Blues-Metal master, Eric Steckel
Eric Steckel's career spans over 20 of his 29 years. Discovered by British Blues legend John Mayall as a kid, Eric spent much of his younger days touring Europe and the USA and has literally grown up on the road with a guitar in his hands.. Eric calls his style of playing BLUES METAL and that's a great description.....a blend of heavy, intense speed, original, soulful lines and bends all served up with a feel and groove second to none. Eric plays his own signature model Knaggs guitar through a Mezza Barba and the whole package just rocks beyond belief.

Tim Pierce: My #1 Favorite Guitar Delay Trick: What I DO and NEVER DO with this AMAZING effect
What I DO and NEVER DO with this AMAZING effect...........
"More than any other effect on my guitar, I am addicted to delays!
I darken them and modulate them so that they get hidden behind the original signal.
I also hide the delay trails..
This way you may not know I’m using them, but they are still making the guitar sound very wide and spacious."
