Q1: Where did you username come from?
It's my name. Well, mostly.

Just to actually learn to play the guitar to a level that I can enjoy at home in the bedroom (preferably without annoying anyone, honest ).
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
Probably the G&L Legacy Tribute that I picked up for a stupidly low price and never seems to go out of tune no matter how long I leave it lying around.

Hmm, probably Wasted Years by Iron Maiden. Always seems to be the one which comes to mind.

Seriously, no idea and never been able to answer that question !
I'm Joe Boult, hence the username, I'm a session guitarist based in the south of the UK, born and raised up North in Burnley.
My main ambition is to make enough money to do music full time, whether as a YouTuber, teacher, session guy, or any combination really. My main weapon is my 2016 HSH Fender Strat, which I absolutely cannot live without. Love all my gear and guitars, but that strat is too versatile to not love.
Favourite track... Tricky... It changes all the time, but right now Georgy Porgy by Toto. Especially the live version. The stabs just get me every time.
See youse about!
