Hi there,

Started playing guitar way back when I was 10 years old and my dad built his first guitar. Strange really cos he is a sax player. I guess saxophones are really hard to make. Anyway, it looked good when it was finished then he realized he didn't know how to play guitar and couldn't really test it out. So, he picked up G,C, and F which being a good dad he passed on to me..I just carried on from there and I've been playin now for 40 years.
For years I played bass in my dad's jazz band but when I play guitar I love reggae and African soukous style guitar.
Here's a wee pic of my guitars/basses.
Oh, and I play them all through a Bose L1 system which I think is amazin for what I'm doing. ( small bars and restaurants, pool parties...).

Gordon.
