Eddie Van Halen, The Beatles, Mike Keneally, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Howe, Ben Folds, Paul Gilbert, Eric Johnson, Tenacious D, Miles Davis, Jonny J. Licksteen, Rush, Stu Blade, Jerry Cantrell, Yngwie Malmsteen, Weezer, Brian Wilson.
Sounds Like
If Eric Johnson partied more and practiced less, if Paul McCartney or John Lennon wrote songs for Alice in Chains, if Ben Folds played heavy rock guitar instead of piano, if Frank Zappa joined Rush and didn't let Neil Peart write the lyrics, if Eddie Van Halen joined the Beatles, if Led Zeppelin didn't take themselves so seriously and didn't have a kickass lead singer, if Tenacious D took themselves more seriously and didn't have a kickass lead singer, if Mike Keneally wasn't as adept with odd time signatures and didn't have perfect pitch and wasn't the greatest musician in the world, if Cheap Trick had a shredding guitarist and wackier sense of humor, if Jimi Hendrix took guitar lessons from Iron Maiden, if Simon and Garfunkel wrote songs for Metallica, if Steve Howe grew up playing 80's metal, if Yngwie Malmsteen thought to himself "hmmm, maybe it's time to try something different... "
if I had gone to GIT in the early 80's and then joined Racer X and then Mr. Big and was huge in Japan and then released several awesome solo albums I might sound like Paul Gilbert.
I'd chop off my testicles if I could sound like Stevie Wonder circa 1970 to 1978.
My mission is to rock on guitar.
I like to play fast and loud, and sometimes slow and pretty.
I play guitar for X-Krush and a bunch of other stuff.
Come see X-Krush...we'll do our best to rip your head off.
I am endorsed by Paul Reed Smith guitars...I still can't believe it! I play a PRS McCarty (that I paid for) and they've loaned me a Custom 24.
I also love Fender Stratocasters...
I have been featured in Guitar Player and Guitar World Magazine.
I sing halfway decently, play a respectable bass guitar, and am very crappy at keyboards and drums. I am an excellent whistler!
My first solo album, "Toast," came out in 2006. Check it out (or possibly buy a copy) if you get a chance.

If I were in charge of things, I would make it mandatory for all school children to listen to every Beatles song 10 times by the time they were 6 yrs. old. I would also make it mandatory for all school children to listen to every Roth-era Van Halen song 25 times by the time they were 12....and Radiohead Ok Computer, and all Yes between 70 and 77, and Stevie Wonder Songs in the Key of Life, and Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland, and Metallica Master of Puppets, and Miles Davis In a Silent Way, and Mike Keneally Dancing, and Led Zeppellin Physical Graffiti, and Paul Gilbert Burning Organ prior to graduation.
Offering killer deals!...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS!
Just wondering if anyone wanted to have some art done; I'm in dire need of the work so feel free to check out my albums and pass the word. Also doing trades, and willing to travel a bit if necessary...Preferably for tattoo parties if that's a concept. I also do traditional art, photo-retouching and fixing, graphic design, freelance research and writing, (I'm sort of a Jack-of-All-Trades), portraitures, etc...
SPREAD THE WORD!
Also, check out some of my original music here on my profile playlist if you haven't already and let me know what you think.

I had my marketing cap on about a week ago and with all the bad news; the Taliban in Pakistan, the looming Chyrsler bankruptcy, the new flu epidemic, etc; I decided to go with a more optimistic theme for this summer in a bumper sticker (old school). I think its working. There are currently a little more than 50 cars in the Branson area sporting this lil’ beauty. (Yes, I comped them) What do you think?
LOL As statistics will show, Mark, Tommy and are were of average height and I think the night that pic was taken, you had to have been wearing a pair of KISS boots to go along with your Adrian Smith cloned stage attire. LMAO
