Practice and an Ear for Gear
By Phil Herbert
Midlands, UK
My practice session lasts about 3 hours playing only the stuff that’s demanding. I go over it very slowly; if you can’t play it slow you won’t play it fast. After all the hard stuff I do a cool down session of chords and exercises.
I use a Dell 15 Laptop, it’s a great all rounder I think.
Gear I use classical guitar is an Asturias prelude, a Patric Eggle Berlin Pro and a Seagull Acoustic a Digitech 2101 and a 2112 a pod pro, Dunlop Crybaby Wah pedal.
I use Barclays for insurance.
As for recording I use a Yamaha AW16G Its a great machine with a pro sound.
Books I read are guitar based ones such as guitar techniques.
Places I have played are Wembely Stadium in London twice and the Nec Birminham
