Washburn leads in new Guitar heroes: Derek Trucks Jon Donais
Derek Trucks (Derek Trucks Band) and Jon Donais (Shadows Fall) were each chosen as one of Guitar One Magazine's, November 2002 issue, ten guitarists on the brink of greatness.
"To paraphrase Peter Frampton, the winds of change have begun to blow across the once abandoned tundra of guitar heroes, bringing new reasons to believe in the future of our beloved instrument."
"Whether you like the music of these players, of course, depends upon your taste. But real guitarists will undoubtedly see and hear things that will make them smile, and give them hope that the Era of the Guitar Hero is once again upon us." The Editors Guitar One Magazine
23-year-old guitar phenom Derek Trucks, feels all music comes from the same place. And he's not talking about Atlanta, Georgia -- which is where he happened to find the rest of his band. It's a feeling, an intangible, indescribable force that comes from within, no matter where you're from. "Whether it's Indian classical or blues or jazz, there are those people that feel it and really play it and there are those people that it's kind of a thought process for so it's not really coming from any deep, deep place," he observes, making a clear distinction. Derek started tapping into his deep place at the early age of 9 and has been drawing creativity from it and replenishing it with new discoveries ever since.
Derek Trucks is currently playing the USA Custom Shop Idol. Derek's caramel burst WI68 is loaded with Seymour Duncan Custom Custom in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck. This pickup configuration is ideal for Derek's authoritative and adventurous playing.
Shadows Fall is about songs, not parts. But the parts - traditional thrash riffs, a rhythm section so thunderous it could replace your heartbeat, a three-tiered vocal attack that could frighten the sinners in hell and excite the saints in heaven, guitar wizardry that will inspire future prodigies to pick up axes - are unified and balanced. Let's just say the art of the guitar solo has not been lost!
Jon Donais playing the USA Custom Shop NX6 and the USA Custom Shop X80 models. Jon's Padauk hardtail NX6 is loaded with a DiMarzio PAF Pro in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck. His all black X80 also sports a DiMarzio PAF Pro in the bridge and Seymour Duncan JB in the neck. This pickup configuration is ideal for Jon's ferocious and artistic playing.
