I'm just a regular guy who likes to make music. I'm on time, I do my homework, and I play guitar very well. I'm looking for a fun, all-pro band with a light schedule of festival jobs, bars, etc.

Influences:

I'm a product of the 80's. EVH, Shenker, etc. As I approach 40, I find myself listening to and playing more and more funk/motown stuff and newer singer/songwriter (i.e. John Mayer).

Equipment List:

I have a lot of stuff. The guitar I'm playing most right now is an American Deluxe HSS Strat. I also have another Strat, a Tele, a Les Paul, and others. I also build guitars for a living, so there are usually a half dozen of my own instruments hanging around (see gallery).

My main amp is a Fender Super-Sonic with a very sparingly used TC Electronics G-major in the effects loop. I also have a Line 6 2-12, a Hughes & Kettner Combo, a Fender Blues Junior, and a Marshall JTM 45.

I have a fully equipped and sound-treated rehearsal/recording room in my home with a nice drum set, PA, keyboards, bass rig, and enough mics to record it all live.
