At age 18, Doyle Bramhall II was recruited by the Fabulous Thunderbirds to hold down the guitar slot. Since that early break he has stuck out as a solo artist, toured with Roger Waters, and spent over a decade collaborating with Eric Clapton. PG caught up with Bramhall II at Nashville’s City Winery while he was touring to promote his new solo album, Rich Man.
Doyle keeps his touring guitars to a minimum, spending the majority of his time on this ’64 Fender Strat. A trademark of his style is that he plays “upside down” with the thinner strings (usually D’Addario .011s) on top.
Bramhall uses a two-amp combo live. The first amp is this Blankenship Variplex that feeds a Fender Bassbreaker BB-12 2x12 cab with Celestion Vintage 30s.

Some of you are way too sensitive. Doyle and John seem to be having a fine time together. I don't detect even the slightest discord from Doyle at any point in this interview. He's not being a stick in the mood either; he's just being chill. John is a personality and there's nothing wrong with that. He's not being fake or weird; he's a good dude and he's just being himself.
He gets a bit sad when he talks about his daughter, being divorced and all the shit that comes along with it. But he never was the most vocal type. Every time I saw him on vids, or DVDs or w/e, he was always kinda quiet.
*stick in the mud.
@@lightningrt434 LOl and he actually is being a (slow pause) Stick in the mood... too
Props for John for getting through all these Teen Angst attitudes with most of himself still intact. ;)
I agree
Psychiatrists should wade through comments on these videos and find a bunch of new patients to help work through their low self-esteem issues and frustrations about having never "made it" as a musician... and their wife not letting them play guitar as much as they'd like!
It's always disappointing to see grown men bitch, moan, complain and gossip like 12 year old girls.
Welcome to TH-cam!
Doyle is a genius, when my wife tells me I need less volume, I can tell her I need to get a quieter amp! New Amp Day whoooo
People are acting like john bolinger was being weird ... He was being totally normal. He just loves guitar and music and gets excited. It's a shame that if you don't put on an act and be Rico Suavee people get uncomfortable. Great vid, Great player.
Way to defend yourself, John. I agree. You rock.
He was being himself... which is weird. If he’s shut his yap and let someone finish a story without the constant interruptions, these would be much better to watch. There were stories I wanted to hear finished, but Lurch and his magically reappearing hair dye made Doyle lose his train of thought because of the interruptions.
John is a fantastic player in his own right and an engaging, enthusiastic, cordial host ad wee well
Doyle's late father was the drummer and vocalist for The Chessmen with Jimmy Vaughan who were on the bill with Billy Gibbons and The Moving Sidewalks opening for Hendrix in Texas. Doyle Sr. was also the drummer for Marc Benno and The Night Crawlers who featured Stevie Ray Vaughan on lead guitar in 1974 ! Check out Doyle II with The Arc Angels that also featured Charlie Sexton, Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon...Double Trouble.
I didn’t know that! I knew there was a reason who used the second. Great bit of info thanks for sharing.
You know your stuff! Thanks for sharing! Knew some of the info but not all!
Let’s not forget what a great song writer Doyle Sr was either…Stevie Ray recorded his songs…👍🏼👍🏼
This was a great gear rundown because this guy actually demonstrated a lot of his tones. And boy can this guy play. Thank you guys. this channel is awesome.
Yes, that says a lot about this guy.
Check out when he and Charlie Sexton created the Arch Angels.
So Amazing.
He’s not good.
He is Texas Royalty!!!
@@MichaelWilliams-yt2ez Arc Angels was a great band ,I wish they would get together and play some shows.
Yet when Kenny Wayne Shepherd did it, everybody says he talks too much bc he likes hearing his own voice or he's full of himself or other crap. No, he just loves playing guitar and still gets excited. He was obviously excited to share all of that with Premier Guitar. But instead, people take it as him being a pompous a-hole.
I always appreciate when the actually let you hear what their rigs sound like.
Doyle is one of the rarest things in music today, a totally original talent. He's also one the most humble and down to earth individuals you can encounter.
I also have tinnitus. Didn't know that Doyle also suffers from this condition. It's quite remarkable that he's been able to keep playing/working with tinnitus. Cool guy, great player and nice rig as well.
I have tinnitus, also. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. It’s pure torture, and the thing I hate about it most is how it interferes with my music listening pleasure. Take away everything from me, but to take that away is downright cruel.
Love his playing...really hits me deep...he is one of the last great Austin cats...not that there aren't great ones now but from the old guard...i used to live there, and there is just a certain authenticity to his playing..like Stevie Jimmy...Derek OBrien etc...its like they aren't just playing the form properly..the music is really a part of them..of the fabric of the culture from that part of the country !
@Fretboard Burner
Dipshit.
You know no one treats Jimmie Vaughan like they should and he is the last of the Vaughan Austin tribe!
You just got to hope that Doyle Jr. & Charlie Sexton continue to carry real organic music while still being the sweethearts to the music fans. Got to meet Charlie one time. He is the nicest, coolest, & down to the salt of Earth personality!
Love Doyle Bramhall...one of those hidden Gems in the guitar world, but ranks up there the more you listen to him.
John B. is a great host and interviewer. He’s using personality to get as much info from his interviews as he can. Much respect to both of these guys. And...damn, what a player!
Doyle Bramhall II.
One-of-a-kind.
Truly.
"That's great!" - John Bohlinger
Cool!! I can't watch him anymore.
@@FYMASMD "Yeah!...Huh! Yeah man!"
don't forget......, "wow"...... he's a pretty cool dude tho', seems very chill and genuine, he does have a limited set of verbal reactions, but how doesn't.......
Was he supposed to say "Wow, what a shit guitar/amp, you should change your rig!"?
What'dya want from him? :P
@@keepitwitmine Yeah, you're clearly not even witty enough to make a good attempt at insulting people. What a loser.
This is one of my favorite rig rundowns. I love and respect Doyle's humility. What a great guy and an incredible talent. Rich Man is one of the best albums I've heard in a while. Thanks Doyle for being so open and generous.
Doyle Bramhall II is the man! I saw him with Clapton, my last live show before covid. New SF place in December of 2019. He is incredible. Between he and Clapton I was blown away!
He has the greatest vibe tones.... since Hendrix. Hands down!
I remember seeing Doyle live with Roger Waters back in 2000, during Roger's "In The Flesh" tour. Great guitarist.
matt k yep he's why I bought the DVD.
Marc Stanford me and my grandad just binge watched that cd in his theater. It was incredible!!
Me too, I was there when they were in Barcelona.
We love John Bollinger.. It's a pleasure to watch his Premier Guitar stuff. And Doyle's new album ''Shades'' are fantastic! They both kick major ass!!
Doyle Bramhall II is one of my favorite artist. Excellent Rig Rundown!
This Lesliesound is fabolous!!
Doyle is so cool and an incredible player and singer!
The vibrato delay line is not shown but resides most likely down on the bottom of the box. The motor drives the scanner unit on the left that works to make contact along various points along the delay line. Very cool adaption of a truly unique analog circuit.
great interview with a great american musician, a true artist... so much talent and still soft spoken and humble.. defineately a great rundown
Don't care what anyone says. This was a great interview.And really shows how humbling and real both these guys are! Great stuff man!...
Love to see a rig rundown with Doyle's friend Charlie Sexton.
Eric Erwin couldn't agree more
YES!
Yes! Charlie!
Bill and Ted's excellent adventure!
Doyle is and has been my Numero Uno guitarist to study the blues by. Loved and still listen to his dad's stuff having grown up with it over my years. What an awesome artist he is! Love his new CD which I also bought on vinyl. I've yet to see him live in concert BUT he is on the bucket list of "MUST DO's"! Thanks PG for asking Doyle to do this video interview. Awesome!!! Hopefully you will do another one on him in the near future.
Love Doyle. Really impressive how he plays. Fun to watch. Great guy. Such s good player too. He really gets a unique sound with his strings reversed.
This is my Guitar Man. so Royal. Just love listening to this.
One of the great modern players/songwriters/singers of the last twenty years.
Fantastic. I saw Doyle at the Troubadour in LA with Craig Ross. Best show I have ever seen. A true presence on the guitar. I dig these rig rundowns and I've been waiting for this one!
I saw Doyle earlier this month, and he had this guitar.. he really took his time tuning it.. But it does look like it was played and put away wet!
Sounded great, who cares about bright and shiny...
And he blew about 3 amps!!
What a great guitarist and he knows his gear.
Doyle has the best fuzz sounds. that zonk machine is amazing
Love this! Doyle's new album is amazing!
Saw Doyle once with the Arc Angels in a small club in OKC. He and Charlie were both amazing. His passion and tone were incredible. Really wish that band had been together a bit longer.
They are my all time favourite band. I feel the same way.
Love watching John Study! Doyle's playing, of Course John you are amazing as well
I love watching Doyle play with the great Eric Clapton. Arc Angels and Storyville were amazing and I was lucky enough to see them in small and large venues in and around Houston. Traveled to 6th street in Austin a handful of times. My great friend, Mary, was the promoter and manager for many musicians such as Bobby Mac and Seth James Walker all amazing. All great musicians from TX, all very approachable and humble. Doyle is one of my favorites by far and I love his vocals
Great video.. Nice to hear Doyle call it a Lesley Amp..Can remember one, two horns spinning around 40+ years ago
Thanks
Doyle is probably the coolest cat on the planet! Killer tones and a killer player
Man does this wah sound good !!
Whatever his vices might be, he's still one hell of a guitarist and that's all I'm interested in. May God help him to overcome any addiction
“If that’s a $5,000 pedal I think your secret is safe” 😂😂😂😂😂
NOW THAT'S A PEDALBOARD I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE!
Damn he is sassy..Great interview..these two. John and Doyle. Doyles mind and petals..Awesome..So Melodic Doyle..I bless you for holding the ground in the Middle among the Kings. Among Arch Angels.
Haha, I loved "Vemu-, Vehmoo-?" "Jan Ray." "Jan Ray, okay."
Love Doyle, has to be one of the very best musicians out there, after his Dad, AND he is a big "Jr Brantley" fan too!
I loved Doyle on the Roger Waters tour, he nailed Gilmour both on guitar and vocals, as best as anyone could.
Gilmour's slow solo are not so easy to play.. and Doyle looks so comfortable with his touch.
Doyle has some of the best tone in the game today!! Also, the best hands and gets that unique sound playing top down on the upside down strings
Left handed strung, right handed, that’s how I jam and it’s awesome. I’m in great company. I would never change it for anything. 🤘🤘
Its about Time they caught up with Doyle. He has been under everyones radar for far too long. He is a real artist a real musician and a great singer songwriter. His style is completely unique, no one sounds like or plays like doyle.. Nice to see he is getting the recognition he deserves. Great job premier guitar. Also for you guitar pplayers out there if you really want that fuzz tone hes got, check out berkos fx. i got the third stone pedal and it is incredible, and if you want the zonk machine make sure you get it from a dealer who is legit alot of crappy clones out there> thE zoNK has the sizzle of an octavia without the octave.. Doyle uses his volume knob alot to control his tone and fuzz. Before this board he was using an Analogman NKT 275 Sunface and a Deja Vibe , the new custom shop deja vibe is just as nice as the vibe bro
one of the best rig rundowns I've seen in a long time......the guy actually playing the rig.....talk it cheap sometimes...kudos
This guy is so happy about everything "awesome, cool, amazing.. I love every tone!!" hahah what a dude. :)
Doyle is so badass playing a guitar upside down and backwards, no one compares! I've loved him since Arc Angel's and am so happy Clapton got him back playing again and has recently been on tour with Clapton. I'm proud of him for getting clean and playing better than ever. I've already pre ordered his new CD coming out in Oct. Can't wait! Love love love you Doyle.
Holy shit that wah sounds so good and that zonk sounded just perfect too
He has earned his place in the top blues players list for the last thirty plus years and I am a huge fan of his work and he has been with Clapton since the first part of the nineties so he has been very creative with his solo stuff and his contribution in the Arc Angels with is a great album/ CD That still stands out today
Saw the Arc Angels in RI. General admission, and the band is hangin out at the bar drinking beers, shakin hands, meeting people and super cool guys! We were standing at the stage two fisted and just blown away! I hadn’t even heard anything but Living In A Dream on the radio! The rest is history!
Man, Doyle is great!! What a sound!!
my favorite Rig Run Down so far!
One of the best guitar blues players!!
Premier Guitar Thanks for doing these awsome "RigRundowns"
And John Bolinger Your Awesome!
amazing tone, great lesson.
one of my favorite guitar players of this modern era. great interview John !!!!!
John is a great guy. So is Doyle. Both phenomenal players. John is far more excitable and outgoing than Doyle. Big deal. This is an amazing rig rundown. I appreciate John's questions and Doyle's thoughtful responses. Want to see something "great"? Watch John demo the Moog tremolo pedal. Guy could wipe the floor with most of these armchair rockstars in the comment section.
Every time I see a video with Doyle playing, I appreciate his skill, stlye & passion tons more. I'm a drummer not a guitarist but, I really dig cats that are into their gear as much as their playing. That always carries me cause my gear is a huge part of how I play & how I sound. I just couldn't get into playing but knowing how to tune my kit or why I would use an 18 Medium or a 18 Thin Crash.
The sound of that '68 Vox wah at 19:53; such a great old school Strat tone.
I love the details of his guitar, I was introduced to Doyle on a Crossroads DVD, I didn't think there was someone else out there that played like me. I play right handed guitars upside down and I'm looking to get my own lefty fender someday.
Eric Gales also plays upside-down
Great rig rundown. One of favorite players - cool to mention learn straight to amp then add textures once you got your tones down - mistake I made years and years ago -
Right on Doyle - see you soon live in Austin!
Great rig rundown! Really enjoy Doyle's music. Nice job by Mr Bolingbrook.
One of the best intro riff the rig down!
I saw him in Minneapolis on this tour and five years later I still get inspired thinking about it...
Such a cool and humble musician...true artist
Doyle's solos are so tasty. I love this guy
“That’s a killer, man”
1964's continue to come up as really great guitars. Have four Strats here '55, 57, 64, 66 and the 64 is heads and tails over all of them. This particular one found at the original owners home right down the block from me. Super clean as he never learned how to play it, not one solder's been touched and it weighs 6,5 POUNDS!!! Have never had a trem Strat that light. AND....yes, it's for sale
Really awesome rig !!! Doyle Bramhall is an extraordinary player !
If you guys who don't like John Bollinger whine enough maybe they will get a sleazy used car salesman (otherwise known as an actor) to replace him - i prefer a real person who struggles with his acting - John Bolinger lives for the whole guitar thing and that's what matters most to me . Doyle is cool but he's so laid back that he made it a little more awkward than it should have been.
Don Weber But even then he took the time to do a little private pedal show, I don’t think he did that for nothing. I’m sure he hadn’t if he had thought it wasn’t worth it. He knew he was being appreciated.
who dont like john? JB ITS THE BEST HOS FOR THIS KIND OF THINGS
Jon's a nice enough guy, for sure. I'd have a little trouble containing my inner fan-boy too if I were there. Doyle was chill, he rolled with it all.
For the record: Jimi Hendrix played a right-handed guitar left-handed, with the strings 6-to-1 from top to bottom; Eric Gales plays a right-handed guitar left-handed, with the strings 1-to-6 from top to bottom; Otis Rush played the way Doyle Bramhall II plays...a left-handed guitar left-handed, with the strings 1-to-6 from top to bottom.
Love our Doyle 2. Wish he was still here in Austin so we could see more often. But hey, we've got Grissom!
"More than likely!"
Love your work, John. Thank you PG
losrogers13
Mr. Bramhall is a historian as well as a player - the note about Hendrix's playing. And Bohlinger acknowledges that!
When you press Like after 20 seconds of the video...
"Hey, It's John!" *LIKE*
Finally getting to see Doyle in Buffalo at the Tralf! BTW, Coco Montoya also plays the same way - left handed but strung for right handed. He's also a monster guitar player and singer.
Great Rig Rundown!!!!!
I wait to see Doyle in a Rundown and now ist's happening...sooooo cool!!👌
Doyle is the coolest and one of the real players!
Best one ever, this guy is cooler than a cool thing on a cool day
Nice to see Doyle still rocking the Acid Fuzz Zonk Machine!
He really went in depth with his pedal demos, I would be nice if they all did this.
Still miss the real Arc Angels years with the cherry red glitter Fender guitar!
Super excited to have found this channel. What a great, laid back way to find out some really interesting stuff about these amazing musicians and their gear! It’s like something you’ve always wanted to do, and now you can! Just an extraordinary idea for a TH-cam channel and I commend y’all for doing this! Hopefully it will continue for many more legendary artists and bands. Y’all rock.
"It does what a tube screamer tries to do" Doyle Bramhall ll.
I liked his band, the Arc Angels from the early 90's , with Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton from the late SRV's Double Trouble, Charlie Drayton and Ian McLagan ...
Me too, still listen to the cd every now and then.
Charlie Sexton too!
See what tomorrow brings
Dan Skammer
Got to see Arc Angels twice and Doyle solo and once more with his Dad. Got his autograph on a blank cassette tape card from my car, it just hit me he probably thought I was taping him but I wasn’t. He did look at me kinda funny. Good times.
@@-davidolivares love his song cry.
Doyle used to come into the music store I worked at when he was about 16 or 17 early 2000s or thereabouts. Then just about that time he started playing in the Archangels, ect...... He was just a kid really, but he did have the blues chops already goin on that's for sure. Then a few years later I, and my then girlfriend, soon to wife, then to be ex-wife saw him with Clapton not too many years after that. Small world....big God.
Doyle was 32 in 2000....
@@joosttazelaar9387 Then I have my timeline screwed up pretty bad cause he seemed just a very young guy at the time (looked it). He must of been kidding around with us when he told us his age......He bent a few strings and played like he knew it though. I did look up his birth day and you're right on. Very strange indeed..... I stand corrected to the known truth of his age. Thanks...... ":^)
Thanks John! I appreciate the Rig Rundowns, and the content that it provides.
Love this guy, great sound!
Doyle man. Chill af. My top 3 players since Arc Angels.
Love the the Scorsese blue cigarette smoke in the first few minutes.
Haha!! John B is in love . Haha
Dope Rig Rundown, with a bad ass player!
John Bohlinger is a humble dude who doesn't pull teeth to get answers.
And Mr. Doyle Bramhall II was great.With No Ego, Just a great musicians,Gentleman with all the bragging rights in the world.
Not One Mention,Now That's Cool!
Peace*
His tone is amazing and I think much of it is attributed to him being a lefty and bending differently.
What a killer tone!! Amazing
Dolye, what a great interview! You seem so low key, like your one of us.
Nah- he’s an alien angel god from the 12th dimension. Dont let the leather jacket fool you.
Very cool!
I am a lefty myself but strings set for lefty... much respect to those who play strings upside down, looks so difficult!
To tell you the truth, I am just glad to be able to find lefty a Stratocaster guitar, nowadays it's great, so much to choose from and at great prices too!
ALTHOUGH I still suffer when going into a guitar shop where 99% of the guitars are right-handed... ordering a lefty is basically what I do, and hope to God that when it arrives the sound is there, and the build is right on...
Years ago I would wish to have been a right handed player, but not anymore :-)
Another great lefty player, love his albums too esp. his last one, lefties unite!
