For more than 20 years, English guitarist Barrie Cadogan (aka @LittleBarrieOfficial) has been one of the go-to 6-string collaborators for England’s biggest rockers, from Morrissey and Liam Gallagher to Primal Scream, Paul Weller, and more. The Better Call Saul theme song composer has also made a name for himself in the U.S., notably as a trusted creative collaborator for Dan Auerbach and his Easy Eye Sound studio. That’s where PG’s Chris Kies linked up with Cadogan for this Rig Rundown. Tune in for the full interview for all the fascinating details, and peek at a quick preview roundup below.
