Greg is red hot angry about the news that broke regarding internet celebrity guitarist Giacomo Turra. You can check out the video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI4nuce3ppA). It appears that a large swath of Mr. Turra’s ‘improvised jams’ are note for note ripoffs of much lesser known guitarists that post on YouTube & Instagram. As a result of this news, nearly all of the manufacturers that endorsed Giacomo have taken down his gear and are no longer associating with him.
