ABOUT

I'm a guitarist in search of a band. I'm not picky about what type, be it rock, punk, ska, jazz, folk, pop, country, etc.. I just want to start playing live shows again. My main experience has been with punk/ska bands so I'm more at home there, but I've been playing guitar (electric, acoustic, and classical) for about 10 years now, so if I don't know the style I can learn. I'm always open to learning new skills or styles on guitar. My dream is to play with bands that tour locally, nationally, and internationally. I've also started experimenting with Electronic music, so I have the equipment to write/record it, but nothing to play it live with.

Influences

This is a hard one since I play whatever I find that I like the sound of, but I guess I could say: NoFX, Lagwagon, Reel Big Fish, Less than Jake, Metallica, Megadeth, Sor, Terrega, Tommy Emmanuel (wish I could finger pick like him, working on it). Also video game music like Super Mario Bros., Guilty Gear XX, and Castlevania. J-pop and Anime bands. Any Jazz or gypsy/folk piece thrown my way. I love it all.

EQUIPMENT

Gibson Les Paul Studio, Ovation Celebrity Acoustic/Electric, and a Lag Classical/Electric. My Amp is a Crate GTD65 Combo; not the greatest little amp, but has never failed me and I love it.
