Rick Vito

Rick is an often unsung hero in the guitar universe, playing some
of rock's most classic solos on records that didn't bear his own
name on the cover. He was a member of Fleetwood Mac, and the list
of artists he's toured and recorded with is downright incredible
(Bob Seger, Bonnie Raitt, John Prine, Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton,
Jessie Colin Young, Steve Goodman, Roger McGuinn, Todd Rundgren
and John Mayall - just to name a few!). Greg raps with him about
his early days, his signature slide playing, guitar gear, and of
course some stories from the studio and the road!
