Influences

Randy Rhoads, Joe Satriani, Dave Mustaine, Beethoven, Hendrix, Eric Johnson, just to name a couple.

Grew up on Metallica (pre-black album), Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax. Trained classically for a bit, Bach translates well to the classical. Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, 90's rocked. Soft spot for 80s punk, Misfits, DRI, DOA, etc.. Enjoy Obituary and Deicide, but not looking to play any death metal at this time.

My musical taste and influences will vary and the list can be dynamic, depending on whatever musical phase I may be encountering.

EQUIPMENT

I mostly play ibanez Jems. My main axe is a 2003 JEM 7VHWH(?). I have a handful of ESP's (KH Zombie, GL), ZW Les Paul, Dave Mustaine Dean RiP V, Satriani Chrome Boy. It would probably be easier to send a pic of my guitars.

Playing through an Orange 4x12 and a Helix Rack processor. I maintain a small studio in my home. I can direct track and mic the room, I run everything through Pro Tools currently, but am in the process of migrating over to Logic.
