Elmer Ferrer - Silhouette Special - This guy rips!

[ScoobySteve]

I've been listening to No Guitars Allowed for over a year now and just absolutely love Elmer Ferrer and the Elmer Ferrer Band. Getting back into his stuff because I'm looking into another ball..... hehehehehehehe

Anyways....

Soulful Blues/Jazz/Rock and FURIOUS. From what I understand, although his hometown is Cuba, he spends quite a bit of time in Canada, and will be playing in Toronto June 10 for you Canadian Knuckleheads.

What BEAUTIFUL tone from a HSS Silo Spec! Check him out! This guy deserves a bigger following!

That's some of the best tone I've ever heard from a Silo Special! Does anyone know what amp he's using?

 

[Carl Roa]

Wow, awesome playing!

He's actually quite a minimalist. Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, a mixture of Maxon and Xotic pedals. Insane I know. IN THE FINGERS!!!

But the dude is totally EBMM'd out in the Blues Festival videos!

EBMM Silo, EB INk Strap, EB Super locks! Haha

You're in Toronto too Tung! June 10! How I wish I could go. Not much of a band scene here in Busan.
