My amp is a Mark I Mesa Boogie, 71 model, 1-12" JBL. No middle range, this gives me that bite I like. I use a crybaby wah-wah, late 60's model, I've had for years.
I use Fender Strat Guitars due to the fact that I have to reach to get what I'm looking for , so a Strat is perfect for me.The Strat and the single coil pick-ups is what I like best. I'm a versatile player found at many gigs playing many instruments such as:
Lead Guitar/Keyboards/Bass/Drums/1929 Gibson acoustic guitar/HarmonicaAnything else?

describes Rudy T as "A dynamic guitarist that captures the essence of music and gives it to the crowd as the gift that it is". "Irrespect all styles of music. Artists who can be themselves and have
something to say. It comes through to the audience". He adds, "like Stevie Ray or Hendrix. They had something to say and boy did they say it".
describes Rudy T as: "This artist has a lot to offer as a outstanding, dynamic, one of a kind lead guitar player, entertainer, and songwriter. Rudy T strives to get his words, heart and soul mixed with his gutsy guitar licks to come out in all of his songs.
Kevin Enright: 4/2000
Shorelines describes:
"Rudy T's Band held the room totally in thrall. For all fans of the blues, this is your first chance in a long time to enjoy it on the local scene."
"In his long career he has been called on to perform various styles, but the blues and Stevie Ray Vaughn personally are his greatest influence and strongest drive."
"Rudy T doesn't just play the guitar, he eats it, he steps on it, he plays behind his back , he turns it into a bass, and I think he used it once for a piano. He is first and foremost a musician but oh, the tricks he can play and the work he makes his guitar perform. He must re-string after every evening."
Wanda Ray Reid
2/2000 Shorelines describes: "Rudy T plays and sings blues and rock and is skilled on guitar, harmonica and other instruments. He is tabbed as one of the Ten Top guitarists in the U.S. Rudy T was the Top Attraction at the Merlin's House of Blues in Bullhead City AZ, after seeing his performance I can understand."
