guitars vary but I play Strat, Lp, Tele as well as few assorted oddballs.
It not what you play so much as how you use it.
Dell, AMD and Intel. Adata, OCZ, Asus and Gigabyte too.
Thanks to CoolIT systems for their Freezezone.

Musical Influences:
Most anyone who has something to say and says it tastefully or
if it just flat out kicks or stands out in some extraordinary way...
I'm a fan of alot of players-like many of you spent a great deal of time listening-learning-jammin along when I a teen. I prefer rock but I go thru jazz-classical and blues phases. Overall one could say I like almost all styles of music._________
Kiss
Holdsworth
In the JL Ponty/UK/Bruford days
nobody had tone or played like him.
These are my fav years from him.
Of noted interest is hearing his growth span from the Gong & SoftMachine days to the B'ford era.
