“I grew up wanting to be Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads, but over time I’ve found my own dark and aggressive style. These days, my dream as a musician is to make people feel as connected to the cosmos as I feel when I play the guitar,” wishes guitarist Sammy Boller.
Sammy Boller has been playing guitar most of his life. He played in high school orchestra and even attended University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre & Dance. In 2012, his life forever changed when he won Guitar Center’s “Master Satriani” competition. (Watch his submission for “Satch Boogie” here.)
Catapulting off that success, the next year Boller joined Detroit rockers Citizen Zero. The band released their 2016 debut LP, State of Mind, and its lead single “Go (Let Me Save You)” climbed to #17 on Billboard’s mainstream rock chart.
But even with Citizen Zero’s success, Boller wasn’t sending listeners into the stratosphere feeling one with the stardust. Then while shopping his instrumental solo work, he quickly earned a fan in CandyRat Records owner Rob Poland who signed Sammy. (CandyRat was started by Poland in 2004 and began working with Don Ross, Andy McKee, Antoine Dufourto. Boller released his debut solo album and an additional standalone single—Kingdom of the Sun and “Path of the Heart”—in 2020 that snake between Sunset shred and post-rock melodies. The next year was celebrated with Boller’s stunning third release “Ritual Lights” showing Sammy’s first (solo) recorded run in with the wah wah. (Something you’ll now see on his pedalboard later.) He’s since dropped a pair of singles “Spellbound” and “Midnight Garden” that grow off his enchanting formula and adds in heightened technical abilities and deeper rhythmic grooves.
Before his headlining show at Nashville’s Bowery Vault, the fretboard maestro shows off a pair of versatile guitars, explains why the chase for his pinnacle amp is over, and details and demos the select stompboxes that send his sound into the asteroid belt.

No overdrive pedal. Think about it.
This is up there with the best guitar tones I’ve ever heard.
Something is wrong with the weirdo asking the questions. Do another line and keep waiting for a flood while you learn to speak English properly.
Dude stop interrupting and let him talk
I wonder what I can do with 24 frets man, that will be epic! Even better could be a 335 style 24 fret scale size. It would sound massive.
Saw this guy open for Tesla, lead singer was total trash but man this dude stole the spotlight what a talent!
Phenomenal player! He opened for Greg Howe at the baked potato this summer and killed it!
Never heard of this guy ever. But man I'm glad I have now. This guy is a modern day mark knopfler. He's amazing. ????.
Perry let him talk, jesus
Hell yeah. Heard of him but haven’t check him out. Will do so post haste!
Thanks to both of you for doing demos of the tones! Amazing musicianship!
Pandemic Perry is pitiful
Can we get a Perry rig rundown?
Met him when he opened for Greg Howe in San Diego. Amazing talent & amazing human being!
Am I seeing this right. No od or distortion pedal. That's All Amp gain? Highly impressed.
Gain and Master on the Amp are turned almost all the way up. It’s 100 watter… did he use an attenuator or what? ????
Love this guys style and gear. Extremely talented player ????
I became a Sammy Boller fan because of your buddy Dusty D’Annunzio from Windsor,Ontario Sam ???? & it was so cool to see you on this channel. I suggest “Dusty D’Annunzio” to be featured on this show + another super amazing guitarist “Kelly Kereliuk” who is from Hamilton,Ontario.
L Pcustoms do not have a cap
That blacklist Paul costume with a Floyd is literally one of my dream guitars I love that f**** thing
Nice guitars, wish Friedman was still making those, and Gibson more Axcess models. Simple, straightforward no-nonsense rig, too. And Sammy brings his own kind of shred.
Wow, his tapping is so atmospheric and beautiful, then he changes the sound & tears your head off.
Different styles, but he has a very special-natural feel, that i also hear with Marcus King.
This was very very cool didn’t realize Sammy had a Friedman guitar. I see him with the black Gibson guitar ???? mostly
I play a similar style & by total chance my rig is a Smallbox with a big Sky in the loop.
Let’s get Perry a Friedman amp!
He reminds me of John Sykes & Jerry Cantrell. Great techniques, straight in your face, & analog punchy sounds. Those 3 channel Friedman amp also rules !
Cool, his a metal version of
Stanley Jordan!
Love that amp!
This guy is LEGIT the next major iconic legend in the guitar world. I can't get enough of his music and will be a fan for life!!
Обожаю Сэмми и его потрясающую игру! ????????????????????
Sammy's a really awesome player, but so humble too. Glad to see this video
I have to admit, I completely misjudged this guy. I saw the hair and the floyd and thought to myself "oh great another shredder" only to hear some of the most beautiful technical playing I've heard in a while. Another musician I've discovered through rig rundown
Well, that was almost interesting.
