Hello everyone!

[Meritone Music]

Hello folks

My name is Jacob Quistgaard, but most people call me Quist. I'm originally from Denmark, but have been based in London since graduating from London's Royal Academy of Music where I studied Jazz Guitar. I'm a professional guitarist/songwriter. You may also find me tutoring at Guitar-X (Tech Music Schools) in Acton, it's one of the most awesome places for guitarists in London and I'm proud to be contributing.. Here's a clip from a blues gig in Soho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oOchCdn_CM . I play all sorts of guitars, but gotta mention a few re-worked Aria semi-acoustics that I have, which I love! My fav pedals at the moment are my Hot Cake, boss octave, DL4 delay/loop station and good ol hendrix wah wah! I'm off to play Oxegen Festival in Ireland with Andreay Triana in a few days...should be good fun!

Nice to meet ya'll !

Welcome Quist. I hope you have a good show at the festival.

Thanks man. Nice list of gear there... I've been doing quite a lot of my gigs with a Hot Rod amp I got recently.. had trouble with too much distortion at first, but after I gave it some different and nicer valves and a complete check-up it really came to life.. love it!

Welcome to The Fret, Quist!
That's a sweet solo you posted. I love the lines and phrasing.

I am sometimes amazed at the broad talent and variety of guitarists we have here in The Fret. You'll enjoy this group.

They can be fussy, but when you find what makes them work well they are an incredibly good sounding amph.
