"I think I sound more like me when I play a Telecaster" – Brian Fallon: The Virtual Guitar Show interview
Tele tone tips and '59 Sound era memories in an in-depth chat
VGS 2020: Brian Fallon should have been well into the touring cycle of his third solo album Local Honey by now, instead he's still at home and that's still to come. But he's making the best of it hunkered down in his writing room surrounded by choice gear – including a vintage 1945 Martin 000-18 acoustic guitar.
We talk guitars, amps, pedals, how to make a Tele sound like a 335 and why practice will always be the key to your tone.
