YOUR QUESTIONS: For Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora
Ask the guitarist anything
Tom Porter, Mon 8 Dec 2008, 4:35 pm GMT
In between dodging disgruntled Red Sox fans waving around $400 billion lawsuits while attempting to take over Hollywood one film score at a time, Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora is stopping by to talk to MusicRadar next week. And, as ever, we're giving you the chance to ask the questions…
As lead guitarist and primary songwriter alongside Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora has sold over 120 million albums worldwide. That's a hell of a lot of albums. He recently released a signature guitar, too: the ESP LTD Richie Sambora SA-2.

Hey rich, it's me again. I have a couple of questions, and not all of them will get answered. Will there be more Sambora guitars, I LOVE mine, and I really want to see the pink one and the white one that you used to use. Also, I saw you use an EVH Flanger, POG, SD-1 and Tubescreamer, what do you use for chorus? One more thing, do you think you could pull a Brian May and have your own seperate line of guitars? Atleast answer the second question.

P.S.: I learned to play guitar with your solos. And I wanna thank you for offer us good music. -

Hi Richie
One more question: Unfortunately, there aren't any songbooks and "learn-DVD's" from you as a solo artist available. Are you planning to release this kind of stuff? Would be very much appreciated ;-) -
Hi Richie, first of all I 'd like to thank you for your music.
Secondly, I'd like to know what makes you feel proud as an artist.
Thanks and rock on!

Hey Richie
I see you wore the Blessed Shirt so many times during Lost Highway Tour
Is there a story behind wearing the Blessed Shirt
How about blessing some of your fans with a Blessed shirt for Xmas
Just a thought
It would be nice if you could do an auction for that as you used to do earlier on rs.com

Hey Richie,
Do you feel the whole idea of a "signature guitar" has been somewhat devalued of late ? It used to be a case of the deserved few getting the chance to put out a signature guitar, and it was something special... whereas now it seems everyone and his uncle has them...
Cheers

Hi Richie, I still have one burning question that I would like to ask.
Since I will never experience whats its like to perform in front of an audience I wanted to ask a few questions.
How do you prepare yourself before entering the stage and do you chose your own clothes?
Have you had any embarrassing moments while on stage?
Any chance I could have that Blessed Tshirt?.lol!!
