Nashville Guitar Stories Ep 1 - Grace Potter/Gyasi guitarist Ricky Dover Jr!

🎬 Nashville Guitar Stories | Ep. 1 – Ricky Dover Jr. (Grace Potter Band) Hey friends! Welcome to the very first episode of Nashville Guitar Stories—my new series where I hang out with my fellow guitarists in the Nashville scene, talk shop, and share some unforgettable moments.

Joining me today is the phenomenal Ricky Dover Jr., lead guitarist for Grace Potter. Ricky is the living embodiment of vintage style, blazing tone, and iconic rock guitar hero energy. But he’s more than just a six-string slinger—he’s a true Southern gentleman, a top-notch storyteller, and one of my favorite people in the Music City rock community. Find out what it's like to work your way up in Guitar Town, find your signature voice - and play Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" for none other than Jimmy Page!
