Your musical influences
The movement of the acoustic guitar into mainstream music in the mid-eighties inspired me to move from playing electric classic rock and blues to acoustic guitar. Several important acoustic albums served as a model for what I would use as building blocks going forward. These included, Grateful Dead - Reckoning (one of my all time favorites!), Clapton - Unplugged, Paul McCartney - Unplugged. Over time, I became interested in fingerstyle and open tunings. Influential artists included Hot Tuna, Doc Watson, Richard Thompson & Nick Drake. I complemeted my growing interests through private study with Arlen Roth, Woody Mann and Dave Van Ronk. In the last 18 months I have developed a healthy obsession with resonators guitars, open tunings and slide. This in turn has pulled me towards listening to the the classic blues artists such as Rev Gary Davis, Robert Johnson, Skip James, Son House, Charlie Patton, Blind Willie John, Blind Blake, Tampa Red, etc... Meanwhile, in the last 6 months I have begun playing my electrics again after more than 20 years. So far, this has been limited to blues jams at local pubs. I have rediscovered the fun of cranking my les paul through my marshall bbreaker jamming with a full band on tunes from my youth such as "All Your Love", "Stormy Monday", "Pride & Joy", etc...
