40 Years Rock'n' Roll
Birrd Custom Guitars means Rock'n' Roll. And here's why.
Alec is a musician to the core, and it all started over 40 years ago with his first band, the Black Birds. Having started as a bass player, he soon moved over to the electric guitar, woot! Advanced Status Quo poses, a windmill arm that would make Pete Townshend blush, and a stiff upper lip competing with Angus Young - you name it.

Pic: Alec pretends tuning a guitar. It is already in tune. But standing there WITH guitar is way cooler

It pretty cool to be on that stage and helping the guys as a guitar tech The musician feeling, the backstage room, eating from the catering etc. That gave me another kick to go for an own band. Let's see... |
Some live impressionsBAUM had the super cool idea to equip me with a body cam. These vids are just amazin'! Sound is only from the GoPro cam.
Side note: the sound guys forgot to klick on record!! All the footage is for the trash On the vid: As you can see, not only the guitars had to be in tune, also a flawless guitar hand-over was important. |
