About Gabrielle Crow
I’ve been playing guitar “seriously” since the age of 16: not so much seriously from age 13 to 16 because I started on an acoustic with very bad action on it. I almost gave up on it completely because of that simple fact, however I had a step father who also played guitar and he convinced my Mom to go in with him and buy me an electric guitar and amp. The guitar was a Hagstrom 2 and the amp was a Peavey. My step father taught me a few blues scales and chords and the basic 12 bar form; and I took it from there. Originally I wanted to play guitar to be like my first favorite rock group “Kiss” but it was not to be because that style just didn’t seem to suit me at all.
My uncle had given me and my older brother a stack of Led Zeppelin and I became entranced with the playing of their guitarist “Jimmy Page” but was also became frustrated because I couldn’t seem to play it like it was on the album. So I just started to to make up my on stuff; but still felt bad because I couldn’t emulate “Page “ as much as I would have liked to. So I decided to listen to the old stuff that “Page ‘“ listened to and was influenced by’ artists such as “Howling Wolf , Elmore James and Muddy Waters. I also dicovered another artist I liked allot ‘Hound Dog Taylor” I tried to capture the vibe if not always the exact note.
However, there was a positive up side to that. I some how developed a semi unique playing style. Which seemed to be a plus in some ways. I played in bands with the local kids in Marietta and Roswell GA which is the general areas in I lived at the time. Everyone it seemed wanted me to play the Blues for them it seemed.
