I was a young student getting in to music during the late 2000s when these guys (and others like Andy Mckee) were starting to go viral on the internet, and they ended up being some of the biggest inspirations and influences for my own musical path. Seeing this interview, they also seem like super chill guys, I'd love to have a beer/coffee with them and jam!
I love Antoine. I remember myself 15 years ago putting his Candyrat videos on RU-vid while doing my highschool math homework. A big inspiration for playing guitar, love his pieces and it's lovely to see him speaks. Thanks Don!
I booked Don for that festival date way back in the day and Don's first impression of Antoine seemed a bit awe struck.. as if rounding the cusp of a realization.. namely that following behind him were a new generation of players who had much wider access to some of both the same influences as well as plenty of room in there satchels for yet even more.. The kids in town were beginning to emerge..
I absolutely loved this interview! Thank you so much Don for having Antoine on your show. It was so good hearing about Antoine’s musical influences and how he developed as a player and engineer. Excellent choice of questions to ask as well. So good. Thanks again!
Thank you for having Antoine. It was a lot of fun (and learning and understanding...) to see you two chat. I hope to see both of you live in Germany on day (soon!). Cheers, Lars
