Rusty Anderson has played with Paul McCartney for over two decades. Not only is he McCartney's go-to lead guitarist on tour – performing alongside fellow six-stringer Brian Ray – but he has also appeared on nearly every McCartney record since 2001.
Before he became McCartney's right-hand man, however, Anderson was in Eulogy, a band with a cult following in LA, and Ednaswap, who wrote and recorded the song that would later become the Natalie Imbruglia hit Torn. So how did Anderson manage to land one of the most highly coveted gigs in rock?
