Thanks for dropping by.
I'll try to make it short and sweat. I've been playing guitar since 12. I've been in and out of bands for many years and have the honor to play on many stages / clubs. Now that i'm grown up i've finally put some of my own stuff out there online. Believe it or not , it's only now that I'm getting into the Myspace/Reverbnation world. Hope you like the tunes.
About My Tunes
Are a good mix of everything from rock, shred, country, you name it or at least my attempt to do so, Its all stirred in there so please check out all the tunes (Or a least the first 10 seconds of them). I do include a hint of comedy in them so they don't sound stale or something you've already heard before. As a guitarist, my music is more towards soloing and expressing myself thru my fingers all thought I play all instruments on the recordings I don't sing. Most are originals over simple chords, I've only posted the ones I've recorded recently. The remakes which are at the bottom of the list, as a bit heaver than the original.
Each are a little different and change along the way.
More about me
I started with 4 years of classical guitar and moved quickly into electrical guitar. I'm actually a 'left' hand player playing the 'right' way. Most of my lead guitar is self taught jamming with my favorite artist or at least in the same key, and I do know how to squeeze out a major / minor scale in various positions of the neck :)
As for styles/Influences?
Love Joe Stumps in your face tone, Vai whammy techniques and scale runs, Satchs phrasing, Yngwie neoclassical aura, Zacks wide bend harmonics, Randy Rhodes feeling & pentatonic's, Bee Gee's harmonies, Enya's keyboards. If it has a good melody I like it also many tunes from the 80's are a big plus also.
Drop me a line with your feedback as its always welcomed better or worst!
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the tunes please check all of them out there's a little thing for everyone.
Where they were recorded / What equipment is used?
As for my equipment is straight forward a Digitech 2120, A Laney cab's 12x2 cab, Emu Proteus for Keys. My main guitar is a Jackson with modified Paf Pro pickups as well as an chrome original Floyd Rose tremolo. I also have a Chavel 3A which is retired. And a sure sm48 for the guitar.

I'm using more Cakewalk for my recordings as well as a faster processor to record at 44k. But my cat didn't like the tweeter frying notes so he decided to take a chunk out my Laney cab as you can see in the pic. Still I decided to dedicate a song to him called the Pixie boogie.
Here's looking at you kid...

So here's that third person talk. "A must for guitarist looking for tastefully instrumental guitar soloing. Versatility and comedy to its best leaving you with a 'how did he did that?'
