NAMM REFLECTIONS

July 20, 2017October 17, 2017 ~ colinpoultoncolinpoulton ~ Leave a comment

Hey all! I'm back in the swing of things Post-NAMM. Big thanks to Behind the Setlist and my editors Kevin Carr and Jessica Dawson for their input, assistance, and for generally making me look like a better writer than I am. NAMM was an absolute blast and I made several great connections and met people … Continue reading NAMM REFLECTIONS

RECENT GOINGS ON

Hey there! This blog has been suspiciously dead of late and it's high time for an update on what's been going on the past few months. A few months ago, I linked up with an online publication called Behind the Setlist and I am going to be the feet on the ground over at Summer … Continue reading RECENT GOINGS ON

REST IN POWER, CHUCK BERRY

March 19, 2017July 30, 2017 ~ colinpoultoncolinpoulton ~ Leave a comment

We lost a true hero of the instrument yesterday. Before I go too much further, today (3/18) is also the anniversary of Randy Rhoads's unfortunately departure from the mortal coil, so watch this and spin Blizzard of Ozz or Diary of a Madman after you spend some time with Chuck. Anyways, I had just finished … Continue reading REST IN POWER, CHUCK BERRY

Happy Father’s Day to the man himself!! Love you dad @poultondad

Finally got a moment to sit down with my new @takamineguitars EF341SC and get a clip for y’all! This thing sounds awesome. Shoutout to @elixir_strings for the strings and @walkerandwilliams for the strap! Enjoy some Grateful Dead.

Only in Nashville do you get to do things like balance practicing medleys to tracks for a private event band one day and learning Anthrax stuff for a showcase the next. Come see me thrash around on the 18th!

I went to WV the earlier this week and was tasked with carrying a hotdog from across the river in Maryland back to WV for @kels0kel’s grandmother and this ended up being one of the only pictures I took the whole trip 🤷‍♂️

I really can’t say enough about @elixir_strings and their Optiweb line. I did some math and got about 76 real world gigging hours out of one set of strings that didn’t lose any tone from when I put them on before breaking one compared to previous brands where I’ve rusted strings an hour into a four hour gig! I’m a heavy handed player who bends strings a lot so my most common reason for a string change is breakage and not the strings sounding dead. These are strings you can count on to sound great consistently.

I’ve played 152 shows between Broadway and elsewhere so far this year. Here’s the next few! All the love to the companies that help me sound good and keep folks hiring me: @black35guitars @avedissianpickups @elixir_strings @backboneguitarproducts
