I'm a classic rock guitar player turned fingerstyle, mainly by Leo Kottke. After digesting literally his entire library of compositions, I found Michael Hedges, which then lead me to all of the Candyrat artists. I've been drawn in ever since, and my "dream" is to get signed by Candyrat Records.

GUITARS:
-----------------------
2004 Epiphone PR Acoustic

2005 Fender Squire Strat

2006 Epiphone Les Paul

2001 Epiphone Explorer

circa 1988 Fender 12-string

2008 Lucero Classical

2003 Taylor 110-E-GB
---------------------------
I record using Acid Pro 6.
I use John Pearse strings, .012-.053

Nice Andrew White guitar in your channel background. That's the one Andy used to use... it's one of the most beautiful sounding guitars in existence, IMO. Saving up for one? ;)
