Sounds Like: Being Dyslexic and ADD (a bad combination), I never know what style I'm going to be in the mood to play next when I'm on a gig (I gave up on set lists years ago) so I usually mix many different styles together including: Blues; Jazz; Brazilian Jazz; Rock; Latin Jazz; Country Rock; and Africian…therefore driving my bandmates (when I have them) insane, especially when I can't even remember what key my original songs are in.I use C.B. Hill "Speedster" guitars about 95% of the time (greatest electric guitars on the planet); A Dale Foye classical guitar; Kirk Sand Electric/Acoustic guitars, EMG Pickups, Tom Short Pickups, 65 Amps; Evans Amps, Louis Electric Amp; Mesa Boogie Amps; Rivera Amps. GHS strings; Moody straps; Lee Jackson Effects; Fulltone Effects; George L's Cables; V-Picks (absolutely the best picks period.)
