KEVIN MATHEWS — Watchmen + Popland + solo + The Fast Colors


INTRODUCTION
Singer-songwriter with Watchmen, Popland and solo. Also singer-guitarist with The Fast Colors, a classic rock tribute band. First learned how to play guitar in the mid-70s, have been an active musician for about 45 years.

PLAYING STYLE
Am basically a chord guitarist and I mainly play my own songs which are built up from progressions. Since learning the guitar as a teenager, I have found guitar playing to come naturally - I try not to think too much about my process.

MAIN INSTRUMENTS
Never really owned a guitar of my own. Was lucky to get hold of Gibson guitars for a period of time and they are top quality.

OTHER EQUIPMENT
Haha not really. Never bought a guitar, never really bought pedals, amps etc.

OTHER LOCAL GUITARISTS YOU FIND INTERESTING
Have been lucky to have collaborated with local guitarists Daniel Sassoon, Ben Harrison and Joshua Tan - each one bringing their own unique style to my songs. Always appreciated!
