How old are you (range)?
36

How long have you been playing guitar (range)?
22 years

What style(s) do you play?
rock, praise & worship

Do you play other instruments? Which ones?
I can fake it a bit on keys & bass

Are you in a band (or have you been)?
Played full-time with a band in the 90's
These days I mostly play in church.

Do you play (or have you ever played) professionally (full time)?
I guess I do now...My full-time job is to lead music @ church, so I've got a weekly "gig" with an audience of 700 or so. I used to play with a band in high-school/college that released several albums and toured quite a bit...we got paid, but not much wink

If so, at what level (clubs, concerts in support of a major label release, etc)?
youth functions, colleges, festivals, opened for Geoff Moore once

At what level do you primarily gig now (large concerts, corporate events\festivals, clubs, weddings, bar mitzvahs, house parties)?
Church weekly with about 700 or so in attendance.

How often do you play live?
Weekly

Do you record with your Eleven Rack?
I'd love to but haven't had time. I used to run a studio (back in ADAT days)

If so, do you record covers & or originals?
I would record both.

Have you ever used your Eleven Rack out at a live gig?
Been using it weekly for the past 5 months or so. Replaced a Budda SD30.

If so, how did it sound & work for you?
Been going good, I've even weaned myself off most my pedals...but I WISH WISH WISH that the 11R could send tuner info via MIDI...for my set-up I lose the benefit of all the stage clutter.

What are your other favorite hobbies besides music & guitar playing?
Ride my bike to work each day, dream of golf (don't have time/money to play anymore) and hanging with my family.

Am I married?
Yes

How old are you (range)?
Early 30's, going on 18.

How long have you been playing guitar (range)?
About 20 years, but very much on and off. There have been periods of 4-5 years when I have barely touched a guitar. I am only just getting really serious about my playing.

What style(s) do you play?
Metal, 70's hard rock, classic rock, blues, fingerstyle country blues and fingerpicking in general (I basically learned to play the guitar by playing old Black Sabbath songs and Eric Clapton's Unplugged album).

Do you play other instruments? Which ones?
Not really. Since I know the notes I can sort of fake a 4/4 or 6/8 bassline if I'm forced to, but I can't play anything fancy.

Are you in a band (or have you been)?
Nope. I rehearsed with a couple of guys for a few weeks in college, but the other guitarist and the drummer were total beginners, and me and the bassist/vocalist were a bit more experienced. We ended up mostly playing really boring (to me) songs where all I did was bang out power chords. Nirvana, Green Day, The Offspring, things like that. When we occasionally did play something like "One" by Metallica I had to do all the hard parts, and I wasn't really good enough for that. xD

Do you play (or have you ever played) professionally (full time)?
Nope. Never wanted to either. I only play because I think it's fun, and I wouldn't want to ruin that by having to play things that other people like.

If so, at what level (clubs, concerts in support of a major label release, etc)?
N/A

At what level do you primarily gig now (large concerts, corporate events\festivals, clubs, weddings, bar mitzvahs, house parties)?
N/A

How often do you play live?
N/A

Well......not full time. I used to make a pretty large portion of my income with my instrument, but I still held a day job.

Mostly clubs, openings, some festivals, etc. Open mics with friends, that kind of thing now.

Both

Have you ever used your Eleven Rack out at a live gig?
Yes. I actually bought a second 11R so that I could leave one permanently in the studio.

If so, how did it sound & work for you?
I works great! I can run the 11R through FOH, get a good in ear monitor mix, and also through a powered speaker for on stage monitor.

What are your other favorite hobbies besides music & guitar playing?
Horses. I've had horses most all of my life since I was 2 (granddad was a horse trainer as well as a big band drummer).

Optional Q: Married, single etc...etc....etc...
Married - Three kids - Five grand kids - 5 horses - 2 cats
