I'm a 24 yr. old musician who loves to jam baby! I've been playing guitar since I was 13 in bands at church and what not. I started playing in my old church band (Calvary Temple, Modesto) when I was 15 and got the chance to play on 6 records during my stay there. I never took any lessons until my first 2 years of college where I studied classical and jazz. I love to play it all; rock, blues, jazz, classical, latin, funk, etc. I've sinced recognized that the big G has some more in store for me musically (at least that's what I think) so I've moved down to the L.A. area to pursue music.
Weapons of Choice:
Main Workhorse: 2000 American Deluxe Fat Strat ("Odessa"). Black w/ white PG
Amp: Fender Princeton Chorus (looking into a Twin or AC30)
Floor Gear: POD XT ("purists" will roll their eyes but it's the junk!), Dunlop Crybaby. That's it.
Studio Gear: Digi 002 Rack w/ Pro Tools. Outboard gear coming soon...
Computer: Apple PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8GHz. Go big or go home.
