Tell us about your involvement with the Melbourne Guitar Show.
King Of The North are doing a live show on Saturday at 3pm and I will be launching my new pedal, the 3 From 1 pedal. To create this system for KOTN shows previous, I had modified some pedals, created another and synced up others with two guitar amps and a bass amp. I’ve now (with some professional help) condensed this into one pedal. I still run the same amp set up but this will be the first show with the prototype pedal. Pretty exciting.
How long have you had a love affair with the guitar?
A long time. I started playing at 15 or 16, but earlier I used to paint and draw guitarists, mainly Jimi Hendrix. I just thought he was the coolest looking dude ever and he was great for all types of art.
You’ve written and recorded many songs, what’s been one of your favourite guitar licks and why?
It will vary. Wanted is an effective and easy one. At the end of the day the one riff that gets the crowd rocking is good enough for me.
What drives you to challenge your playing style? Playing inspiration?
To be honest the set up I’ve created for myself in the 3 From 1 guitar technique. There are distinct pedal sequences or orders and if I forget which way one particular song goes, it can go wrong.
