Alan Morse (born August 22, 1958) is an American guitarist. He is the only constant member of the progressive rock band Spock's Beard. He is the brother of co-founder Neal Morse, who left the band in 2002.
Morse has recorded with many artists including Chad & Jeremy, Spencer Davis, Neal Morse, and (Spock's Beard keyboardist) Ryo Okumoto. Along with the guitar, he sings and plays the theremin, the cello, sitar, musical saw, keyboards, drums, bass & bouzouki[1]. Morse has a degree in electrical engineering and owns an electronics manufacturing company, DynaMetric, Inc.[2] Unusually for a rock guitar player, Morse does not use a pick.[3]
Morse's father was a music teacher and Morse sang in his father's boys' choir.[6] He began taking piano lessons at an early age, then studied upright bass, and finally learned guitar around the age of 12.
Morse studied some music theory but is largely self-taught as a musician.[6]
Morse is married to Kathryn Morse and has two children.[citation needed] Their son, John, is also a musician; John recorded guitar and drums for the track "Make Me Real Again" on So Many Words.[1]
