DeWayne Hyatt

I'm just an old blues guitarist (with a head for abstract mathematical concepts) looking for a new adventure. Recently started playing lap steel again (I played around with a lap steel back in the late 60's when I first began playing, not sure why I ever stopped) and now bass. Learned music theory pretty much on my own, had played French Horn for 1 year in our jr hs band (director was a total dick) but that was mainly just learning the songs we performed. Totally self taught guitarist, it's a very mathematical instrument so it wasn't the hurdle that it might be for others.

Ampeg Classic SVT-CL 300W Head paired with a 8x10 cab (for neighbor intimidation purposes) and a 4x10 cab for gigging out. As for a bass I would likely go with a G&L Kiloton, a LB-100, and a SB-1.
Influences and Teachers
My biggest musical/guitar influences came early in life: Duane Allman, Alvin Lee, and Rory Gallagher-my holy trinity. DA inspired me to play the blues and slide guitar. Bass influences include Oteil Burbridge and Jaco Pastorius.
Hobbies and Interests
Collecting, playing, and maintaining guitars and amps. It truly is all I really do these days.
