I was about 12 when I got my first guitar (kay accoustic) for christmas...didn't really play it until john canning came along and showed me a couple of tunes...
been playing on and off since... more so now that my son is all grown up :)

As I was born in 1966 and must have started in 1978, I have been trying to play for 34 years :)

think it was thunder but the best one was Pink Floyd at earls court

look forward to hearing some original music and great musicians

having a jam or a collaboration with some musicians

honest comments and constructive criticism

have had a few but this what I use now

peavey rockingham guitar with bigsby
gretsch electromatic with bigsby
Brunswick Auditorium Guitar 12 String Electro
Ibanez Cutaway Nylon String Acoustic-Electric Guitar

zoom g5
ZOOM G2.1U effects pedal
roland micro cube
Stagg 60 Watt Guitar Amp w/Reverb

I have no favourite as they are all different and used for the sound they create

Black Sabbath: Deep Purple: Led Zeppelin: Saxon: Ufo: Original Whitesnake: AcDc etc mostly Rock bands

Update:
now jamming with some great guys from work etc

not in a band :( The shifts I work are through the weekend and as most sessions are done then I would not be able to make it..

hoping to get some proper jamming in 2013 with a couple of guys at work :) watch this space

david gilmour..... because he is alive which is important and is also an amazing guitarist

Deep Purple In Rock.... reason: classic album need I say more..... first heard it when I was a teenager and got lost in the classic Child in Time
