30 THE TRADITIONAL SERIES EASTMANGUITARS.COM FEATURED MUSICIAN Gaz Coombes WHO WERE SOME OF YOUR EARLIEST MUSICAL INFLUENCES? Mainly Bowie, Beatles, Zappa....& The Muppets Band HAS YOUR APPROACH TO SONGWRITING CHANGED FROM THE BEGINNING OF YOUR CAREER WITH SUPERGRASS TO NOW? Very much so in terms of technique & approach. I love the freedom of starting an idea from any random point - a loop, a beat, even a few words. That’s very different to writing as a band. But I guess a melody can still come out of nowhere & that’s the same as it ever was. WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE GUITAR PLAYERS? I’ve always loved Neil Young. His approach to electric & acoustic is very different. Very wild on electric, but delicate & technical on acoustic. But, it’s his emotive feel & one note solos that always got me. MATADOR FEELS LIKE THE SPIRITUAL SUCCESSOR TO ROAD TO ROUEN. WAS THAT RECORD ON YOUR MIND WHEN YOU WERE WRITING MATADOR? I guess it was our most DIY record, so perhaps that’s one similarity. DO YOU USE ANY ALTERNATE TUNINGS? Yes, drop D tuning is a bit of a constant....but also the DADFAD tuning for “The Girl Who Fell To Earth” was a cool find. WHAT DREW YOU TO EASTMAN GUITARS? A friend of mine told me about them & I’m just always into trying new guitars....not always letting the ‘big boys’ dominate. And, I’m glad I did. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE SOUND OF YOUR EASTMAN GUITAR? I’ve got a full sized dreadnought & a smaller parlor guitar too, both fitted with pickups. They’ve both got a great tone & feel. The parlor guitar is my favorite though. I use it live now quite a bit. WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU, MUSICALLY? I’m writing & recording for my 3rd album. Early days, but already some really exciting ideas floating about. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SONG YOU’VE WRITTEN? Tough one...it’s usually the most recent though... WHERE’S THE BEST PLACE TO FIND UPDATES ON WHAT YOU’RE CURRENTLY UP TO? Probably best to check out Twitter & FB, all the live shows are up there, amongst other lovely stuff.
