John Tate
I'm a blues based guitar player who grew out of the '70's and '80's. The power and simplicity of Ace Frehley and Mick Mars, mixed with a touch of Stevie Ray Vaughan is what my playing most closely resembles. I am known as "The Canadian Ace" in Kiss fan and tribute band circles and it's a title that I'm really very proud of !!! I'm currently using Gibson, Orville and Fender guitars with Traynor and Crate amplification. Audio-Technica, Boss, DigiTech and Dunlop processing.
