Tame Impala

Kara Gordon

Inspired by the late ’60s guitar greats in his father’s record collection and his brother’s passion for Van Halen and Joe Satriani, the classically-trained guitar virtuoso set about acquiring the skills that would allow him to shred with the best of them - most recently alongside Alabama 3.
