Melbourne Guitar Show Focus: Nat Allison

Which acts do you play with: Solo, and Suzi Quatro

What was the best piece of advice you were given when you first started learning guitar? Little things make a big difference, like turning down your guitar in between songs to stop the hum and knowing the difference between an upbeat and a downbeat and when to play which.

What's your fave guitar/amp/pedal set-up? Gretsch White Falcon into a 1978 Marshall JMP Super Lead with a master volume modification and an Ibanez Tube Screamer for solos. The Tube Screamer is the most important pedal on my board!

If you could jam with one person, who would it be and why? This is a tough one. Lenny Kravitz because I've always loved his songwriting. I could learn a lot from Kravitz in the studio, and let's not mention his cool sense of style! 

If money wasn't an issue, what guitar would you buy and why? A 1950s Gibson Les Paul Goldtop. I've always loved Les Paul's shape, the way they play, sound and hang on your body! A Goldtop would be a nice guitar to add to my collection.

When and where can we catch you at the Melbourne Guitar Show? 4 Aug, AON Whammy Bar stage, 2.45pm. Let's rock!
