Hey all, I think some of you know who Devin is but thought I'd start a thread for him. He's an INSANE guitarist and I finally got to meet him yesterday. He played for Treble Charger while they were on tour with Sum41, he's also played for Avril and Evan Taubenfeld. Thought some of y'all might like to look at the gear videos

here's a video I took of Devin talking about the guitars he's using on the David Cook tour

I never heard of him until now. He doesn't seem too bad.

Yeah, he's a pretty good guitarist. In what band he plays these days? is it with David Cook or was he playing with David Cook on the previous album? I actually enjoyed Cook's 1st album.

He got into David's band for this fall tour, which ends Dec. 10. Before that he was producing for some other acts.

Here's the Cook band covering "Rock and Roll" at 1:50 Devin kicks ass

Devin talks briefly about his time in Treble Charger

"Shortly following, Devin joined the Canadian rock band, Treble Charger. “I flew to Toronto, and there I was, 19, alone and in a different country, ready to perform with a new band.” The band opened for Sum 41 in Halifax. “It was quite an experience,” states Devin. “Everyone in the audience knew every word to every song. It was overwhelming and amazing.”
In 2004, rocker musician and friend, Avril Lavigne, asked Devin to join her band. “Avril and I had met in Los Angeles and we have always been good friends, so when she asked me to tour with her, I quit Treble Charger and joined Avril.”"
