Melbourne Guitar Show Focus: Lloyd Spiegel

What was the best piece of advice you were given when you first started learning guitar? The thing we love about our favourite players is that they're a one of a kind. Learn their tricks, learn their style... but be yourself. 

What's your fave guitar/amp/pedal set up? I'm a simple guy. I like my Cole Clark FL2EC-BLBL straight through the PA with nothing between it but a BOSS loop. Makes soundcheck easy.

If you could jam with one person, who would it be and why? Son House. I often feel like my music takes twists and turns and takes me a long way from what I started out wanting to be. I figure Mr House would sort me out. 

If money wasn't an issue, what guitar would you buy and why? I'm more about nostalgia than equipment. I would love to own BB King's first Lucille. Just to look at it. Not sure I could bring myself to play it.
