This week I chat to Steve Onotera, aka Samurai Guitarist, who makes some of the most entertaining and comedic guitar related videos, as well as totally educational and his channel is full of weird and wonderful gear, which you know I love. Although we hung out at NAMM, we didn’t get that much time to catch up so I took this opportunity to learn more about Steve and hear his insights into being a musician with a huge online presence.
