About Me
I play music on a part-time basis. There's a lot of things about guitar playing that I am yet to learn. Used to play with a number of outfits including Exit, New Clear, SYJ (before they were famous) and May during their early days i.e. before the Battle of the Bands, Blitzkrieg (ITMJO)and Try.... During those times, I admit I sucked, big time....Currently I am playing with UiTM's Symphony Orchestra, as well as some other bands including backing my buddy Zubira and lately an acoustic outfit, Nuansa and AO Project. My influences include Ritchie Blackmore, Michael Schenker, Gary Moore, Carlos Santana, Don Felder, Joe Walsh, Uli Jon Roth, Mathias Jabs, Eric Clapton, Steve Lukather, George Benson, Masayoshi Takanaka, Eric Johnson, David Gilmour, Vivian Campbell and Jimmy Page to name a few. On the local scene, among my favourite guitarists are Aji, Sham K, Simon Justin Leo, Paul Ponnudurai, Fauzi Marzuki, Uncle Tik and Buquari(my guitar mentors), and of course, Zubira.Lately, I have been listening a lot to Tommy Emanuel...he's amazing.My gear:1998 American Standard Fender Stratocaster; formerly owned by Aji; Customized at Klasika A (GG) Custom Shop...
