Over the last three decades, touring and recording with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, I have had the pleasure of using many different guitars. I have been asked many times why I choose the ones I use, and why I use so many.

Over two days, I sat with a crew and went through my collection, playing and discussing the guitars as we went. The resulting video series answers these questions and many more about the instruments. The stories behind the acquisitions, demonstrations of their tones, and parts they played on recordings with my band over the many albums we have put out.

I had a blast sharing the Fenders, Gibsons, Rickenbackers, Gretschs, Martins, and many more I have acquired over the years. I'm really proud of the work director Justin Kreutzmann did, filming this journey.

If you love good music and guitars as much as I do, I'm sure you will have fun watching this series.
