British-American who looks and sounds the part of an 80s thrash metal guitarist. Classically trained. Was rhythm guitarist in a death metal band along time ago and played in an Irish folk band for many years as a youth making money to pay for electric guitars! Played acoustic on and off for years and decided to take the lead guitar pro level because I want to preserve this amazing era of metal in an ocean of modern bands that lack edge and just don’t have the vibe of the original thrash bands.

Influences
Dave mustaine- also classically trained and I like to play those blisteringly fast acoustic picking progressions like him.
Dime - very aggressive when needed and I’ll channel explosive energy into my playing.
Hammett - lots of bluesy soloing and heavy emphasis on melody.
EVH. Eruption is the holy grail.
