So what about Troy:
Well, there's a lot to say and not enough time or space, but here goes. I've been playing guitar 19 years! I've been in MO since 1986, I started playing guitar seriously in 1989, around the age of 21. Kind of a late bloomer huh? So that tells you how old I am. I am basically self taught, but I did take some private lessons off & on from 2 different teachers in 2 different music stores over a 5 year period. And I've been on my own ever since just putting in the time I can on the Instrument!
I've been teaching "Professionally" for about 10 years, and have played in a couple of different local projects, and recorded 2 different original demos w/both. One of those demos can still be attained if anyone is interested? I generally have about 55-65 students a week, and they keep me on my toes, and challenged. I can honestly say that I learn as much from my students as they do from me, I'm sure of it!
My goal outside of being accountable to God and being a great husband and father is to get my "Original Instrumental Guitar" music out, promote it on CD and through live performances, and also to find a sound set of musicians who can get out and perform it with me and drive it home with lots of energy. Sharing it with the public, is what it's all about right?
Quick Update:My new cd "Guitar with a Voice" has been ruled "infectious" by guitar fans worldwide. If your looking for a cd that has hard driving rock, soulful punchy blues, & tug on your heartstrings type ballads, & emotion in every note, then this cd is for the guitar fan. I really feel this is were my passion is. My creativity is flowing the most when I am working on this type of music. I hope you like the music. I think you will hear lots of contrast in style and approach, as you listen to each song and the story I am trying to tell. These songs are just musical snapshots of where my mind and craft was at the time. I hope this music reaches you the way it does me and that you are able to hear what I am trying to say. I love music, and especially the guitar, so if you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear them. Tell me which one is your favorite.
I love to talk shop when it comes to guitar, tone, effects, and amps. I think the guitar is the most versatile instrument, period. It has an expressive vocal like quality unlike any other instrument. Thanks, Peace, and Rock On!! PS: contact me @ [email protected], thanks, Troy.
