ABOUT

The song that inspired me to learn the guitar was “Holiday” by Green Day. I can bring a calm stage presence playing softer country, folk, or pop while also being an animalistic metal head-hunter. Take your pick. I’m looking for a talented group and musicians who can give me constructive criticism.

I run a sales team and company which takes most of my time but financially I’m very happy about where I’m at and how that’s developing so I want to jump more into my passion for music.

The typical song will take me 1 day to 1 week to learn the most important parts and then to develop the musicality necessary to hammer it home in a group or show. I learned the song “Neon” by John Mayer in about 2 hours and then took 2 days to develop the right mechanics to actually make it sound good.

At one point in time I could play a part of, if not the entirety, of every single Led Zeppelin song that exists. Those times have passed but I could learn them again easily.

I have dived straight into the deepest end of metal because I believe it to be close to the pinnacle of modern guitar mastery. And it melts your damn face. However, I absolutely love jazz and alternative music including country and blues.

Still working on this. But I can sing country, folk, blues, and pop in most mid-range tenor notes. I believe I could easily surprise people and take on a lot of genres.

In my metal singing I’ve really only developed my lower range growls which are pretty decent. Working on expanding this repertoire.
