Used to love watching Geoff demoing on the Marshall stand at The Northern Guitar show at the UMIST in Manchester in the late 80s/early 90s. . Went year after year to get signed posters by Geoff and Jim Marshall. Remember his PRS and use of the JMP1. Got both his solo albums there. Great player and fab memories!

Geoff's backing tracks on the cover CDs with Guitar Techniques Magazine were very helpful to me in establishing myself as a Blues-Rock solo act in Australia. Mississippi Queen, Parisienne Walkways, The Hunter, I Can't Quit You Baby, All Right Now, and plenty more backing tracks that Geoff produced, weren't commercially available back when he did them, and as a result it made me kinda unique on the local Blues-Rock scene when I played them at every gig. So thanks heaps Geoff!! You're an amazing man!

The Paul Rodgers now album is a masterpiece of tone and feel! Thank you for posting

Geoff's work with Chappo is legendary & still muchly appreciated today!!! BKP Crawler set in latest Electric Lady Guitar! Don't stop Geoff! Thanks for this vid

Love Geoff and always followed his columns in Guitar Techniques when I was a kid. Thanks for the interview Lee.

A really enjoyable interview with an excellent entertaining entertainer and terrific guitar player Geoff Who? More, please. 👏👏👏

Geoff is a criminally underrated British guitarist, lovely bluesy playing style and feel. I notice his hands are shaking a bit these days tho - assume it's due to some age-related neurological disorder? Anyone shed any light on this? Sad to see, but pleased he's still at it! 🙏🤘

Geoff made an incredible contribution to Procol Harum that I'm sure he's unbelievably proud of and will be for the rest of his life. He was absolutely amazing in that band and I for one will always respect and admire him and his incredible talent. I will miss forever seeing Geoff obviousy love playing with Procol and Gary....The Denmark Procol Harum DVD that Geoff references has become THE definitive Procol concert of all time I believe, as it's quality and musicianship is amazing. He could play a $ 5 plastic guitar and make it sound incredible. He is a fantastic talented guitarist.

Met Gary Moore in the Cavern Club circa 1974 when he joined Lizzy...Lovely fella with a heart and soul made to be an awesome guitar player...

A band that gets forgotten from that era is The Groundhogs. Tony McPhee on guitar, great arrangements and lyrics. Pete Cruickshank on bass, so tight. .

I've seen Geoff with Roger Chapman and the Shortlist on stage half a dozen times and he was one of my favorite guitarists in that era. He had a unique style, very tasteful, always playing for the song. And he has a great personality on stage, it was always fun to watch him. Great to see him still alive and kicking.

Absolutely brilliant I've watched Geoff for years .I think he is the master .He has fantastic energy and enthusiasm. What a guitar player. Super watch.

Been waiting for this! What a lovely bloke, and what a great player!

Most enjoyable afternoon I've had in a LONG time! Thank you Lee & Geoff

I still use the lessons that he taught in Guitar Techniques - great material! It's nice to see all of the other things that he has done in his career besides quality teaching!

Wonderful session with Geoff, thanks Lee. He had the '57 on a stand on stage when Crawler played Babarells's in Birmingham back in the late 70's. Big boots to fill indeed, but on seeing, hearing and feeling Geoff's playing helped with our grief at the time. AC/DC were the support band that evening, what a night! Sail On Geoff... Great player.

What a great interview! Geoff is the kind of guy I could sit happily and listen to stories from for hours. ...and music of course!

I remember seeing Geoff doing a Marshall launch in the late 1980s, it was in Leeds, for the launch of the JCM900 series. I had no money to buy any equipment, but I got a load of free pamphlets, Marshall stickers, a Marshall baseball cap, and a poster signed by Jim Marshall. Geoff promoted his album "Geoff Who". It was a great day out 🙂👌

I had the pleasure of meeting Geoff a few times once or twice Demoing for Marshall. Once asked him what to do if your playing wasn't going to plan. He said " put the guitar down, and come back to it when you were feeling up to it. Also my Cousin's both played in Procul Harem.

I've recently become obsessed with watching clips of Procol Harum live in Denmark in 2006 on YT. Absolutely incredible and Geoff is on fire. Still trying to get a copy of the DVD.

Lovely episode again guys, was nice to hear both of you reminiscing of Barry Humphries, could never have imagined waking up and having the first notification on my phone of Barry’s passing this morning RIP Barry Humphries.

Great to see Geoff, love his playing and had the great pleasure of meeting him twice, once with Sid Poole who also was a really nice guy. Geoff is truly a great player and genuinely nice guy. Hope that one day I'll run into him again.

I was at that first Crawler gig at the Marquee. Support band ….. AC/DC in one of their first UK gigs. A night I’ll never forget.

Seeing Geoff play with Chuck Farley in the Red Lion in Brentford once a week for a couple of years is probably the best time in my life (so far).

Great to see Geoff Whitehorn on here! Saw him a few times over the years with Procol Harum and with Paul Rogers, I still have a Marshall Amps showcase cd from 2001, 13 tracks written and recorded by Geoff demoing the AVT combos + DSL100 and TS60 etc which I had playing in my car for ages on the long trips to and from work. Phenomenal guitar player !

What a beautiful tribute to such a legend!

Love hearing from the older pros. There's always something interesting and something to learn. Thanks for doing all the interviews Lee.

Geoff is such a great player! So lovely to see him. I think the last time I saw him was about 2003!

What a legend Geoff is.

Geoffs playing with Crawler was just tasty and totally underrated

Another stellar not to be missed interview. Thanx big time!

Loved that. I think I'm about five years older than Lee, so his memories and references to music/culture when growing up, are (reasonably) similar to mine, including Geoff Whitehorn! Saw Geoff at guitar shows, and followed his articles in Guitar Techniques - still get lots of mileage out of 'Two Tone Blues' from the tenth edition (and only the second to include a CD!). Thank you Geoff and thank you Lee! 😎

So nice to see Geoff again. I saw him at a London guitar show in the 80s doing demos for Marshall (I think), wearing full leathers and really going for it. I met Jim Marshall himself at the same show. Sooo long ago.

Would love to see a Captain meets Phil Hilborne.

Saw Geoff in the '90s with Paul Rogers ( Newcastle City Hall) and doing Marshall demos ( Darlington Arts Centre), amazing player.

That's just adorable! Lee has enough computing power in his vast array of pedals to land a jumbo jet, meanwhile Geoff has little more than shoe leather at his feet - and yet he sounds like a million bucks

I transcribed the whole Live in Hamburg in 1982……love Geoff…..

Fantastic Blimey now I feel old , I remember Mr Whitehorn in one of the Guitar Magazines years ago , along with Geoff Whitehorn and Guthrie Govan and Phil Hillborne they taught me how to play .

Not many years ago, despite Geoff being very active at the time with various big acts, he played every Thursday at a pub near us in Crayford. It was great to see such a pro just having a blow through a small rig , an amp you could take on the bus, and he still sounded the business. Thoroughly enjoyed this chat, very entertaining.

This was another captain meets that i didn't want to end. What a great guy! Monster player! Thanks..

Wow what a great interview. I discovered Geoff when I was living in the UK and the Paul Rodgers "Now" record had just been released. That band configuration Paul had was one of the best bands since The Firm. As a young man I was reinventing how I played guitar and the inspiration I received from Geoff was part of that reinvention. I had a Marshall JCM900 and Les Paul, but in order to achieve a lot of the tones on "Now" I built a stereo rig consisting of a Digitech 2112, Marshall EL84 20x20 and two Marshall 1x12's. I could get those shimmering cleans, and transition to the Marshall "dig in" sound. My band performed several cuts from the Now record. I got to see Geoff with Paul at the Cambridge Corn Exchange and come hell or high water, with a 101 degree fever I took the tube into London to see them at Royal Albert Hall. I searched and searched the internet on what gear was used on Now, but no info was found. I have about a dozen questions for Geoff, perhaps you'll have him on again and discuss more of the tones he got on the Now record. The playing was amazingly brilliant on that record. Lots of soul and feeling mixed with a lot of good tone!

I totally loved, what Geof did when he was in Roger Chapman‘s Band! We had the pleasure of opening for Chapman and I had a chat with him about his Strat he used to play

First saw Geoff playing with Crawler whilst I was still at school and was fortunate to meet him that night, years later bumped into him in a pub in Sheffield whilst he was on tour with Roger Chapman. Great bloke and great player 👌

Happy Birthday Mick

Enjoyed watching that.

Hi, I met Geoff at a Marshall Clinic in Brisbane (Aust) in the early 90s. Great to see he's still Rockin.. Cheers Greg

Great guitar player. I have seen Geoff performing with Paul Rodgers. His teaching in guitar techniques was legendary and I used to buy it just for that. I have his album big in gravesend which has great blues rock playing. Good to see he is still playing. Another Andertons classic interview.

A legend. Stunning player.

Captain, thank you for having Geof on board! :-) On Geof: I had never heard of him, but I have the "Live at the Union Chapel" DVD by Procol Harum, and Geof particularly impressed me. On jazz: well, there is the repertoire and there's the (in just one word) "format". If someone should insist in the instruments (including vocals) considered a separate property, I can see it that way. - Dire Straits' "Sultans of Swing" tells me of a period in my life (in Amsterdam, the Netherlands), and I hadn't known that song until my co-founder of our short-lived rock group put it on our repertoire. We had met in that jazz club. (Anyone remembering the Joseph Lam Jazz Club around?) Among the other regulars were two members of a blues band. That band recently came to my mind as my own improvisations at home reminded me of two of their songs. On effects: I hadn't used a "real" guitar amp for a long time (if at all, depending on one's standards). For a few months, I have had a Marshall Code and a Boss Katana, so two amps with "the effects inside". I don't at all regret buying the (multi-)effect pedals I have, but I find myself hardly using them. On guitars: the two most versatile guitars I have are by Godin (in Canada). I had never heard of that brand, but in the early 90s I was rather into MIDI, and my then default music shop introduced me to the Roland GR-30 guitar synthesizer and a guitar that had the required "13-pin" stuff built in: the Godin LGX-SA. It features two humbuckers, but the pre-MIDI signals come from a piëzo bridge pick-up. The acoustic sound available from the piëzo really caught me. A year ago, I watched somebody demonstrate a Godin xtSA on KZfaq. Again: great piëzo sound (apart from the HSH pick-ups), and I couldn't reproduce it on my LGX-SA (remember: without a "real" guitar amp). Purchased. In my perception, the Godin xtSA must be the most versatile guitar I have, with the LGX-SA in second place. I'm currently defaulting to the LGX-SA as my acting guitar. I currently find switching pick-ups (and a bit of Tone turning on the guitar) enough of a change of sound. - Additionally, I try to please (or "not-irritate") those in adjacent apartments by switching keys, styles and tempo.

Anyone around my age (48) thanks to guitar techniques magazine type mags of the mid to late 90's had the best teachers ,Guthrie ,Phil Hilborne and Geoff ...amongst others 👍🤘

Geoff is a great player. I used to see him play back in the late 1970's and my bandmate was of first name terms with him and I used to hang around while they chatted. Geoff got to know my face and used to always say hello to me. I have followed him ever since.

Why not get the likes of Geoff, Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody in one room, now that could be fun!

didn't know him. so thank you for this treasure ❤

Nice to see him using a Bluguitar Amp1. He has the option to use any Marshall he likes and chooses that. That proves it's worth

Great interview with a down to earth and likeable Geoff Whitehorn. Indeed the BKP Crawler retains good dynamics for a medium output pickup. I have been using the Crawler in a HSS-strat for many years. The split is also happening for tele-esque tones.

This was awesome! Mr. Whitehorn revealed that he played his first tour gig ever in St. John's, NL. I am a Newfoundlander and lived for a while in St. John's so I can certainly appreciate him saying how it was a "drunken affair!" Well, we love to drink over here in these parts! lol I'm glad he remembered it after all those years and gave it a little shout out in his interview with the Captain! :-)

Love this. I have the If albums with Geoff on and even Geoffs first solo album which is brill! His work in the mags also meant a lot to me. There used to be some great footage of Crawler with Geoff playing a custom tele (perhaps a Dick Knight job?). Cheers as always for bringing the goods!

One of the BEST guitarists ever…brilliant player👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great interview! I had never heard of Geoff, it was a pleasure to get to know him a bit!! I bet he was a blast on a tour bus!! I fell out of my top bunk once, when I was sound asleep at 4am. The driver swerved to miss a hurd of deer. That's about the last time I slept on a tour bus!! If I did sleep after that it was due to over-libation. LOL I didn't break anything but I was really sore for days!! Cheers, --gary

I'm similar(ish) to Lee in that as a teen I saw Geoff demo Marshall gear at guitar shows but l later worked in the music industry and have been fortunate to work with Geoff quite a few times over the years. He's a truly great guy, as you can all see!

Geoff was always one of the people I most enjoyed running into when doing the exhibitions back in the olden days

Crikey! I only met Geoff once at a Marshall clinic in Doncaster. That would've been maybe 1990 (ish). I remember getting his autograph & when I said my name was Gary, he said; "is that 1 R as in Moore?". That was when his "Geoff who?" CD came out. My dad was there too & Geoff looked so different then. It's good to see he's doing well, but sadly, my dad is no longer with us. Man, I feel old now: 16 yr old boy to 49 Yr old OLD man.

Didn't really know this guy before this interview but wow, what a great player and even greater personality! Definitely going to pay more attention to his career

Haven't watched it yet, but I see Geoff is using a Bluguitar Amp1 there. Nice to see.

Great interview. Interesting guy. Lee, you do a good job!

One of my favourite players. His work with Roger Chapman and Crawler are superb.

Legend of a guitar player and lovely guy. His GuessWho...album was a big one for me as a young guitar player

Happy memories of seeing Geoff demonstrating Marshall and live with Paul Rodgers. I did once get politely told off by him at a guitar show thirty years ago when he was trying to show something and I was making a racket on a neighbouring stall - my claim to fame that!

Been there… done that… got the jackets to prove it! Awesome interview!!

Geoff is just amazing/

The loveliest Rock God!

The first ever PRS I witnessed was at a Marshall Demo set up by Harker Howarth in Bolton in the early '90's with the stellar player Mr G Whitehorn. I bought his Geoff who? CD there and then and still listen to it. His version of the film theme tune Escape from New York blew me away. Great to see him on here. Thanks

Looking forward to learning who Geoff Whitehorn is.

Now do Robin Trower. 😎

Geoff gave me a few tips on guitar playing about 30 years ago at the old Tiger Music. I knew the square root of bugger all but he was a total all round good bloke.

I had a Geoff Whitehorn Fret - king for a while.

I really enjoyed this episode Andertones is the best KZfaq channel for real music

The tone these older players get…. Amazing.

In the 70's i was a Jaguar mechanic, Paul Kossof's father had a Jag xj6 that broke down in Exeter, i replaced the engine in it.

Been looking forward to this one. Fantastic player and a lovely bloke. No mention of his time with Paul Rogers though

Got one of his fret king signature guitars it is awesome!!!!

I was in a band that played the West London Pub Rock circuit in the early ‘80’s and we regularly saw or supported Chuck Farley….a band that Geoff played in along with the likes of Simon Kirke (Free, Bad Company) and Steve Simpson (Meal Ticket, Ronnie Lane’s Slim Chance). They were brilliant and Geoff’s playing was always stellar and impromptu guests like Mick Ralph’s would often turn up and sit in. Proving that it’s the player and not necessarily the gear, Geoff used to play through two little Roland Cubes wired in stereo, which inspired Stuart Ward to make him the original solid state Session amps. I have an early ‘80’s 2x10 Sessionette 75 which is actually a great amp….but doesn’t help me to sound like Geoff unfortunately. He would sound good plugged into anything…..

I've watched a Paul Rodgers Ready to Love video with Geoff and I have to say he had an amazing chorus overdriven tone.

It must have been terrifying taking over from the Terry Smith, who was a monster player!

Good stuff. First live show I ever saw, Geoff was playing with Paul Rogers, Roger Daltry, and Alice Cooper.

Love his playing, especially with Roger Chapman (Markthalle 1979 live is exceptional). The Eric Burdon Survivor record is almost a Geoff solo record, highly recommended!

Very good interview I enjoyed the tales!

Something about that intro jam made "I Shot the Sheriff" get stuck in my head :)

Geoff is a guitar idol of mine saw him playing with Filthy MCNasty with Chis Thompson in the 70s - so underrated

Geoff is so funny. Used to see him in the Wetherspoons in gravesend a lot

That JeffWho custom guitar is smashing 😊

Brilliant :)

Newfoundland! Nice!

Top player

Geoff, t'es un dieu, on t'adore❤

excellent!

BMF and Guitarist mag royalty! Geoff, Phil Hilborne, Jerry Stevenson - awesome players all

Long time no see Geoff...

90's guitar mag legend

Always enjoy these interviews, The Captain should watch Ask Zak though.
