Jack Riley Nelson is the pen name of a guitarist in the UK.
Apart from time with various semi-pro rock and blues bands over the years, in the 70's and early 80's he had connections with Free and the Ian Gillan Band.
His guitar collection includes a prized 1976 Les Paul Deluxe and an American Strat, usually powering through a DeVille 2x12, a Tech21 Trademark 60 or a Fender Mustang 3, depending on how lazy he feels about carrying one of them...
Favourite guitarists include the usual obvious choices... Hendrix, Leslie West, Jeff Beck, Dave Gilmour, Gary Moore... you get the picture.
Totally self-taught (apart from his uncle's help, an early influence) his main regret is not using his left hand little finger enough... until he read that Leslie West didn't either, so that made it slightly less of a regret and made him feel tons better...
