Name & instruments:
Jussi Huhtakangas ("Lester Peabody") – electric lead guitar & steel guitar
Born:
January 1967
I've been playing guitar almost as long as I've been a big time music fan. I got my first guitar when I was twelve and first guitar heroes that caught my ear were Scotty Moore, Eddie Cochran and all Gene Vincent's lead players. I mainly play with the thumb-pick but occasionally use a flatpick too. Playing with the thumb-pick comes of course from the style that was popularized by Merle Travis and Chet atkins, two of my most important influences. If not for those two gentlemen, you probably wouldn't be reading this and I'd be out playing tennis somewhere. Another guitarist, whose music has had a great impact on me, is Johnny Smith, man with a perfect taste and technique. And of course I could go on here forever listing names of musicians past and present, whose work I enjoy, but I guess that's a subject for another website.
Gear:
I've played various guitars during these years, and somehow they've always been hollowbodies. Nothing wrong with the solidbodies, I've just never had one. The guitar I have now is an arch top made according to the blueprints of a 56' D'angelico New Yorker. It was built by a super gifted luthier, Juha Lottonen who has his workshop in my home town, Helsinki. Some people consider built-in pick- ups unacceptable on guitars like these , but I chose to have two DeArmonds on it. Despite of the pick-ups, the guitar has a nice acoustic sound also.
My amp is a reissue Standel 25L15. To my purposes, it's a perfect amp and oh so well made. And of course, there's the tone!
I grew up listening to all kinds of vintage American music, from rockabilly to pop and jazz etc. and I come across new things all the time. New things created by the old masters or the present day musicians. That's the great thing about it; you're never done with it. And to be able to play in a band, doubles the fun.
I'm glad you found our site, hope you enjoy it and the music. Hopefully we'll meet somewhere ( if we already haven't ) and have a chance to talk face to face. I think that's the best part of this business; getting to meet new friends around the world. And sure you can drop us a line or two to our mail box.
