About Me

I am from Roseville Michigan, I started playing guitar when I was about 12 years old. My earliest influences were bands like Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Rush, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Scorpions etc.. I was in a band in the 80’s "THREAT" we played cover songs and wrote originals. I do union masonry for a living, its a rough job but it pays the bills. I like almost all styles of music except bagpipes. I'm sorry to anyone who plays or listens to it but that is the worst sound ever. Athough I do not play professionally, I am always up for a good jam session. There is nothing better than getting together with creative musicians and playing some improv. Thats where the real magic is. I am always pondering our existence and always searching for the perpetually elusive truth. I have met some great musicians and great people here on Myspace, I appreciate all the feedback.
Thank You.
Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.
This is me playing some improv. in B minor at a friends house. Rick Brown

I made a guitar program in flash for me to use when I'm working on new stuff.. It will let you choose any combination of notes and lay them out on the entire fretboard. I find it very helpful for arpeggios, to see how the inversions are layed out. Check it out it might be helpful to you.
