Nick Shaw

Nick Shaw is a South Yorkshire, U.K, based guitar player who has played with many bands on the U.K pub, club and festival scene. As well as being a current member of the U.K’s premier Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band, Aynt Skynyrd, Nick also works as a solo artist performing regular acoustic shows.

Nick’s influences are firmly routed in the blues, southern rock and old school country genres, although he has played every style of music over the years.

Nick’s passion for music comes from his dad who is a drummer and will tell you stories of Nick playing along to Mark Knopfler on a little plastic toy guitar at the age of three. Music was always around in the house growing up.

2020 has been an interesting and challenging year for all musicians. But never one to be beaten, Nick has invested time into building a studio and has since been remotely recording guitars and vocals for various clients including production music for one of Universal’s producers. You can also check out Nick’s YouTube channel for his weekly Tea-Time Treats videos and other music related content.

“Durability and comfort are the two main deciding factors for me when choosing a guitar pick. Over the years I have tried literally hundreds of different gauges, materials and sizes of guitar pick. Each time I’ve hit the same problem… longevity! The Heart Beat Jazz, rigid picks have cured this problem. After hours of use these picks still look like new! As an extra bonus, the 3D nature of the pick is very comfortable and easy to grip meaning they don’t slip out of sweaty hands and also reduce fatigue.”
