SEEKING
Vocalist - Alto, Drums, Bass Guitar, Vocalist - Soprano, Vocalist - Tenor, Vocalist - Baritone.ABOUT
I'm an experienced lead guitarist. I studied at Musician's Institute in Hollywood and I've been playing for over 25 years. I'm considered a shredder but I don't overplay or try to take over the spotlight. My soloing is somewhat a combination of the following players: Uli Roth/Malmsteen, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, a bit of Ritchie Blackmore/Angus Young and a mean bluesy tone similar to Gary Moore. My rhythm playing is dynamic and my timing is near perfect, as long as the drummer is on time. My rhythm style is a cross between Sabbath and Ozzy, Megadeth/Metallica, Van Halen, Judas Priest, AD/DC, to name a few. I also down tune to A# and with that I tend to do very catchy hooks, ala Rammstein, one of the few modern bands I listen to.
