Fire at Mann Gulch was just awarded
Best Guitars in Rock, week of 21Apr2008
********Update April 8, 2008***********
I'm pleased to post the finished version of "Fire at Mann Gulch" on
my page. This song features 3 My Space guitarists. I play the
rhythmn guitars as well as the intro and the ending. Denny
Goodridge from Florida plays the first part of the solo which goes
from 2:05 to about 2:24. Sinisha Cekic from Serbia plays the next
part of the solo from 2:24 to 2:46. Denny plays again from about 2:46
to 2:56. Each guitarist has a distinct style so I think it will be clear to
the listener when one guitarist stops and the other starts.
Both Denny and Sinisha have MySpace pages so check them out.
Denny's song Cyclops Island was 1 on the Garageband.com
Instrumental Rock charts and he has some awesome tunes. Sinisha
has a very fluid, amazing style and I think you will enjoy his playing
as well.
Enjoy! Eric

Eric Farmer has played the guitar since age 10 and is primarily
self-taught. He is influenced by many great guitarists. His first real
influences were Jimi Hendrix, Joe Perry and the guitarists in Southern
Rock bands like Lynard Skynard and Blackfoot. Eddie Van Halen,
Randy Rhoads, Alex Lifeson and Al Di Meola were heavy influences
in the 80s. While Eric is influenced by all these guitarists, he sounds
like none of them.
Eric has played in bands almost continually since age 14. From 1986
to 1988 he played full time in an East Coast rock band called the
Sparkplugs. The Sparkplugs played up and down the East Coast as
well as in the Caribbean. After this experience he played part-time for
several years in another East Coast band called The Ride.
Since 1999, he has played in RiversEdge - a
band that has recorded two albums.
