About Me

Thanks for visiting my personal corner of the universe. I am a mainly self taught guitarist from the northern bay area. I grew up skateboarding and listening to Black Flag, The Decendents, Bad Brains, Minor Threat and Operation Ivy. One of my early memories learning guitar was discovering my dad's record collection in the garage. That collection introduced me to early Van Halen, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Peter Frampton and a bunch of other killer shit. I was also introduce early on to traditional blues as my dad was a great blues harmonica player and would make me play straight 12 bar with him for hours at a time. Now I guess you could say my playing incorporates a lot of my early influences yet also blending with new influences, Phish, UM, Scofield, Kraz, Garaj Mahal, GLove etc. So thats all for now, thanks again. peace.Guitarist for the group Critical Measures Trio: CM3 myspace.com/criticalmeasures3
