Steve

I love playing the guitar, I began playing around the age of 12 by my father, who preferred me playing a quieter instrument than the drums, which I originally wanted to play. My biggest musical influences when I was growing up were Yngwie Malmsteen, UFO w/Michael Schenker, Michael Schenker Group, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Maiden, Steve Vai, George Lynch, and so many other great bands & guitar legends. I joined my 1st original band in the 80's when I was 18 heavily influenced by early Metallica & Anthrax riffs.
I've been doing the tribute band thing for the past few years as well and I've had the honor of playing with some very talented musicians over the years and in the awesome bands I play in now "Edison's Medicine" & "Precious Time." I've also had the opportunity to play at some awesome venues in the Southern California area as well.

I love old Marshall amps & late 70's & early 80's Bernie Rico/Neil Moser era BC Rich guitars especially the "Mockingbird" & "Rich Bich" series.

There is some really cool stuff on the FAQ page. Videos of John Petrucci's, Andy Summers' rigs demos of the rigs and the building of Petrucci's rig part 1 and part 2 (pretty cool viewing), explanations on midi etc, amp impedence etc...
Just jamming on guitar with Zach for a couple of years before he moved to Honolulu added about 10 years to my guitar playing abilities.
Thanks Zach.
