Steer Jr


I've been spending time with my Les Paul Jr due to Bill Steer. Many of us know him for his remarkable Carcass materials but he's also that heavy blues rock guy who is not all shred & grind. FYI, Steer's other band, Firebird, is now defunct but the releases had an impact on me. It taught me to observe restraint & deliver the music according to planned structures, not just bent on chaos & anger. Also, Steer, together with Holdsworth, showed what a single pickup guitar could do & this re-inforces my belief that pickup choices are definitely personal. 

Subtle difference, if you notice at all. Have a good weekend, everyone.
