal-breakers between you and a band? |

Lets say you were a producer with a major label and you've seen a band perform live...and you want to produce their first recording.
What do your require from them as a minimum level of input and co-operation?
What do they need to show up with at the studio...for you to be committed?
