Chris Turpin of Mirador (his new band with Jake Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet) and Ida Mae is one of the most talented British guitarists and vocalists working today. Mirador's new self-titled record is one of the most electrifyingly exciting debut albums for years and here Chris talks us through the beautiful vintage electric and acoustic guitars he used to carve out his formidable sound on the record. In conversation with Jamie Dickson of Guitarist he also discusses folk and country blues influences and the unique role characterful old guitars can play in the life of a songwriter and performer. With plenty of demonstrations of the gear to feast your ears on, too, this is a fascinating dive into Chris's sonic world.
