Here's a catalogue of the
equipment I use. Visit the
Useful Links
section to easily access
manufacturers' web sites. Also, visit the list of |
|
My Preferred Suppliers.
These guys have been invaluable in supplying the tools needed to create
my perfect studio. From my experience, |
|
these guys have not only
supplied top quality brand products at superb value
prices, but also delivered a reliable and excellent service. |
| |
|
Also included is a list of
My Influences. This should go someway to understanding my choice
of gear. Of course, this is shaped by my |
|
endless search for that all important tone; a lifelong preoccupation
that's both fun and rewarding. Particularly gratifying is when you |
|
realise you've achieved about as close as you're gonna get to the
tone that Jimmy, Pete, Eric... et al. defined on the original recording. |
| |
|
Most of all, I hope you
enjoy playing music as much as I do. Celebrating 40 years of playing
rhythm guitar (as of 2009), it's truly
a great |
|
privilege to have witnessed firsthand the music of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Sure,
it's a cliché, but... those were the days! |
