Profile Information
- About Me:
- Hey, I'm Rickey Godfrey and I've been playing guitar since I was 13. Though my main axe is the guitar, my first instrument was piano, which I started playing at the age of 6. People say I'm mostly a blues and Soul guitarist, and I suppose that's true. But I see myself as a more versatile guitarist.
I like many different kinds of music, which has helped me to develop more of an original style. I don't just listen to R & B and rock. I listen to jazz, country, blues, gypsy music, classical, which gives my playing a lot of influences. So, when I play blues I don't sound like Albert King or Elmore James. I don't sound like Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn, either; I sound like Rickey Godfrey. Although I love those guys I just mentioned, the blues I play, I infuse with guitar licks from old jazz guitarists like Charlie Christian, but, especially, Django Rhinehart, who was a big influence on my playing. It makes me sound different from a lot of guitar players who, I think, play too many stock, predictable blues and rock licks.
I grew up in Greenville, South Carolina and I occasionally go back there to play the local clubs, where I get to hang out with many of my old friends. Since 1993, I live in Nashville, where I play mostly Blues and classic Soul gigs with the great players here.
