"...I had the pleasure of recording Josh Gooch at my studio, Duck Tape Music, in Decatur and at a live concert at 2nd Street Music Hall in Gadsden, Alabama. He is one of the most exciting young guitar players I've ever seen. Not only does he have the technique, more importantly, he knows what and when to play. I plan to use him on my session in the future."
Johnny Sandlin, Legendary Producer

“ ...just wanted to thank you for doing the www.ShareMyGuitar.com PodCast. Your knowledge of guitars and guitarists, styles and nuances and natural ability to cross over multiple genres of music is rare in someone of your age. Mickey and I and the staff writers listened to your rough PodCast today and we mutually agreed that it was not only extremely informative and entertaining, but will challenge other guitarists intellectually to strive do what you do. The whole staff of SMG is very impressed!
Thanks again.”
