| Q: George, what was your inspiration for the beautiful song "I will remember".
A: Living out in the AZ desert was a very inspiring and spiritually motivating experience. The environment that I lived molded the character of a lot of the songs I wrote during that period.

Q: Hay George do you use the pod pro or the podxt more when playing out? I saw you with Lynch Mob at don hills using the pro, are you using the xt now? and if you would tell me witch one you like better.
Thanks Harley9058
A: I prefer like the features and extra outputs on the pro but I do like some of the new patches that come with the XT. Some of the more vintage sounding tones are great. I haven't rurally gotten into the g-port much but I'm curious to see what other user designed patches are out there.
to be honest, nothing beats the 68 Marshall super lead 100 plexi I have out with me right now through an old hi-watt cabinet.(except maybe the "Brahma" Peavey amp that we've been working on over the last 4 years and should be out this July)

Q: Wanted to know if you tune to E-flat on all your songs/albums or on just some? And which songs/albums do you tune to E.
John
A: “ Revolution” is tuned to “B”. “Smoke Tunes” tunes to C#. “LP” is “D” with a couple songs at “B”. (90’s dokken records were in “E” with a drop “D” and 80’s Dokken records were tuned to E flat for the most part.

| Q: I watched your REH video and it looked like when you do a pull-off, you push up with your finger to create friction rather than pulling down. Is this accurate? Just thought I'd ask since I've already emulated what I thought I saw.
Chris
A: I usually push up with my 1st finger and sometimes pull or push with my 3rd or 4th. This isn’t a hard and fast rule as I’m not that consistent with my finger so it’s hard to analyze.

| Q: I was curious as to what you do ,as far as practicing goes to get your smooth legato technique.
Shawn
A: I practice scales without any right-hand picking and also sliding the note at the top or bottom of each fingering position into a ½ or whole step and then return.
