I'm a solid guitarist who loves chords and rhythm.

I'll do anything. But I get very bored in a raeggae band. (I'm just doing up beats and no melody)

Although, I am conditioned by my age and background.

Which is 50+ and white english/irish.

Currently: I like, prog rock like Steven Wilson and porcupine tree.

This was the last song I enjoyed.

I love a tight well done pop song. So many to talk about and forget.

The Police where a thing for me when I was growing up. The raw era, regatta de blanc (was more about the drummer for me then, still is) It's a hihat thing.

All of the grunge, mainly nirvana, alice in chains, pearljam

Black hole sun didn't make a whole band interesting, was just brilliant.

before that period, my friends (the cool people) where older so it was pink floyd, the specials, jam, led zep, Bowie and more.

It's countless the number of bands I've heard live.

I had a Jazz perioid, learnt me some new inverseions of the same stuff and some cruel turnarounds.

I played in a church choir as a child, they ruined the blues and country out of me.

They made that musical structure PTSD.

For some reason, you can only get the blues out of me when a deviant harmonica player takes his favourite harp out. Then I will play like I'm born in the swamps of mississippi.

Sus something and no resolution from now on.

There are no plagal endings.

Damn the theory.
