i am Steve Weyman from Bristol England and been playing guitar since I was 9 years of age and doing paid gigs in bands from age 14 playing covers and originals. I am a bit older ( quite a bit older now ! I am not gigging at the moment . I am teaching guitar and concentrating more on writing and recording in m y little home studio. Don't write in a particular style, it comes out how it comes out !Band/artist history
I started playing after my brother taught me a few chords on guitar when i was 9 then progressed from there and started playing in his band at 14 then joined another band at 16 and from then just gigged with various bands. I realised i could sing a bit so started doing more lead vocals as well as lead guitar playing mainly rock and pop and country rock styles and of course blues.Have you performed in front of an audience?played for many years to live audiences some good gigs and some bad ! but mostly good and fun ! some small audiences and some very large audiences like festivals etc nothing like playing live to feel alive !
Your musical influences
my influences early on were Hendrix the Eagles and Mark Knopfler from dire Straits and many more in between. Mark Knopfler is my all time favourite because of his unique finger style.What equipment do you use?
I use Fender Strats and Fender Paramount electro acoustic and Gibson Les Pauls i am now after a good Fender Tele. As im not gigging now for a while i am using Line 6 amps and Boss Me 80 pedals in my home studio. i record my songs on a Boss BR 800 recorder abit limiting as it only has 8 tracks but not bad for demos . I play all guitars and bass and sing all vocals and backing vocals on my tracks.Anything else?
There are a lot of great artists on this site so hope i can do justice to myself on here and think i can learn a lot from them. have had a good start but have to keep writing and recording and learning !READ MORE

This takes me back to 2002 when I saw Paul Rodgers in concert. Kansas was the opening act. Exceptional cover once again my friend. Keep rocking!
Always makes me smile as soon as I hear the intro to this...sounds just like Bad Company!! Enjoying the trip down memory lane! That guitar playing & tone is identical to Mick Ralphs...brilliant stuff.
I still can't believe Mr. Petty is no longer with us. You more than did this song justice. Really like the vocal delivery and that slide guitar is the icing on the cake.
Loved this right from the get-go. Excellent vocals, the guitar has the perfect tone. How you are able to program that drum machine amazes me too.
Congrats on an absolutely fabulous version of this song. I'm amazed you're able to do this...sincerely.
