Jack Gardiner is one of the most exciting guitarists on the planet, and Guthrie Govan said so first. In this conversation, Jack opens up about growing up working class in Liverpool, learning from Tom Quayle and Rick Graham, touring with Stu Hamm, and why he's been calling out fake guitar playing since 2019. We also dig into his debut album Kintsugi, the collaborators who helped shaped it (Cory Wong, Matteo Mancuso, Andy Timmons), his rig, and what's coming next. Follow Jack:
