About Me

Probably a musician by birth as I tapped my foot to life. I feel i am not your typical guitarist because I think more about the drums and bass to realize about the guitar too much. Though it is a wonderful instrument, probably the best, with bending, harmonics, tapping, slapping, harmonizing, whammy bars, distortion, wah wah, kick assedness, it just rules. I suppose that's why i became interested.I am into innovating, I'm not interested in playing the same old thing, all the time. Improv is just how I am as a person in music and life. I am interested in all that it has to offer, from jazz to 12 tone, to fusion to jam to simple 1 chord vamps to many changes fast in many keys.I like all types of music from big band jazz to liszt to palestrina to prince to vai to jeff beck to meshuggah, there is nothing i won't at least give some chance. I think as musicians it is our responsibility to make advances and make changes, to push the envelope. You may say no one will listen, but if it is good they will. Keep trying I know I will, let us be creative and open minds.
I played on a revolutionary album of fretless guitarist from all around the world. Find out more info at.....

Ceterum no more
