About Me

Diablo has been playing guitar for 17 years. He was taught by John Ruszin III, a graduate of Musicians Institute of Technology, taught by Paul Gilbert from the band Mr. Big. He has had a couple bands that played all over the East coast. For the last four years, he has followed the primary music scene on the East coast with much dissapointment. He has found that the real underground scene has been suppressed and needs to be rewarded and promoted. His fans are many, from many different ages, from all walks of life, and from various areas all over the world. He is currently writing all new music that would compliment the 1980- early 90's style of metal in which his influences are heard. He is now experimenting with clasic melodies from many years ago, melodies that people have heard over the last 100 years or so. Diablo does all of his own production, 90% of the music and song writing compositions are done by him also. He is a firm believer of showing respect to the many talented guitar players that society has lost accidently. He believes also that the K.I.S.S. rule/methodology of Keep It Simple Stupid should be left in the past. Compositions rely soully upon music theory, including such things as note choicement, harmony, melody, scaleular structure, early classical modes, sweep-picking, diminished, chromatic, squeals or pinch-harmonics, string skipping, palm muting, some blues and Darrel Abott's wild whammy bar tap-harmonic techniques. He is presently jamming with a full band of some of the best theory based musicians that the East coast has to offer. It will take time and the support of people, but one thing is for sure, a new era of music is coming. SO BE PREPARED!
Please note, my original site was phished about three months ago. The person that did it can kiss my heiny. Please enjoy the music, the old site had over 7000 friends in only a few months. Please show support for the many hours I have spent composing and producing if you like the material.
