never trust a 12 string guitar..

About Me

i have been obsessed with all things musical since i was 11 and was a drummer.when i was 13 i began playing the guitar,and have never looked back.i am a guitar geek.i am driven to find the best tone and the best choice of notes-period.i began playing gigs at 15,and began playing professionally at 19.i have played every style of music there is from Bluegrass to Free Jazz.my goal is to follow my heart and play what i feel.the tracks on here were done w/ various great musicians that i have had the privilege to play with.i feel that sharing musical moments with other musicians is the ultimate rush.music is life;life is music.the guitar always has something to say to me that i have never heard before if i push it in the right direction and that is a beautiful thing.
