Jason Lim, guitarist, violinist, percussionist and composer/producer. Originally classically trained from age 9 in violin and piano he moved to the popular sector of the music industry and studied guitar, contemporary percussion and production for two years at Perth College in Scotland. With a history in heavy rock and metal bands and having gained a lot of valuable experience through playing at many well known venues in Scotland, he has now come close to completing the production of his second solo album consisting of jazz fusion and progressive influenced styles. This development in playing style was accompanied by various employments from live jazz work in restaurants and guitar tutoring to freelance music work for a museum and other local projects. http://www.myspace.com/jasonlimmusic Now with a higher national degree in popular music performance, he has moved to Monmouth College, Illinois to gain some first hand jazz and classical performance experience. As well as studying performance in music he gained experience in audio recording and producing using mixtures of analogue technology and a wide range of modern digital multi-track and sampling software.
With the goal to be as versatile a guitar player as possible he has built up a collection of many different instruments and amplifiers, finally settling for an assortment of 7 string models and vintage amplifiers for most live and studio use.
Along side playing guitar he has also built up experience as a guitar tech, performing basic repairs, modifications and set ups on various styles of instruments as well as building guitars from assorted parts. Equipment: Guitars:
