I've sometimes been asked if I had an album available - and I didn't. Until now!! For more info see the start of the video. There are also links to the various download stores on my website at www.lescheetham.com

All of the tunes are played on a fantastic McIlroy A25 guitar.

Thanks for watching.

  • Hi Les. Love your playing and tone

    I've got the exact same model McIlroy as you have and I love the tone of this instrument. I have experimented with a range of strings for this guitar and I am currently amplifying it through a fishman infinity pick up through an AER Compact 60 amp. What are your preferences in strings and amplification?

  • Hello Bryn, I also use the AER Compact 60. I actually bought it pre McIlroy, but they sound great together. Had it been available at the time I probably would have tried the Fishman Infinity pickup (I bought the LR Baggs as I wanted a volume control). Strings wise it's Dean Markley Alchemy GoldPhos (12 - 54 gauge). They look radioactive, but never snap and last for ages! Cheers,  Les.

  • nice....i was wondering what kind of guitar you are playing...i really like the bottom end...really nice sustain...keep up the good work. i enjoy it.

  • Thanks for your comment! The guitar is a McIlroy A25, made in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. They're fantastic guitars - well worth seeking out.

  • what are you guitar main open tunings ?

  • The two main tunings are DGDGAD (basically DADGAD with the A string taken down a tone) ane EADEAE. I always seem to go for natural tunings (no major or minor 3rd)
