ABOUT

Hi Everyone,

Another update: s://./pages/Mike-Welldon-Guitarist/371796372849784

copy and paste and that will bring you to some recorded video and audio samples.

Basically I'm on here trying to meet up with like-minded individuals to put a project together. I like covers and playing in the bars so that would be a good start. Also, putting out an album and doing live shows of originals is ultimately what I would be shooting for. Give me a shout with any ideas and I'll do the same. I like working with other guitarists because people have different perspectives and hear things differently and it's always a good thing to work on arrangements with someone else....i think.

Influences

haha...I thought this funny. Influences? Anything that has a guitar from approx. 1957 - 2012.

I'm drawn most to the blues based rocks sound. Zeppelin, Allman brothers, rolling stones (that one might have been obvious)black keys, white stripes, RL Burnside, Junior Kimbaugh, and even AC/DC and Aerosmith because you know what? They took the blues, put in seventies steroids and jack daniels and went to town. Most of what I listen to pre-dates my birthday and I'm perfectly ok with that. I'm not looking to be a shredder and to play a thousand notes per second. I will however try to tear down the motherf#$% house with a good solo.
