ABOUT

I have been playing guitar for 30 years and 20 of them in various bands. I like most styles of music and can gig at least twice a week.
I played with Phineas.J.Whoopie, Altrasound and most resent Ryan Stone Music, all of which are on My Space, and You Tube. My guitar sound is very distinct with delays and long echos with chorus to distortion with with synthesizer-effects. I like to push the envelope and can create on the spot.
