About

Seasoned guitar w/ solid chops. Have played the local cover band circuit, but have been out of the scene for a half dozen years. Anxious to play again.

I'm an excellent #2 guitarist (know what and when to play, and how to let a song breathe), and can play plenty of leads on the right songs. (Not a shredder.) Mesh very well with great lead players.

White collar guy by day, so don't need to make money at this. Just want to do it right, and with good people. Would enjoy gigging once or twice a month.

Check out my mp3s. You'll hear me playing all parts, except for the backing track on Santana's Europa. These were all one or two take recordings done in my simple home studio. (Hence the compressed sound.) Left the occasional flub in, to show ya' I'm human :-))

Influences

Broad range of musical interests. Enjoy classic rock, modern rock, country, alt country, modern country, R&B, funk... Have gone to see AC/DC, Sugarland, and Counting Crows in the same Summer concert season, and enjoyed them all. My guitar playing draws from all corners of the music scene.

Equipment List

Amps: Vintage and modern Marshalls and Fenders. Guitars: Fender Strates and Tele, Gibson Les Paul. Floorboard: Have the analog behemoth, but also have a Digitech RP1000. Use the latter for practice and recording, may use it live too.
