Bio
Gannin Arnold knew he wanted to play guitar from a young age, inspired by the metal band videos that were being shown on MTV. His first teacher, Adam St. James, introduced him to the music of guitarists who would have a lasting impact on his own playing, including Jeff Beck, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Allan Holdsworth, Brian May, Larry Carlton, Frank Zappa and more. He cut his teeth playing clubs with his High School fusion band “Minimum 3” and had the chance to open for some pretty heavy weight fusions acts like The Yellowjackets, Billy Cobham, Stanley Jordan and guitar legend Scott Henderson. Henderson was impressed with Gannin enough to welcome him as a private student and it was under his tutelage that Gannin’s playing grew in leaps and bounds. Over the years, Gannin has recorded and toured the world with known artists in both the Rock/Pop and Jazz arenas, including Cheap Trick, John Tesh, Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, Jeff Berlin, and Brian Bromberg. When Foo Fighter’s drummer Taylor Hawkins put his own band together ("Taylor Hawkins and The Coattail Riders") he chose Gannin to cover the guitar chair. Gannin has also been recording and touring with one of his guitar heroes, Joe Walsh. Aside from touring and being in demand as a studio musician, writer and producer on projects ranging from Artist CDs to Film & Television, Gannin has recently finished his first solo CD "Not From Here". This CD will feature musicians Jimmy Chamberlin, Taylor Hawkins, Stephen Perkins, Simon Phillips, Pat Mastelotto, Rudy Sarzo, Tony Levin, Tim Landers and more. Performed/Recorded with: Cheap Trick, Joe Walsh, Taylor Hawkins and The Coattail Riders, Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, Dave Grohl, Brian May and Roger Taylor (Queen), Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Jeff Berlin, Vernon Reid, Brian Bromberg, K'Naan, Jeff Lorber, Lee Ritenour, and George Duke. .......... ....This profile was edited with ..Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
