About Me



Due to a strange twist of fate, Ken was inspired to pick up guitar playing at a relatively later age than most players around today. Over the course of his life he’s been influenced by numerous musical sources ranging from Beethoven to Zepplin, and everything in between. However, in June 1997, it was Ken’s reintroduction to the music of Joe Satriani that changed his life forever. He picked up a guitar and never looked back. Although still a novice, Ken is passionate about the instrument and has a keen sense for melody and evocative compositions.The tracks posted here include early recordings of Satriani cover songs, Experimental one takes, and concept tunes to be used for future reference.
