Hello Everyone...My first post here. I'm Bob Cianci, guitarist/drummer, author and music journalist. My main gig is with Premier Guitar magazine, and some of my recent pieces have included interviews with Pete Townshend, Brad Paisley, Buddy Guy, Robby Krieger, Nils Lofgren, Rick Nielsen, Roger McGuinn, Leslie West and Bob Wooten, plus articles on cheap, funky electric guitars, Chinese counterfeit guitars, and the search for the Holy Grail of electrics, the Gibson Moderne. PG is a great magazine, they give me lots of room for creativity, and they treat me very, very well. I'll have an article in the June issue entitled, "The Guitar Shops of New York City." Check it out.
I have been playing both drums and guitar for decades; I play drums in a very busy Jersey cover band called The Kootz, and guitar in my band, The Burgundy Watch. It's fun doing a drum gig one night and a guitar gig the next, but it's a lot of work unpacking and repacking. The BW has just set up a Facebook page. We gig about 3 times a month in the local bars, and our format is mostly '60's rock, plus some '50's roots R'n R, and a few '70's things; Beatles, Stones, Byrds, Who, Yardbirds, Kinks, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, and much more, including some American garage rock from that time.
As far as guitars, I have a collection that changes occasionally; a Gibson Les Paul Junior, Tokai Love Rock Flametop LP, Gibson Flying V, Epiphone Explorer, Epiphone Moderne, Gretsch two-tone green Anniversary, Gretsch Silver Jet, MIJ Strat, MIJ Jazzmaster (both in candy apple red), Squier Classic Vibe Tele, a few Danelectros, a Rickenbacker 330-12, a new PRS SE One Korina, an old Supro Belmont, Supro Dual-Tone, several cheesy '60's Japanese Teiscos and Kingstons (great for slide), an old Guild F-30, an Epiphone acoustic/electric, an ancient all-mahogany Harmony flattop, a nice Silvertone lap steel that belonged to my uncle, and a few homemade cigar box guitars. Oh, and my father's old Vega tenor banjo that I cannot play. I usually play through an American Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. My pedalboard includes a Boss tuner, Boss Trem, Boss Super Overdrive, Durham Crazy Horse, Cat's Eye Mutha Fuzz, Danelectro Back Talk, and a homemade "Toggle Box."
I look foward to getting involved here and maybe helping younger players with questions they may have about playing and equipment.
