About Me

( I Have played guitar for a long time! I spent most of my time as a musician playing guitar for other musicians with their material, 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 begining!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. Thats it!.......oh Alesis Quadraverb. I play all guitars on the tracks . all are unedited ,"live" as it were, to keep the feel of a live sound and performance, exept "Hypnohop, which was produced by Ed Poole and myself , and ..Late Train. "Texas Flood" (Scott/Davis) from the album of the same name,(copyright SRV 83) is a tribute to Stevie and Double Trouble. Always the source ! I am currently writing new material for a blues soul album, so thats about it ! a new track or two will be added as soon as. Contact me at [email protected], The new track ; .. Late Train ..( Slater 08) added on 1/4/08. ; produced by Ed Poole, who plays bass, keys, drums, . A little instrumental, while Im doing other stuff. hope you..ll enjoy. MS
