Paul has played guitar for over 35 years (on and off).
He originally played acoustic at school but Angus Young forced him to change to electric in 1979 when he was blown away by the album 'If You Want Blood, You've Got It'.
Angus, and later Gary Moore, have left a lasting impression on Pauls playing for over 25 years. Steve then 'forced' him to listen to Paul Kossoff and things started to change.
He eventually grasped the extra textures that Kossoff was able to bring forth from the guitar and has tried to adopt aspects of this into his playing, although Gary sneaks back in when Paul stops concentrating. :-)
He has played all sorts of music over the years, in various bands, ranging from pop to punk but his love has always been for the 'Classic' guitar orientated blues based music, especially around the 70's and early 80's. This is where he feels at home, although he has been seen watching Kylie videos, but only for artistic insight.
