I Have played guitar for a long time! I spent most of my time as a musician playing guitar for musicians / Bands,with their material, a great experience but,... never pursuing or seeming to have time to pursue what I really wanted to do which was to get back to my roots, playing blues in the style that I now do. At last! This is a beginning!
Gear wise; Fender Strat, More Strat and yet more Strat love them! All the sounds you could ever wish for, it breathes! A lot of folk ask : "Do you use the wammy bar for vibrato.. ? " NO ! never. ,.. its a standard trem.. .. it sits flat on the body, with tight springs so it only go's down ! I may use it to wobble a 9th chord at the end of a song , but thats it. ! Bless it !
Marshall Amp with 6L6 valves, JMP , Tube Screamer, Jim Dunlop crybaby wah. Alesis Quadraverb.

"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."
"There was my name up in lights. I said, 'God, somebody's made a mistake.' But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, 'Remember, you're not a star.' Yet there it was up in lights."
