Jeremy Barnes

Since Jeremy started playing guitar at age 15 his goal has been simple-to take technique and musicality on his instrument to the ultimate level. Having achieved unbelieveable speed across all techniques, he then began executing complexity in his playing previously thought impossible. Jeremy is now widely gaining a reputation as one of the fastest guitarists in the world, a fact that can be heard on Jeremy's debut solo album 'ON'.
Jeremy's love for technical music led him to write extreme instrumental pieces from early in his career. After leaving school, he moved to Sydney to play in several progressive metal bands while continuing to record his own compositions. Eventually lured to L.A, he turned heads winning guitar competitions, running sought after clinics and playing with his heavy fusion band "Iksentrik"while building up a large fan base of "EXTREME GUITAR" lovers .
On returning to Australia, Jeremy continued his career as a session guitarist and toured with many well known Australian artists including,Dave Gleeson and the Stilsons, did a brief stint with The Screaming Jets and many more, while still finding time to play with his own fusion band. During this time he recorded his first full length solo album 'ON' which is an amalgamation of fusion and rock and features some of the scariest guitar playing ever recorded. Since the album's release Jeremy has signed on as an endorsee of GODIN Guitars, ZOOM, GHS Strings and YORKVILLE amplification has toured extensively doing packed shred clinics, Masterclasses and Guitar Festivals with his band featuring monster drummer MITCH FARMER, the amazing PHIL TWEED on Keys, and a new force in the bass playing community JOE MANTON.
Jeremy's career to date as a solo artist and session guitarist has sent him on a musical journey that has been the catalyst for creating the virtuoso guitarist that he is today.His platform encapsulates everything from progressive metal to rock, funk, jazz, blues and even country, all with technique and musicality that can hardly be believed, creating the eclectic fusion experience he offers in a wall of sound you will not forget.
