About Carl

Experienced Rock / Metal Guitarist

A shred/metal guitarist of seventeen years experience, I have played and gigged with various bands from classic rock cover bands to Melodic Metal and anything in between, including session work. I play six string, seven string and acoustic guitars as well as bass guitar and basic piano.

Whilst a strong lead guitarist with a keen sense for music theory, I always emphasise a strong "back to basics" ethos with practicing rhythm guitar and returning to basic practice routines every now and again. I have guitar books and magazines from ten years ago I still return to today!

I currently use Solar, Ibanez and Sub Zero guitars, a Line 6 Helix LT, D'Addario strings
