I've been playing for 30 years now. Well versed in alot of different styles,but my first love is blues based rock 'n' roll.
Played in Chicago for 13 years . I think of myself as a total pro, reliable, sober and punctual. Played backup guitar with 'The Mitch Clark Band' also I hosted the Open jam at Bradenton Cigar Bar every Tuesday and Thursday I hosted the jam at Last Call Tavern 2604 Manatee Ave E. in Bradenton,I really enjoy meeting new musicians and of course always looking for new and interesting projects.

EQUIPMENT
I have several guitars and amplifiers,I like to keep my rig as simple as possible. A little delay here and there with a pinch of Wah. Wireless if need be. Weapon of choice Fender Strat, amps must be TUBE-ular !! BOTTOM LINE is great tone, pro gear and the ability to handle any live situation. Macbook Pro, garage band.
MUSIC

Sunset
Sunset Genre: Acoustic
This particular piece is just something I came up with really quickly one night at home. This entire recording took approx. 1 hour. All guitars and other stuff are me, drums are sampled. Kind of mellow, but peaceful.

Forked Road Quandrey
Forked Road Quandrey Track number: 2 Year: 2010 Album: Mark Skey Guitar Projects Genre: Alternative
I hate having to catagorize this stuff. On this I grabbed a slide and went for a real 'movie soundtrack type vibe'.
-
The Trail
The Trail Track number: 4 Year: 2010 Album: Mark Skey Guitar Projects Genre: Alternative
A pretty crazy track. Went for a much more rock out vibe here. Jeff Beck has been a big influence with some of his more 'electronic' material. All guitars are me. At least 4 guitar tracks layered on this one.
