Only complaint: this episode should have been twice as long...Every day, the Cap gets closer to becoming the Johnny Carson of youtube guitar channels. Brilliant.

Pete Thorn is a class act, humble and seems to pick up every vibe in the room so everyone can feel relaxed and that they got attention. If the aliens contact us, send this guy to the front and we will all be ok.

Not just an excellent guitar player, but seems like an excellent dude! Go Canada!

A much more 'authentic' interview with a guitar and player who delivers real value.

"Let's quickly put another video with a lovely humble guy! That Agnesi video was such inauthentic!"

[aymericmarchand]

Pete Thorn is my definition of "authentic".

Saw Chris Cornell on tour after Audioslave split. He was great but I was transfixed with his band, the guitarists were unbelievably slick that night. Only when I watched Pete Thornes tribute to Chris Cornell some years later did I realise who the brilliant nameless session guitarist was.
Pete can play anything he's asked to play, not just able to play his own stuff, great video maker, always modest comes across as a genuinely decent man .
Captain is an A grade interviewer, knows about his subjects but let's them do the talking and teases personal stuff out of them.
Great watch.

From what I have seen, Pete Thorn is probably the best demonstrator on Youtube. Very thorough approach and entertaining at the same time.

Pete Thorn, the legend. Great player, brilliant teacher and really nice fellow. Fine work from Lee in the interviewers chair and all the production people as well. Splendid example of how to do a YouTube chat show.

Pete is an absolute gent. Went to his recent clinic in Edinburgh. Really nice genuine guy, very knowledgeable. Watching him work was a pleasure.

[ZappaBlues]

Very personable guy. Saw him on the street in Edmonton a couple of years ago. Talked to him for a couple minutes. Very easy to talk to. Nice little memory.

[henrymoreno]

Every time Pete thorn does story time, you learn a lot and very fascinating. Such a amazing and humble dude! Also monster player! I’m glad I met him at the Baked Potato! Very authentic guy! Lol

[Alec_McCloskey]

I remember in about 2007 learning eruption in about 7 parts from him. Still follow Pete to this day. The guy is an absolute genius and extremely talented player.

I think this was the best "Captain Meets ..." to date. Pete is such a great and articulate guy and a great musician. Lee seemed more relaxed with Pete than any other guest, and it all flowed so easily. Thanks to all involved.

[newworld]

I have watched about 40 hours of Pete Thorn interviews in the last week or so. If I ever grow up, I want to be Pete Thorn!

[ChrisBuckGuitar]

Looking forward to watching this one! Pete’s one of the sweetest guys you could wish to meet. He can play guitar a bit too...!

[BootleggerPhil]

How is it that Pete plays & presents like a mo fo on fire, and still make us all feel like we're in the same game as he? Plus, Lee is fast becoming a brilliant interviewer, very good at bringing out the subject.
