I am a 20 year old college student from Marietta, Georgia. I have been playing guitar since the age of 11. I was brought up as a blues rhythm guitar player, but as I've grown as a musician I started playing lead.
I have had very little formal musical training, but I more than make up for it in dedication, practice, creativity, and musical maturity.
I feed off of inspiration, and challenges, and need to find other serious, open minded musicians, to grow as one myself.
On a side note: I am currently enrolled as a Photography major at the Art Institue of Atlanta, and as such I have a vast experience with photography, and photographic manipulation. As such I can, and have previously produced album covers, and artwork for bands. I also have limited experience with audio production, and can produce high quality amateur recordings using my MacBook Pro.
I am here to find other musicians as serious as I am about growth, productivity, and meeting goals.
I am here to find other musicians, whom I can grow with, and who can help me truly make something of my talents, and abilities.

MUSIC
-
Ambient Blues in D Minor (Original Recording)
Ambient Blues in D Minor (Original Recording) Year: 2006 Genre: Alternative
Recorded this over six months ago, and never really spent the time it deserved on post production. It's a little rough but serves as a decent example of some of my guitar playing.
-
Determined and Crashing (Unfinshed)
Determined and Crashing (Unfinshed) Year: 2006 Genre: Classic Rock
Something I recorded one day, while jamming along with a relatively common chord progression. It is unfinished, and there are some noticeable errors in the rhythm guitar playing due to my inexperience with audio production.
-
Ambient Blues in D Minor (2nd Revision)
Ambient Blues in D Minor (2nd Revision) Year: 2006
The second revision I made to Ambient Blues, with added drums, improved rhythm guitar, and some background lead guitar fills, to act as bass, since I don't own one to record with.
