MICHAEL WATTS - EARLY INFLUENCES

[@coreymihailiuk5189]

We definitely share some of the same influences in the steel string world. I would agree that Renbourns right hand technique has kept me on my toes since first hearing him back in the 1970's!

Delighted that you mentioned Isaac Guillory !! What a fine musician, singer and songwriter - and above all a really giving gentleman. We are the lesser without him. It was Isaac who convinced me that I needed a wider fretboard and sent me off to seek out 12 fretters!

He was a hero, mentor and friend and you’re quite right, he is very much missed.

@@MichaelWatts Michael: I only discovered you recently and am enjoying your content. I saw Pierre Bensusan at The Half Moon, Putney, in 2010 - he is an extraordinary musician. By the way - I recognise Phil Taylor as a fellow owner of the wonderful guitars made by Brook who are based in deepest, darkest Devon.
