Some more about my music.
So when I picked up a guitar again, I spent some time playing around with tape units and dubbing tracks before I realised what SEQUENCERS were !

For those who dont know, simply, they allow you to add instuments over the top of each other thus building up a composition to a point where it becomes a final musical 'take'.

I bought my first sequencer, Sound Studio with a midi key-board and have never looked back!
Whilst I have l looked at other sequencers, like Cubase, I am still very happy with my SOUND STUDIO PROII by Evolution Audio as they are very similar in many ways and there is plenty for me to learn as it is, without finding myself spending more time on how to drive these software creations than doing what I like best...playing with music.

The tracks that you will find on my next page are all experiments using different methods and areas that are within the software and I know that I still have barely touched on the scope that is available.
Below is a list of the kit I use:-

to see a short video.
•
Applause(Ovation) semi accoustic piezo pick-up guitar. Really nice quality build guitar that I use to start building chord sequences. You will hear it later!
•
Epiphone Gibson DOT,  'hollow thin line' semi-accoustic. Again a really nice and probably underated guitar that provides plenty of tonal variation with a very good neck & action........ so I have been told.
•
Gibson Marauder solid electric guitar with custom designed pick-ups. Lots of comments about this guitar and I think that it is GREAT!
•
Evolution Sound Studio ProII Sequencing Software.
•
Midi Key-Board, where I can create almost every sound in an orchestra and more!  For example, I build my drums sequences using the key-board.
•
Zoom 505II effects stomp box, all the effects that I need and more!
•
Ross Head-phones, pretty old now but still give me what I want.
•
Trusty microphones, also not in any way new. Tried radio mikes but get fed up with batteries !
•
Most recent purchase, a VOX AC4TV little valve amp. Really good....has all the power that I can use in the home, and just has such a nice live sound.
•
Creative Extigy USB sound card that I swop between Desktop or Laptop and allows simultaneous playback whilst recording over.
So, its on to my SONG EXAMPLES and maybe afterwards, you might like to see how that were recorded.
