Pat Fleming


General Info : Pat Fleming has been making music for over 25 years just for the love of music. Always a guitarist, but recently added vocals out of necessity of not having a band at this point. He started playing guitar at 15 years old and never looked back. In the last four years he has become much more serious about his music and have been basically living in a studio since. He was influenced by all music but being a guitarist it's all about Stevie Ray and of course his idol Jimmy Hendrix. Guitar was not an instrument but part of their body that was attached to the soul... an awesome thing to see and hear!

Guitar : I have many guitars.. I collect them. Some of my favorites are my 1981 Gibson Les Paul Custom for heavy rock and blistering leads. This axe is a real show stopper. It's not much heavier than my Gibson Les Paul and it sounds and plays great. To be honest I bought it just because it would add some eye candy to my collection. But I've already recorded and played live with it is quickly becoming a favorite. Having the option to switch from 6 to 12 strings is a great convenience when playing live., I love the punch of my odd duck Fender Toronado with it's P90 pick-ups. Another favorite is my Rick 360... it has that old fashion rock and roll jangle!

Amplifier : I'm partial to Marshall but also own Fender amps. My dream amp is a British made VOX AC30... next on my list.

Effects : Love all Line 6 products... just great!. For recording I use BOSS.

Remarks : I like to do originals... I want to leave my mark however small that is. I'm a guitarist at heart... vocals/lyrics are secondary for me. When I hear a song for the first time I hear the music and then later listen to the words afterwards. I like all kinds of music and musicians... I think they are some of the most creative people in the world. They lay bare their soul for the world to see... and when works it's a wonderful thing!
