Ricky Taylor
Hello all, my name is Ricky Taylor. I am a guitar player/songwriter primarily but play bass, keys, and do programming as well. Here are a few songs for your enjoyment. Feel free to give input! Thanks and take care.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Well, my history is.... I have been playing guitar for 16 years. Started with singing and playing rhythm and moved on from there. Took up lead guitar, bass, keys and sequencing/programming for drums. I have been writing songs since I started playing.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not playing live now. Just relocated to the LA area and am looking for a band currently. Any takers?
Your musical influences
Metallica, Deftones, Type O Negative, Disturbed, Alice In Chains, Korn, all kinds of 80's rock (Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Winger, Dokken, etc.). Recently I have been listening to Coldplay and Gwen Stefani (Believe it or not).
What equipment do you use?
Numerous guitars, ADA MP1 3.666 preamp, Rocktron Intellifex LTD, DOD EQ, BBE Sonic Maximizer, Peavey Stereo Classic 60/60 tube power amp, Randall cabs loaded with Celestion speakers.
Recording: Anything it takes to get a decent sound into and out of my PC.
Anything else?
Like I mentioned.... I am looking for a band in the LA area. Hit me up!
