Influences
I have quite a diverse range of influences, I enjoy popular music such as Stevie wonder, Jay-z and John Legend.
In terms of guitarists, I listen to John scofield, Mike Stern and Wayne Krantz, though I appreciate blues players such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, bebop playes such as Charlie Christian, and funk players such as Jeff Tamelier.
I also enjoy bands such as Lettuce, Tower of Power, Led Zeppelin, The Mars Volta and Jamiroquai.
EQUIPMENT
I use a Fender Stratocaster for my electric guitar, which I play through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amplifier.
I also have a pedalboard with about 10 individual pedals, (including cry baby wah, Boss DD-20 delay, and a Tubescreamer), though it varies on the material being played as to what pedals I use. My acoustic guitar is a Martin DCX1KE.
