Euan McCall

Almost a decade since picking up the instrument Euan McCall has honed his skills as a musician and as a guitarist. He has been playing in the local gigging scene for many years in original as well as function outfits and is equally at home in the studio as well as performing live.His listening habits (which are very diverse) reflect his ability on the instrument. Having a love for anything guitar based or musically complex he has been practising his chops for the best part of this decade long musical endeavour. This said Euan tends to get the band working as one unit instead of a collection of musicians playing their instruments. He is very much the guitar slinging sideman, focussing more on the music as a whole.Euan has gigged all over mainland Scotland and England as lead guitarist in the band Taylor Kayne playing many open air festivals, pub gigs and shows on a grander scale. Euans current band are putting a set of covers together spanning many genres, everything from Latin and Pop to Rock and Motown. He is also open to any offers for Depping work.Although Euan tends to play live more often than he is in the studio his recorded work is just as high calibre as high live performances, he tends to prefer the creative element that there is in a studio environment. As far as session work is concerned Euan is open to all offers. He is fluent in most styles.As well as teaching locally Euan has also recorded and produced many local bands CD’s“I started playing guitar at the age of 10 on the worst guitar in the universe. It was a Westfield Stratocaster copy which had the highest action in the world!!! It was more like playing piano than guitar. I then started playing in bands from the off really, playing mostly rock music. I then discovered Funk and Soul music and fell in love. As my listening habits became wider I was discovering more virtuoso players. I then found Jazz musicians like Coltrane and Davis as well as Jaco Pastorius and Pat Metheny and this blew my mind and gave me the drive and inspiration. My main musical direction is Rock and Funk as well as a little Fusion but I will listen to anything with a good melody and harmony. I also try to play as much musical styles as possible. Lets just say my musical journey has just begun.”Just email Euan with any questions
