SEEKING

ABOUT

I am open to discussing your passions, goals and commitment level and how I could fit in that. I have written, recorded and played live from hard, southern rock, country to praise and worship. I love playing live and entertaining. I can sing, play guitar, perform and am growing in music production. I can fill in, be a permanent member of a band or help you produce a demo. I'm in my forties and have a career. So, I would probably best fit with musicians 30-40, those needing a guitarist/vocalist to fill in or as a regular member.

Influences

Classic rock, country pop-rock, southern rock, some instrumentalists and contemporary Christian guitarists/artists have influenced me. I like Mowtown/R&B. Neal Schon from Journey (& those influencing him), is my main influence as a guitarist. I've been influenced by instrumentalists like BB King, Phil Keagy, Tommy Emanuel, Steven Curtis Chapman, Eric Johnson, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen and Ozielzinho-anyone soulful and who makes the guitar sing. I continue to explore other styles for fun, learn from online contacts and playing with others. I studied under Andy Gurly very briefly. Gurly is a Nashville session player who often tours supporting big names.

EQUIPMENT

Electric acoustic, Burny Les Paul with sustainer, Seymore Duncan in the bridge and tremello system, Gibson Epiphone Les Paul, Ibanez RG Series and Helix effects. Running split Classic 30 amp and 2X12 Marshall with an amazing tone. I usually mic when I do play live auditoriums. I record rough sketches open mic at home, which is what you will hear below on this platform. (I'll add more soon to demonstrate my limitations and versatility). I think what I do would sound better with professional production and support.
