Location: Brighty in Blighty | I *really* like him from the first time I saw him wearing shorts in the Half Moon in Putney (England) around 20 odd years ago to just a few weeks ago in Brighton (England again). Seen him on the G3 tour in the 90s too.
Have loads of his albums and he is the reason I'm a O nut.
Man he is so GOOD! |

He really is good. Didn't he have a CD titled "Guitar for Mortals"? Hardly seems fair to torture mere mortals like us that way.

Location: Brighty in Blighty | Yeah he did and it's aptly named as I can even play 2 of his tunes from that album (at least I'm almost up to speed).
Some of his stuff is down right evil - listen to "Pass The Valium", in fact the first thing I ever heard him playing -- it *BLEW* my mind.
N.B. I don't remember being that drawn to his shorts more the fact that this guitar god would even consider wearing them. He was that good, he could wear shorts and get away with it! |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | Having read a fairly old article by Adrian he was talking about using a shallow bowl ovation and a zoom 9000 when touring thats what made me do this...
buy a S868 and a Zoom 9000 from the 'bay. Then run it through my incredible Naim HiFi. Add a little reverb, a little delay and instant Legg tone!!!!!!! It really sounds so good :-)
There is a rather large downside however, didn't get to bed until the wee hours as couldn't put the bloody guitar down.
Interestingly enough I was chatting to my neighbour yesterday and her husband used to share a flat with Adrian, talk about 3 degrees of separation. |

Location: SF Bay area, California | I saw Adrian a few months a go in Petaluma, California. I had seen him once before, in Jan '07.
Both times he was played his custom hollow body with the sound hole in the lower bout below the neck. The scale length is 24". It works for him!
