Jaimie picked up a guitar at age 7 and immediately started causing trouble — not with volume, but with instinct. While his teacher begged him to “read the dots,” Jaimie was already off improvising, playing by ear, and chasing sounds that theory books couldn’t explain. Four years of professional tuition sharpened the technique, but the spark was always his own.
What makes Jaimie truly dangerous on a stage is the way he fuses his engineering brain with his musical soul. He’s the guy who can play the riff, fix the cable, tune the PA, rebuild the pedalboard, and still make soundcheck on time. Thanks to that blend of electronics know‑how and musical intuition, 3 Days Reign runs as a slick, great‑sounding machine.
His guitar collection tells its own story: a 1971 Strat he picked up second‑hand in ’86 — a true vintage workhorse — and a custom Maton acoustic with his parents’ signatures etched into the fretboard, a reminder of where the journey began.
Like every guitarist on the eternal quest for that tone, Jaimie has chased it through classic tube amps — JCM800s, Vox AC30s — before embracing the modern frontier. These days he runs a sophisticated Fractal Audio rig that lets him go fully “ampless,” sculpting tones with studio precision. But he still brings along his secret weapon: a compact Gallien‑Krueger ML250 stereo amp, the same model favoured by Iron Maiden, Rush, and Ritchie Sambora. Small footprint, massive attitude.
Whether he’s on guitar, behind the desk, or soldering something back to life, Jaimie brings energy, precision, and a spark of electricity to everything he touches. On stage, he’s the guy making the strings glow — and the band sound bigger than ever.
