On the anniversary of Reggie Young's passing, January 17, 2019, Zac Childs pays tribute to him in this episode of Ask Zac. Reggie was more than a great guitarist, he was a great person. Through personal anecdotes, and sharing those of others that Zac has collected, we get a look at Reggie the man. Also in this episode, Zac dissects the intro, verse, and chorus guitar parts of "Drift Away." He also covers Young's gear through the years, and how at heart, Reggie was a bit of a gear minimalist, relying on a 1957 Strat, 1969 Telecaster, BF Deluxe Reverb, and a small pedalboard for much of his career.
