Paul Gilbert was there to thank all his generous gear companies who keep him rocking with style: Marshall, Ibanez, DiMarzio, Ernie Ball, Dunlop, TC Electronic, Majik Box, and Empress Effects. You can read more about Paul Gilbert at NAMM here. 

Nathan East had a great turnout for his appearance at the TC Electronic booth, here he is performing Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke" using the Ditto Looper.

Later he was inducted into the NAMM TEC Awards Hall of Fame, a great honor. 

Luis Conte was in the house band on percussion for the TEC Awards, here he is warming up at the rehearsal. 

We found Scott Law hanging out at the Santa Cruz Guitar Company booth, here he is pictured in front of his signature model, the D Law guitar.

Hugh Sung, the new piano instructor at ArtistWorks, spent some time trying out some of the different pianos. He's written a great blog about NAMM from a pianist's perspective, click here to read more. 

ArtistWorks Vocal Instructor Jeannie Deva was also at NAMM. She'll be field testing the new line of MICS from ElectroVoice prior to their release to the public at next year's NAMM 2016. 

Our fingerstyle guitar instructor, Martin Taylor was also at NAMM on Thursday, here he is with Jeannie. 

DJ Qbert performed as Invisibl Skratch Piklz with D-Styles and Shortkut at the Pioneer DJ booth, it's always a treat to see these guys skratching together.  

Speaking of skratching, the new TRX mixer that Qbert designed with DJ Tech Pro was on display looking nice and shiny. 

All in all, it was another great NAMM Show filled with amazing musicians and exciting new innovative products. If you ever have a chance to attend NAMM, do it - there's nothing like it. 

Until next time, remember - believe in music!
