First Of All I'm A Multi-Instrumentalist Not A Band Every Thing You Hear Was Written And Tracked By Me...
"I got ahold of a flying V at about 3 years old and didn't stop there, adding Lead guitar,Rhythm guitar, 6 string Acoustic 12 string acoustic, Piano, Drums, Bass and Keys & anything else I can get my hands on.
Everything is self taught and played by ear, so when it comes to improvising I can rock it in one take one track every time, rather its a lead drum's etc. Im ready to go.
Im highly influenced by Classic rock, 80's rock Hard rockPower ballads & Blues which akes my playing very stylistic full of inverted twisted chords, vibrato, pinch harmonics & a few of my own techniques that i have developed over time

You rock, love the sound, hope you find what you are looking for, or maybe you are what someone else is looking for. Just remember, " . . . all this machinery making modern music, can it still be open hearted . . ?" Yes and you can make it that way. Emotions give wings to the lyrics and the guitar and the bass etc, keep it real. Craig
