I reside in the lovely countryside of Leicestershire.
My musical ambition is to rid the world of autotune.Cher can still use it though.
My favourite piece of gear would be my bramd spanking new Gibson 335 : )

Current favourite is Curtis Mayfield- Pusherman

Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
XR18 digital desk, this thing is just mind blowing for the money.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Say Something - A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera
Not because its a particularly great track but because its the first thing I ever performed in public.
Q1: Where did you username come from?
It's quite obscure in other communities I'm a part of, but I should think it's fairly obvious to this group! I chose the Ionian mode as a name back when the internet was young and people used a Netscape browser. It's stuck with me ever since.
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
I'm in Kent, UK
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
I am fortunate - I have achieved my musical ambitions. I studied music at university and have worked in the industry for the last twenty years in various support roles. I have booked music for film scores, I have supported some of the best orchestral musicians in the UK, I have been a part of the London jazz scene and I am now working on music education strategy. If I have unfulfilled ambitions, they revolve around getting up the confidence to play again.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
Meh - I've just bought a Jackson Dinky Pro as I need to impress the kids with my guitar until I can impress them with my musical chops. The rest of my gear dates from the 90s and the budget I had as a student.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Impossible to answer. But if I was to say what guitar track has had the most influence on my playing, I would have to say "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd. As a new guitarist aged 13 I would watch the Pulse tour video and play along with Dave Gilmour - even learning to pull the same gurning faces when I bent a string!

Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
if i had to pick one, i will go with Kashmir the version with Oriental Orchestra. Its a master piece :-)
Fast forward 25 years, I'm now 51 and have started to learn again, this time properly. I have been playing since October and my initial progress has been surprisingly quick, but I don't expect an easy ride. I spent the first couple of months learning on the acoustic before adding an Epiphone SG G400 Pro to my armory. I try and get an hour and a halfs practice in every day in the hope that it will all stick!
Thanks for reading.

I wish I has an interesting story attached to it. Truth is, I spotted it on the side of a Plumbers van and thought, 'That rolls off the tongue nicely'.

Q1: Where did you username come from?
It's from my personal domain/site that I used to work on heavily many years ago but now don't (I won't link to it as it could be seen as spamming)
Q2: Where in the world/country are you?
East Midlands, UK
Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
Hmm not sure I have any left! I started early and was in bands from 15. I let the guitar slide a bit in my 20s (I still played, just wasn't in gigging bands). Probably want to resume solo gigs or band work.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
Not sure about best, but my early 90s LP Studio which I got for my 18th is my most treasured one. Doesn't look so good any more and it's not worth a lot, but still sounds awesome and I never have to adjust my playing to it - I just can always reach for a full tone bend no issue.
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Guh, can't think of anything not cheesy. I think hearing the Beano album really changed the kind of snarling tone I wanted and made me want to add a lot more character to my playing. It always depressed me as a young man to hear Clapton playing in such a hackneyed way later in his career when he was this ferocious bluesman early on.
Made me buy a bluesbreaker mk1 for £54 (my first pedal) which I've also still got.
