ABOUT

Like a Nintendo gone berserk!

Pro guitarist with international radio airplay and great album reviews for an instrumental guitar album. Played on major release soundtracks. Well versed in the studio as well as live. Was ranked number one guitarist overall in the world in the massive worldwide guitar competition (guitarwar). Authored books on songwriting, music theory, and technical guitar playing as well as DVD instructionals. Ranked as one of the top shredders ever on a few websites. No ego, just drive to not suck. Album sales from guitar9 have been in the top 10 worldwide in three genres at once as well as overall. (Competing with, and sometimes beating giant names in instrumental guitar like Vai, Satriani and Malmsteemn's albums)

Solid vocals as lead and as harmony (blends well and holds harmony)

Plays some keys as well.

Knows how to work a crowd, interact and hold it down too.
