Early influences included Guns n Roses, Extreme, Queen, Van halen and Joe Satriani.Andy has been working on a string of instructional dvd's for licklibrary.com under the tiltle "Metal Edge" which will be out early 2007. Also due for release this year is Andy's second album "In the Wake of Chaos" for Grooveyard Records.Andy is also available for session work, teaching, touring and recording sessions.
