Right now, they’re in Europe, but Atlanta-based rockers with a distinctly Southern musical accent, Blackberry Smoke, smoked Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium for two nights in February before jumping the pond.
Their latest album, You Hear Georgia, was produced by Dave Cobb in Nashville, and hit the top of the Billboard Americana/Folk chart when it was released in mid-2021. PG’s John Bohlinger caught up with guitarists Charlie Starr and Paul Jackson before their sold-out show at the Ryman to run down their ever-expanding universe of gear.

Saw Blackberry Smoke in Albany, New York a few months ago. They were amazing.
Wow, Charlie seems like the coolest dude – real humble, salt of the earth type. Any of you meet him and can attest to that, except, John, of course, LOL?! ;p-) Paul seems awesome, too!
What a fabulous guitarist & front man. The real deal.

Great Band Blackberry Smoke proper Stuff and John B is a top Fella ????❤️⭐️????????
I could watch this all day. Love Charlie's gear. Love your video concept. When we're not playing them, we're thinking about them aren't we?
You don't hear many rock stars say they got their guitar from Guitar Center ???? but I dig this band and these guys rock! Thanks for the rundown, got me some new pedal ideas now
what incredibly nice men these are. Spontaneous, cheerful and kind. Not arrogant. They take the time for internet interviews and rig rundowns. A great band with great, ordinary guys. I love them .And that goes for you too John .
This band kicks all sorts of ass…. Allman bros/dead/skynyrd
That white SG jr…. Guy played with a thumb ring….
I love how Charlie shares the guitars with John, simply handing them over to say, "Here, you should hold this to get a great feel of it." ????????????????
"Charlie is Fawsome" ????????????????
Really enjoyed!
Ladies in the 50’s and 60’s may be gossiping on Monday morning and a few more winds or few less….
I have tried sooooo hard to get on with the tube screamer and just can never find the sound that people rave about , settled on a exotic custom BB boost and it is great plus it has 2 gain that are stages switchable
It’s funny…I came to this video for background on Charlie’s #1. Was watching a Satellites video from 1985 and I was thinking boy that LP Rick Richards is playing sure looks a lot like Charlie Starr’s black LP. And sure enough it is the same guitar. Amazing. I love that kind of guitar history.
I have buckle rash like that on my LP Custom. 1 refret and due again.
One of the nicest guys you will ever meet seems like. Most guitar players won’t let you tip there guitars but he wouldn’t care if you wanted to take one home with you. Got a really good sence of humor
Greatest of guys!
What about the carved up Hagus'/Four Horseman Telecaster ? It has a humbucker now (it didn't 8 years ago)… We need to know more information about it's history. What kind of humbucker replaced the P-90. It sings like crazy!
Totally agree with Mr. Jackson. Go buy a tube screamer today.
Who made the baffles?!?
Hope to see BS in March!
Man… you’ve got to love Mr. Charlie Star. ????????
thumb ring on the sg……richie fulkner(judas priest) wears one and does the same to his necks.
These look awesome and definitely something to consider for my next guitar…
Matt, can you please demo the humbucker sized p90s? I'd be interested to hear how the 54s sound.
not impressed by they music At all
but here to see some sexy Guitars and realizing how much his face reminds me of Father Gascoigne from Bloodborne
XD
not exactly a bad complement
Great interview. What a charming and welcoming guy Charlie is.
terrible show, if you can't play the music get off the stage
excuse me the show is okay but play the guitars, even 15 seconds, talk don't tell what the guitars sound like. I had rather see two guitars than 25 that don't play.
Some seriously interesting guitars there, refin or no.
What a great Guy Charlie is ????????
"I'm a physicist! So I subscribe to that theory!" Haha.
I like Charlie’s sense of humor.
Charlie Starr is a genuinely cool guy.
It could be factory black, even with the weird wear. Nitro guitars that have spent appreciable time in Houston ugly different.
