About
Two recording made in a home studios. On the first track by Chic, keyboards created a midi track to mimic the vocals. My guitar track (only one track) is played live with no overdubbing. Although this track is not a characteristic example of my guitar style or musical preferences, it does demonstrate my ability on guitar to play rhythm guitar and maintain a concise meter or timing on guitar along with good guitar tone. On the second track (My Best Friends Girlfriend) we are playing live in the studio and I am playing all guitars and singing backing vocals. This song demonstrates again my rhythm guitar playing and also showcases my lead guitar playing. I did this in one take live on site, the overdubbing of some rhythm guitar parts was done by the soundman after the recording was performed. The two samples recordings should give a good idea of what I can bring to the table in a band situation. My first priority in any music ensemble, is to sound good and to me that equals good guitar tone and rhythmic timing.
Influences
What a hard question to answer! Lots of influences both as a fan of particular artists or bands or as on an indivdual level with the musicians I have known and played with. I am at home with rock, funk, alternative, jazz, blues, etc. Hope you get the picture but I like and will play a lot of stuff. I would like to meet other artists that want to do originals and not just be in a "parrot" cover band, but I won't rule out any good situation with a good group of musicians. The "orignal" thing is why I like blues and jazz so much because I don't ever have to play the same thing over and over again, I love to improvise chords and melody, especially with a tight group of musicians that life for the moment to capture a groove live and feed off of it to create something unique and creative.
Equipment List
To much to list. Some of the pictures I posted will give you an idea. Tone is what I am after.
