Solid if unremarkable guitarist; I make a good rhythm section and provide accompaniment for a solo vocalist, but don't expect me to shred a solo.
Although these days I play guitar more often than not I still actually consider myself first and foremost a bassist; I can thump away at the root note if needed, but I much prefer a more melodic style of playing.
Also known to play percussion, four-to-the-floor drums, and stab at the keys. If my life depended on it I can also get a tune out of a trumpet, but I'm *very* rusty.

EQUIPMENT
Ibanez and Ashton acoustics, beat-up Squier Strat, and Yamaha RBX bass. I prefer to use amp modelling and DI straight into a PA than use backline, but I have a selection of amps if needed.
Also have mixing desk, 2x LD Maui line arrays, selection of mics and stands, a couple of LED PARs, etc.
