Sabrina actor Ross Lynch tells us how it all started and why he has a guitar that literally plays like butter
The moment it all started…
“My brothers got into Fall Out Boy and they started playing guitar, being the younger brother I also wanted to participate. I was about 11. I really became serious about the guitar when I was around 15 or 16, after we had already been playing for quite a while. I found a new fascination for the guitar and actually became quite obsessed with it when I discovered certain guitarists like Stevie Ray Vaughan. Actually John Mayer was the person, the guitarist that sort of led me to discover more great guitarists.”
I couldn’t live without my…
“I have an acoustic Taylor that I call Butter, that is without a doubt my favourite guitar. I pretty much play it every time I’m home, and uh, that’s gotta be it. I just love that guitar.”

“Oh yeah, Rocky and I were borrowing a Telecaster and a Gibson with real ivory tuning pegs. It was like a 90s Gibson SG and we were loading our van for a gig – we were like 13 – we were going to a fair to play some random gig. The guitar wasn’t even ours, it was a borrowed guitar, and someone came and stole it off of our front yard. Yeah, that was a big ordeal. It was kinda shitty ’cause it was a borrowed guitar.”
My signature model…
“Honestly, if I were to have a signature guitar, I’d want it to be a whole new body. Something unique and different that’s never really been seen before. I think that’d be fun.”
The first thing I play when I pick up a guitar…
“I usually just try to make something up.”
The best advice I’ve ever been given…
“I actually don’t really have a lot of guitar mentors… I just play!”

My guilty pleasure…

“Freakin’ Woodstock for sure!”
The most important thing on my rider…
“Honestly, we’ve been touring for a while now, I don’t even add anything to the rider. I just let the rest of the band do it. I guess I would have to say keto, um, chocolate cups. They’re like these… Imagine like Reese’s, but they’re keto. So good.”
If I could just play one thing…
“No, I can pretty much play anything, if I’m being honest.”
