I come from a very musically inclined family. Learned percussion at 13 years old. Became extremely good, playing gigs at a Kentucky night spot for teens only at 15. Became bored with drums and had already started playing rhythm guitar by 14 as well. 100% into both rhythm and soloing now. I study lead theory and practice minimum of 5 to 7 hours, 7 days a week. I am 110% dedicated to becoming a fluent solo player and have a robotic daily work ethic where I make myself put the guitar down. Love writing and creativity while alone, and love it even more with others, and learning from them. Licks, riffs, progressions,etc, I am very good friend to 75% or more club owners in my area, so gigs are no issue. Really interested also in learning from one another, and putting a 4 or 5 set song list together, getting everything tight to play some gigs.
