On the subject of contemporary rock, with a classic influence, I'd highly recommend Rival Sons.

I took it down to Cornwall last week strapped to the pillion seat, just over 300 miles each way  :D

Cheers

I like the Ernie balls myself, have moved over to daddario recently though as they were recommended to me by a good mate (and I think the 3 packs worked out cheaper - not sure), either way, no discernible major difference in tone to my ear, so its fine by me :)

No, I have a copy of his "Acoustic Guitar Bible" though.

Yes he is missed.

Saw Will Killeen again last night. If there's one guitarist likely to make me want to start picking mine up again, it's him. Mind blowing!

Will Killeen - plug, plug, plug, plug, plug.  ;)
