    Guitar Summit 2025: Interview with Philip Sayce

    We were lucky enough to organise a meeting with the amazing guitarist Philip Sayce during our visit at  @guitarsummit  2025 last weekend. Philip Sayce is a Welsh-born Canadian guitar player and band leader, who has played with artists like Jeff Healey and Melissa Etheridge (just to name a few) and gained a reputation for his expressive and soulful playing.You can tell what his influences are by listing to his playing, but he'll always give you that extra "Wow" moment, because he takes it to the next level and puts his own spin on things.We talk about his beginnings, the players he adored growing up, his work with other artists, his love for vintage & contemporary guitars and future plans. #philipsayce #guitarplayer #srv #steverayvaughan #jimihendrix #vintageguitars #superreverb #geartalk #guitargear #interview #guitarsummit #tonelounge
