About Me

I have been playing guitar for 24 years now. It's been a long road, and there is still so much to learn. Like many people who pick up an instrument, they were influenced by someone to play their instrument of choice. My influneces are varied. From big names like Zakk Wylde, Randy Rhoads, George Lynch, Joe Perry, and Warren DiMartini, to local Indianapolis musicians who in one way or another have helped shape where I am now. (Whether in the past or just recently.) These people include Dino Codalata, Troy Seele, Shawn Kern, Mike Osborn, Bill and Jason Hayes, and Orvis Kirkman. I love to play whenever and whereever I can. It's a rush. I may not be Steve Vai on the guitar, but I still love the instrument. I also play guitar for the local Indianapolis band Common Ground. Come out and check us out and say "Howdy"

Neal Schon
