"I use Ernie Ball strings, 10 - 46 for electric & 12 - 54 for acoustic, which is pretty standard. My favourite guitar pick would be the Dunlop H3, which puts less distance between my fingers and the guitar. I found that my accuracy and tone improved dramatically when I started using them.
I keep my main effects rig in a portable flight-case because it reduces the set-up time at gigs and sessions. I also have a secondary rig, which I’ll use for more permanent set-ups like a long run with a theatre show.
As a final thought, I think it helps to have good gear, but everybody has their own unique perspective to express through sound and music. That comes from somewhere beyond training, theory & equipment. It's about the life experiences you've had, and trusting yourself enough to let those experiences guide your artistic choices."
