He first picked up a guitar at a young age but never really played or was interested in it, He then picked up on guitar summer of his 8th going into freshman year, he instantly became attrachted to creating music, starting off he learned all of the basics and everything he could possibly learn, everything from rock, classic, metal, blues, jazz, and country, every since that summer he has played a guitar everyday, all day, he has not cared about anything more than music. Jake finally got a band together, Blood Pit, with fellow member Jamie Drake (Drums), Jake was the lead guitarist and the lead singer, after there differences they split up, Jake now creates composes and practices everyday on his Solo project, he looks up to guitarist such as Yngwie J Malmsteen, Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Michael Anglo Batio, Marty Friedman, Eddie Van Halen, and Steve Vai. Jake is a very open ranged musician, he plays music from metal, death, speed, thrash, blues, jazz, rock, classic, neo classical, and sadly country.

Which Guitar Player Are You? (pics)

Marty Friedman You are Marty Friedman! Formerly of Cacophony and Megadeth, you have one of the most distinct sounds of any guitar player. Your style fits well in any type of music; you are so versatile that you have to stay solo so that you can stretch every aspect of your ability. You are one of the best sweep-pickers ever to live, and you're very elusive.
