About
Been playing for over 45 years; I study and practice a lot. I like fusion/jazz the most, such as DiMeola, Corea, Coryell, & McLaughlin, in addition to blues, classic rock, and traditional & Latin jazz. Looking for a very good drummer to join my bassist and me. Can read music but mostly play by ear. I pick things up very quickly. Please check out my web site: http://howardblackmusic.com
Influences
Early: Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Page, etc. Current: DiMeola, Gambale, Coryell, Carlton, Pass, Benson (early), Metheny, etc.
Equipment List
Many amps, from several small practice to Marshall full stack. About 20 guitars - many Les Pauls, Joe Pass Epiphone, older Ovation Legend and Ovation DiMeola signature model, and many misc. axes. Effects rack with around 15 pedals, but I'm trying to make the transition to a Line 6 Stompbox Modeler (M13).
