Been playing on and off for 40 years. Working on getting back into playing shape now and wanting to eventually find some folks who want to play progressive blues-rock for the fun of it.

This channel is all about a little Jam night held once a week in a small pub located in North Wales UK. It's an open mic setup with a killer house band. Some folks get up and sit in with the band and other get up and do there own solo thing.
On this SC channel you will find highlights from the weekly jams that take place every Thursday. It's all about having fun and enjoying music and hopefully that will come across in these recordings.
Enjoy..

 This  is a group of songs I've been working on at my home studio. None are really finished they are really works in progress.&#13;
I believe the guitar is one of the most beautiful instruments and try to fully express myself emotionally in all these pieces. I play my 98 Custom Shop Fender Stratocaster with Dimarzio pickups/ customized Floyd Rose whammy and other mods on most of these tracks.&#13;
 Other equipment I use is :&#13;
Washburn g2-V Electric&#13;
Acrylic flying v electric&#13;
Alvarez Electric/acoustic&#13;
Johnson Electric 4 string Bass&#13;
Morley Bad Horsey and DOD wah wah&#13;
100 watt Marshall G100R with avt 412 cab&#13;
Marshall  Mg 50dfx Amp&#13;
Fender FM65 amp&#13;
Boss Me-70 effects processor&#13;
Art Sge with x-11 controller&#13;
More recent bass parts I play with a Johnson 4 string run direct. Older works the bass parts were done on 6 string guitar octaved down to sound like a bass&#13;
Musicstar Midi Keyboard controller&#13;
Most recordings for this this year Drums are done by my friend Carlo Presti aka spiderdrum and played and recorded live at his home.&#13;
Most of the Artwork is created by my lovely wife <b>"LJ"&#13;
</b>I've played in many bands over the years.&#13;
Both in the studio and on the road.&#13;
( I did do 1 movie soundtrack in La many years ago and some session work) but for the last few I have mainly been concentrating on writing and recording guitar instrumental music. I took a very LONG break from the music business until recently.&#13;
I use multiple programs for recording/mastering,(only guitars) Such as Sonar 4 producer/ sonar x1 ,Audacity,adobe Soundbooth&#13;
My influences are: Joe Satriani, EVH, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Buckethead, and any other innovating guitarist I've ever heard. I love all GUITARIST's :) and listen to ALL. &#13;
  My real name is not important only the music!   Just call me XY :))         <b>~Xy</b>
