Eivind Staxrud er en av landets ekte gitarhelter. Du har kanskje sett han med Marshallstacks og Gibson SG med Raga Rockers, eller med Twin Reverb og Fender Jazzmaster med Los Plantronics. Han har også spilt med utallige andre norske og utenlandske artister og gitarlegender, for eksempel James Burton fra Elvis' TCB band. Vi snakker om gamle Marshallforsterkere, og det å la seg rive med så mye av musikk at man mister det. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
