One of the masters of slide guitar and a regular here on MusicRadar’s tutorial channel, Sonny’s list of playing and recording partners reads like a veritable who’s who: John Mayall, Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Buffett and Eric Clapton to name but a few.

Indeed, old Slowhand himself once described Landreth as "probably the most underestimated musician on the planet and also probably one of the most advanced, and it puts me to shame.”
