ESP Guitars and Josh Middleton | Gear4music spotlight

ESP player Josh Middleton is quickly developing a reputation as one of the world’s most respected guitarists.
With technical precision that only comes from an obscene amount of practice, Josh plays for two of the UK's leading bands Architects and Sylosis, and he produces amazing solo work of his own.
He also has been given acclaim as a music educator, doing lessons in various forms.

Very cool to see Josh finally having some recognition!
Was hoping to listen some Sylosis in there though. Sylosis are one of the best acts there is, criminally underrated!
Very interesting interview!

[@Zambo0789]

I'm surprised Josh doesn't have an esp signature guitar yet. He's better than most artists on that brand.

[@eddyray666]

Agree 100%

[@michaelhoneycutt1837]

With his style and tuning like playing in standard with sylosis he's better than anyone that plays an ESP Guitar

[@somberlain8987]

I’ll be buying it if ESP gets it going already.

[@Excellerator420]

More shocked Fishman hasnt approached him about a signature set.

[@JokerCat9]

He will soon

[@Djeraldancheta]

Awesome sit-down! Definitely should have showed off Sylosis as well, ESPECIALLY when Josh was talking about how much he loves riffing. Lol CMON.
Josh is the man \,,/

[@NickRiffs]

Josh is the Chuck Schulinder of our time. His riffs are timeless and amazing.

[@wolfsden5842]

Damn I was super excited to hear some Sylosis riffs.

[@ericwilliams7374]

Love that he mentioned Chuck Schuldiner and Death....

[@eddyray666]

Criminally underrated guitarist. Thanks for featuring him, G4M!

[@GuitarSundayChannel]

Same here! The coolest headstock!

[@Mitchtits]

God I love this man. I remember being at the 2013 Soundwave in Brisbane and it was when both Sylosis and Metallica were there so Josh got to meet James Hetfield and the boys for the first time.

[@tarasbulba4512]

"Josh has lent his skills to bands such as Architects and Sylosis..."
Well, actually, Sylosis is his band.

[@gear4musicguitars]

A very good point! Updated now.

[@IainFrame]

Absolutely love both Sylosis and Architects. Josh is *the man*. Ridiculous levels of riffage.

[@AMH4brothers]

Josh the 🐐

[@yogawismawan8580]

So sad no sylosis riff here

[@fedbow349]

Мастер . Уважаю его за крутейшуюю музыку Силосис.

[@pabloleo09]

Simón bro

[@yahaguitars]

Josh is Sylosis, Sylosis is metal!

[@donnythei]

What's architect song that used in the background? I want to know

[@metallicatti]

Death is not defeat 🤘🏻😎

[@josuastangl7140]

and Modern Misery

[@N8TheGr8M8]

Which practice amp does he use? He mentioned one but didn't say which kind

[@michaelhoneycutt1837]

Probably should have named Sylosis first considering he founded that band way before he ever play with the Architects

[@joelmiranda5408]

Cool but I'll prefer to see Josh better in Sylosis that's one great band

[@tmmmedia731]

When u record songs that muscle memory stays for s long ass time even more when u playing them live all the time. Who needs practice at that point lol.
