Henderson was impressed with Gannin enough to welcome himas a private student and it was under his tutelage that Gannin’s playinggrew in leaps and bounds.Over the years, Gannin has recorded and toured the world with known artistsin both the Rock/Pop and Jazz arenas, including Cheap Trick, John Tesh,Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, Jeff Berlin, and Brian Bromberg.When Foo Fighter’s drummer Taylor Hawkins put his own band together ("TaylorHawkins and The Coattail Riders") he chose Gannin to cover the guitar chair.Gannin has also been recording and touring with one of his guitar heroes,Joe Walsh.
