Received my first guitar at age 8 and noodled around for a few years tillstudying with a teacher who showed me scales,modes,blues and Jazz. Fromthere I was hooked all though my main love was instrumental Rock music inthe vein of old school Shrapnel Records, I found a equal love for the blues andthe cool smooth sounds of Miles Davis and other Jazz musicians. Played myfirst solo guitar gig when I was 12 walking home from school one day andwas approached by the owner of a small German Restaurant were I spent thenext few sat. evenings playing to the customers from there I continued topractice every day focusing on theory articulation and speed. Then at age 15 ..joined my first band as a Bass player in a top 40 cover band we playedmixers,party's and shows of all sorts. It was at that time that I finally got myshot in a band at guitar I joined up with my older brother A bass player andformed our first of many bands together at the age of 16.
