ABOUT

My mantra is: "It's not about what we want to play, it's about what THEY want to hear!" Ok, well maybe it's a little bit about what we want to play. :) I like doing the songs that everybody loves, but most bands don't do - the 1 hit wonders, the "I used to love that song back in the day..." kinda stuff. I love catching people off-guard and blowing their minds.

I've been playing guitar for as long as I can remember. I'm 100% self taught and play by ear. I have excellent timing and rhythm, I can rock out and even play metal, but my natural style is rather bluesy. Sort of Clapton-esque, Gilmour-ish, or SRV-ish with some Neal Schon & Randy Rhoads thrown in there. Makes sense, since that's what I used to play when I was a kid. I like a good sounding mix, not just balls-out guitar all the time. Above that, I love a great vocal harmony and sometimes I can contribute... sometimes not so much.

You can catch me on sswan72 at (gee-male-you-know-what-dot-with that thing at the end)

Oh yeah, and I also dabble on drums, bass and little piano/keyboards from time to time.
