Currently I do everything myself. Once upon a time I had a drummer helping me out by the name of Miles J. The man is a genius. Its a shame we've more or less lost contact with each other. He worked on Fire Burns, Last Dream , Betrayal, and Contrast.
Entertaining Videos
Saint Drizzew did the awesome camera work on these solo-acoustic renditions of Enchantress and Together, Alone and the electric version of Fire Burns. After we filmed Enchantress we thought it was kinda boring looking so we made an effort to make Together, Alone's video a bit more interesting with my Cloud and Sephiroth action figures. When we filmed Fire Burns we decided to just tape down some buttons on the controller of my PS2 and let Ghost Rider spin around. Considering the song's name it seemed appropriate. Be amazed. Damn amazed.

Instructional Videos
Sid Voltaire (good friend of mine) asked me to put up a video of me playing A Somber Dance, because let's face it... That song rocks the nuts hardcore. So, I have. What you'll hear in the background, is the rhythm and drum tracks from the original recording. I cut the lead out, so all the lead guitar you hear in the video is coming from what I'm playing on screen.

Influences: The Oregon Trilogy
The Oregon Trilogy is a series of solo performance pieces composed for rhythm guitar. Each piece of the trilogy is between 3-4 minutes in length, and in its own key, but with aspects and ideas incorporated from the other parts of the Trilogy so that they would blend together well if ever to be performed consecutively.
Each one of these was based off an improvisation which I recorded. At the same time of recording the video I also recorded the audio into seperate files for listening. The video is more for instructional purposes so that anyone interested in playing these pieces can learn them. I hope that anyone interested will play them. I give full permission to use these in any way you see fit. I just ask that you do not take credit for composing them.
To help those aspiring musicians out; the trilogy is in the key of B minor, E minor, and A minor respectively. Though there are some changes to the scales made, they always come back to the keys mentioned. If you want to watch the individual pieces you can go here .
