ABOUT

I'm FRANKY , founder of 90s BOSTON METALCORE BANDS TRIPHAMMER and EVERY SECOND ... I've been a lead guitarist for thirty + years and I've gigged , recorded and toured extensively... I'm teaching guitar these days but i still want to play my own ORIGINAL HEAVY OR EXTREME ROCK , and PROGRESSIVE HARDCORE METAL... I love alotta music , I'm fluent in jazz and blues. I can play like B.B. KING or Eddie Van Galen.

I'm looking for players with competent skills in progressive blues rock of classic 70s (DEEP PURPLE , ZEPPELIN , CREAM even the likes of STEELY DAN and ALLMAN BROTHERS , FRANK ZAPPA , THE STONES... MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA). My videos will tell you a lot.

TRIPHAMMER was my metal band (see videos for us in 92-94 for our early MAIDEN , RUSH , METALLICA type thrash) We changed in 1995 when Barry Spillberg , the drummer from WARGASM joined us and we became much harder and stripped down METALCORE , cro mags ,sick of it all , pantera type grooves). The videos of Shred Blues show my playing these days which is based on improvised soloing... But I still want to play heavy sh*t... These days i'm mostly interested in eclectic psychedelic jazzrock like HOT RATS by ZAPPA and STONER SLUDGE METAL of "Kyuss", "Queens Of The Stone Age", "Fu Manchu" "Baroness" "Whalerider" but I love classic rock and classic metal of late seventies... I write original music but I'm a great for teamwork... I love improvising and I have the ability to do it extremely well having had experience with blues and jazz for so long... I'm a mahavishnumetal guitarist .
