I have been playing guitar for 23 years. Right now I mostly play in the band Without Wanting. It is a Christian rock/alternative band. I attend and play guitar at Crossroads church in Lafayette, Louisiana. I have been playing and attending there for 8 years. I have just been in Without Wanting for 2 years or so. I am fortunate enough to have a local artist endorsement with the most wonderful guitar company in the world, Tom Anderson Guitarworks. These great instruments feature the Buzz Feiten tuning system. If you haven't heard of it or heard it you are missing out. For the first time all the open chords sound in tune as well as up and down the neck.
I try to praise God with the music I play. I am not against playing bars and in cover bands but I still wear Christ on my sleeve.

When a man loves a woman Track number: 2 Year: 2007 Album: Crossroads church service Genre: Blues
This was recorded live for one of our services at Crossroads. The singer was Tony Goulas, an all around great guy, awesome guitarist and singer. Sometimes God gives so much to one person and not enough to another.So anyway I handled all the lead work. It was mostly improvised.
