Played in several bands in the 80's and 90's all over the place. I played solo acoustic for a little.Have you performed in front of an audience?Playing live would be great, any gigs you want me at?
Your musical influences
Many and various, Hedges, Martyn, Zepplin, Dylan, Cash, Skynyryd Cooder,Clapton Pierre Bensusan, Pink Floyd anyone with tricks to pass on.What equipment do you use?
Various guitars, 1x twin neck washburn, 1x ovation, 2x yamaha's, 1x oakfield (handmade), 1X takamine, 1x martin 12 string, 4 Tacomas and a Naga, fender strat electric, godin sd xt, steinberger 6 string and a PRS Santana and a Mandolin. I use an aa soundcraft amp (handbuilt in germany)and a trace elliot acoustic amp through a zoom 505, yamaha guitar processor (old but what a metal sound) and korg g3 effects pedal. I have now built up a recording setup on the computer using Cakewalk sonar 3 producer, various dxi and vst effects, through a beringer mixing desk and using a Yamaha FX 500 effects modual. I Have just got a guitar synth (wow).I have used many types of strings but I use martin sp's and elixer at the moment. I like martin sp's over elixer, they are sharper on the electrics I use fender bullets, steinberger double balls.Anything else?
