My name is Rick - Guitar is my passion. I play Blues / Rock & touch on Jazz/Blues styles. I love to learn and study new stuff but sometimes I'm overwhelmed by what I dont know about music and guitar but thats what makes it so much fun . Everyday you can learn something new.Tons of guitar players influence me and inspire me. I have been playing for a long time but just recently im busting my butt trying to learn Jazz. I love Django, Wes, and a bunch of all those other great guitar players. My songs are recorded on a Boss Br-900 usually always first takes with cheesey drums patterns !! Not great productioins but its the feel that counts. I hope who ever listens can find something they can enjoy from my playing. Just recently I was picked as one of the "Editors Eight Picks" in GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE for the song "Corona Dark Special"! I am in the August 2007 issue and its quite an honor for me personally to get noticed at all!I have a mother who had a terrible stroke in july 2005 who we are caring for at home so my practice time is not there anymore because she needs 24 hour care. But as passionate as I am about guitar its a distant 2nd to my love for my mother. She inspires me in everything i do. I learn so much from seeing the courage strenght love and compassion she posseses. If I can be anything like her I will succeed in life and my guitar playing will follow !Rick
