About Me

I'm in the band Hemsko. I want to inspire people to want to take their music more seriously and reach for their highest potential as a musican. My brother in law is the reason I wanted to play guitar I guess, not real sure what made me want to originaly. He used to be in a band and I thought that was the coolest thing when I was little. I started playing guitar in the very begining of my 9th grade year and was drawn towards Led Zeppelin and similar bands. I quickly discovered Dream Theater and Black Label Society. My friend was into Pantera and Slayer at that time and I listened to alittle Pantera, but never got hooked on Slayer. Metallica's album Master of Puppets is what sealed my love of metal. My brother in law then began to direct me toward Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix and Joe Satriani. From there my love of guitar virtuostiy grew and I discoverd Steve Vai, who's music I love as much as Randy Rhoads, Michael Angelo Batio, Yngwie Malmsteen, Eric Johnson, Ritchie Blackmore, Vivian Campbell, John Sykes and Buckethead ect. METAL!!!

Which Guitar Player Are You?

Randy Rhoads
You are Randy Rhoads! You died before you were ever able to reach your full potential, and you started very young and were a good teacher even in your teens. You were with Ozzy for a number of years before you were killed in a plane crash, induced by your own doing. You will be remembered forever.

Bleed Black Label

I'm determined to see Zakk Wylde soon, hopefully on the Shot to Hell tour with BLS. I kinda want to see him with Ozzy but I would be afraid to go to an Ozzy show.
