This site is my musical solo site. I will be sharing improvised recordings with anyone who is willing to listen. I love Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, John Petrucci, Chris Impellitteri,Frank Gambale,Tony Macalpine, Alan Holdsworth, Pat Travers, Pat Thrall, John Sikes, RobinTrower, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, Buddy Whittington, Carlos Santana, Billy Gibbons, Andy Timmons, Dimebag, Ted Nugent, Jerry Cantrell, Eric Leifson, Elliot Easton, Rick Emmit, Tom Scholtz, Fran Cosmo, Tony Iomi, Glen Tipton, KK Downing, Gary Moore, Johnny Winter, Ace Frehley, etc.... last but certainly not least my very dear friend.. Matt Sear of the UK and founder of the Sidcup-Bexley Guitar Society. When it comes down to it there are too many influences to list them all.
I'm 47 now and have been involved in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth music scene for over 20 years. Ouch, that sounds like it hurts. I have several talented friends, and a lot of cool new friends form Italy, Brazil, Germany, UK, Ireland, Scotland, Poland, France, Finland, The Netherlands, The middle East, Russia, Romania, Taiwan, Japan, Switzerland and of course the US. Please go check them out.
I teach privately, record, and help others finish their projects with my very dear friend Tony of Tony's Muzik. It was my extreme honor and pleasure to be given a chance to record Buddy Whittington on two occasions for Dr. Z Amps and Scott Lentz Guitars. Buddy has had a special place in my heart for years as I have watched him become one of the premier blues guitarists on the face of the planet. I play and record all the parts on this site and many parts on other artists projects when they need to sound like they have a full band. I also help out bands who ask for help in fixing live sound issues, on an as needed basis. I was asked to report retail record sales for Billboard Magazine, in the early 80's, when I worked in the retail division for Capitol Records. I have over 25 years of stage experience and am currently a member of TAXI. I went to East Texas State on a music scholarship in 1977. I was also noted in the Who's Who section of the Harder Beat Magazine two years in a row for promotion as well as winning a Harder Beat Showcase with my band "Those Guys".
I hope you enjoy what I love doing most which is doing improv and letting myself go. More stuff to come every week or so! Come on back and listen. PLEASE? Thanks for visiting me.Donster

PS- I would like to thank my lovely wife, Jennifer, for putting up with me all the years we have been married plus the two and a half years we were together before we were married. She truly is an angel and my very best friend. Thanks sweetie. I love you.HERE IS A REVIEW ON DONSTER'S WORKStraudio.comIndie By ChoiceDonsterSo much of what we might refer to as “guitar music” is simply an excuse for an ego trip, this is simply NOT the case with Donster. The melodies and sense of harmony are fully formed here. This is a true musician who happens to be a guitar virtuoso as well.His recordings are dense, very well produced and full of different textures. Apart from a very recognizable central guitar tone, there is also great use of the guitar in various other support roles that create the sonic landscape over which the main lines are laid. That said, this is not simply soundtrack music for guitar, there is plenty of shredding here for the guitar junkie as well. The real feat achieved by Donster is that rare combination of guitar virtuosity and solid musical composition as well. Too often one becomes subservient to the other and that is a trap that Donster never falls into.There are definite comparisons that could be made here to Steve Vai or Joe Satriani but not just because of the great guitar playing but because like these giants of the instrument, Donster has a real sense of the entire composition rather than just where his guitar fits into the scheme of things.So, if you want guitar music where the rest of the music is fully formed as well then check out Donster, you won’t be disappointed!Wordpress Themes by ThemePorter | Design: David Herreman | Sponsored by Web Hosting
