Hamilton Loomis/EBMM anyone ?

[Purple ASS]

I'd never heard of this guy. A friend played me a track off his album at a gig last night called 'Workin Real hard' and I was blown away. Nothing flash just great tone and groove and space. Anyway I thought I'd 'Youtube' him this morning and found that he's obviously a fellow EBMM player. Found clips with him playing ASS MM90 and HH, but his most recent 'go-to' guitar appears to be a 25th, albeit with the pickup covers removed (maybe he's swapped out the pickups) Probably not a player for some of the shredders out there but for the Groovemeisters who appreciate funky/Robben Ford style it'll be right up your alley. Seems he was mentored by Bo Diddley. Anyone else know anything about him ?

Yeah he's a good player! Havent seen any MM90 clips though, please post em if ya can man!!! I love MM90's!!!!!

 

[Purple ASS]

For you Rob. Agree with you on the MM90's. Mine has recently become my mainstay again after years of being left behind

 

[robelinda2]

thanks man, you are a champ! Rock on MM90's!

I like it! Nice idea to play funk on an AXIS - it works!

A friend of mine has booked Hamilton a few times now at his venue and I helped on the soundesk at his last gig here in Cardiff. I know that OlPlayer has seen him too. I really nice groovy player who really likes his MM guitars. A real nice guy to talk to.
- Certainly not a shredder but has a great groove and knows how to entertain an audience.
I've just contacted my mate to find out if he knows his next UK itinerary
= great ambassador for EB guitars.

Great stuff. Love the 25th tones he is getting. I'll have to keep an eye out for him.

I can't believe I've never heard of him. I grew up in new Orleans listening to funky blues. This guy's got it, and a knucklehead to boot.
