Mozart to Megadeth and everything in between

About Me

I started playing guitar in the summer of 2004 but quit after just a few months. Started again November of 2006 and have been practicing hard and playing at every given oppurtunity ever since. Always loved all kinds of music and i play things that range from Bach to John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Charlie Parker, Buddy Guy, Robert Johnson, Coheed and Cambria, Megadeth, Joe Satriani to Earth wind and fire. An eclectic, eccentric and sometimes downright WEIRD concoction of diverse influences, i'm always trying to improve and be more versatile.

I'm currently working with a fusion band, a funk group and a progressive rock/fusion band, we'll see how things go.

More tunes coming soon.
