About Me

I’m a self-taught San Diego Native guitarist/musician that started playing at the age of 13 and became obsessed after hearing guys like Eddie Van Halen, Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Yngwie Malmsteen and Eric Johnson. Have a vast range of musical influences that kept me constantly inspired to learn and transcribe various styles and probbaly spend equal if not more time on my guitar tones. I’ve been in a handful of orignal, cover and tribute bands throughout the 80’s - 00’s. Have performed several recording sessions with premier musicians and acts. Most recent project was a 6 year stint Deep Purple/Rainbow Tribute band with some of San Diego’s finest players. Currently strting up a new project consisting of rock covers from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s era. Styles consist of in BluesRock, Hard Rock, Neoclassical Fusion, Progressive, New Age, Classical. I play mostly vintage Fender Stratocasters and Marshall Amps. Also in the process of recording two CD’s one my debut CD titled "Genesis Suite" and utilizing Roland Guitar Synth as a major ingredient to integrating Orchestral/String arrangements and the other and all classical CD from Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods. Inspiration is my fuel and passion is my drive. Ciao - Anthony
