Back in 1971, when I re-formed my band back in England, having worked for
about 3 years mostly in France and Germany with "John Walden Workshop", we went
PROGRESSIVE..
It was too loud!
Bass guitar, and 2 regular guitars each playing through 200 Watt tube amps,
with stacks of speaker cabinets.
At the time I had a 100 watt amp with just a couple of 2 x 12" cabinets, set
ahead of me on stage to reduce feedback.
I still couldn't hear what I was playing!
It was not fun.
So I decided to stop working electric and started to work with an acoustic
guitarist in a duo instead.รข
HEAVEN!
Over the years since then I've worked with everything from a duo to a 35
piece orchestra.
It is always better when it isn't too loud!
