Hi All, 

I'm Skip Buran. I started playing guitar in 1964. I had previously had a couple of years of piano, played drums in the Jr High band and sang in chorus. I am self taught, can read some but usually don't. Use tab a lot. I've played in bands in my hometown of Pensacola in college, off and on in my career, and most recently in a '60s cover band in Memphis, TN. I've retired and relocated to Columbus. May try to play out in the future. 

Influences: Brit invasion, Clapton, 60s era soul, blues. All Tom Petty.  All Creedence.  I'm  pretty eclectic, but not into metal at all.  Too old, I guess  

Equipment:  

Amps: 1981 Peavy Classic, Vox VT, new Vox MV50 AC (love it) and Fender Blues Jr. 

Guitars: 1981 Ibanez AR50, Ovation elec/acoustic, Fender American Std Strat, Squier Vintage Mod Jazzmaster, D'Angelico Excel DC.

Usual pedal board setup.  Don't need anything exotic for what I play
