Eric Takacs
I am currently a solo artist doing all writing, performing, and recording by myself in my home studio.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I have been playing guitar as a hobby for approximately 24 years.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I am currently not playing live, but hope to in the near future.
Your musical influences
I listen to a wide variety of styles of music, but mainly rock, metal, jazz, and jazz/rock fusion. I also listen to some classical, country, blues, Hungarian Gypsy. My main influences/heroes on guitar are Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, Scott Henderson, Allan Holdsworth, Shawn Lane, Buck Dharma, and Jimmy Page.
What equipment do you use?
Main guitars are a Steinberger GR4, and a Roman Quicksilver with Piezo pickups and MIDI converter for guitar synth. I also use 3 different Harper Guitars models, a Epiphone Flamekat, and a Line 6 Variax 500. For amplification I use a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and a Line 6 PODxt Live.
