Author Brad Tolinski (Guitar World, “Light & Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page,” “Play It Loud: An Epic History of the Style, Sound and Revolution of the Electric Guitar”) will moderate the discussion on Gibson TV’s Facebook and YouTube Live channels Thursday May 21 at 6 pm Central. As the show’s title “Ask Eddie Kramer” implies, he will also take questions from viewers during the chat.

Here is last week’s conversation:

Kramer began his recording career working at three of the most legendary studios in rock, Pye Studios, Regent Sound and Olympic Studios, where he recorded Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Traffic and other major recording stars. He then moved to the Record Plant in NYC before taking charge at Electric Lady Studios, hired by Hendrix himself. His producer/engineer credits is a veritable top albums of all-time list: Led Zeppelin II, Are You Experienced, Electric Ladyland, Peter Frampton’s Frampton Comes Alive and more.
