About JohnnyFriendly
Welcome to the world of JohnnyFriendly
On this site, I post videos of me performing my own original instrumentals, improvs and assorted sonic experiments. My influences tend to be along the lines of '50s R&B, Rockabilly, Surf, '60s Garage Punk , finger-stylings, Americana etc though I'm not necessarily trying to play these kinds of music. They're only really an influence/starting point. I'm more interested in doing things my own way.
Equipment-wise, it's the unholy trinity of Gretsch, Danelectro and Telecaster guitars, through various Voxes and boutique Fender blackface clones.
There is an album of these monstrosities and you can find it on http://www.redhookboppers.com/. You can stream the mp3s for free. All tracks are originals and non of them appear on YouTube.
