My Guitars...
Proud to be a local Washington DC Musician
I've been a guitarist for over 25 years. . I'm also a classical guitarist, feel free to check out my other profile listed above for that page. In my past I've been the guitarist for such bands as "Nobodyz Kidz", "Ammann", "Kage", and most noteably "Dangerville".. plus a few other Baltimore bands not worth mentioning. As a teenager, I was a guitar teacher at the largest and most popular Guitar shop in Southern Maryland.. until I grew up and had to get a real job.
I recently started teaching again. If you're interested send me an email and we can discuss it. I'd prefer beginners.. nothing worse than arguing with guitar players who already think they know everything. I'm only doing one night a week for now so I'll be limited on who I can take. Some of my former students have performed in the local music scene for years.. and others just play for themselves. There are no rules... you can do whatever you want with it.
I've recently left the last band I was playing with. It was one of the worst experiences of my music carrer. I'd like to find, or create a new project with people who can respect eachother.. as well as keep up with one another's talent. Something I haven't experienced since my days in Dangerville. I'm very good at being a gun for hire if need be. If you are in a band that is having troubles with your guitarist and are weary about firing him because you have shows booked, I can learn your entire set list in a week to two weeks and be prepared to play a show asap...... but it's gonna cost you money!
I'd prefer to find a vocalist, bassist and drummer to start my own project. Please contact me if you are interested in playing. I cannot, and will not be in a two guitar player band. I've gotten scores of emails from Bands asking me to be thier second guitarist.......... I can't stress enough how much I cannot do that ....... the most annoying emails come from the bands who say " I know you said you didn't wanna be in a two guitar player band, but would you consider being in our two guitar player band??"
The two songs I have on this profile were written by me. I played all the instruments myself(the drums are not real)...... Both songs are copywritten.. So don't go playing them for other people and trying to say it's you.. :-P
I"ve pretty much reached the age where I no longer discuss my age.. don't ask and I wont have to lie.... I'm single, and NOT looking... I've never been married, and have no kids...I live alone in a towhouse I bought a while ago.. I work alot of hours at my day job and It hardly leaves time for much else. I'm a HUGE Washington Redskins and Baltimore Orioles fan.. Don't hate.. I realize my teams suck.. but they are my hometeams so I have to stick with them. I grew up about two or three miles from RFK stadium back in the glory days of the Redskins, not really a fan of the Washington Nationals ... therefore, the Baltimore Orioles are my baseball team. I do at least WORK in Baltimore.. so it's not that far of a stretch.
THINGS THAT I HATE:......I'm not really a fan of tattoos or piercings, reality TV, food that's good for you, religion, politics, Dallas Cowboy fans, My mortgage company, Drivers who don't immediately get out of my way when I'm on the road, Drugs, Martians, Whoever planted that tree about 100 years ago right where I was going to be driving back in 1999 (if they had planted it ten feet to the right I would have never hit it... the accident was totaly THIER fault) Ghosts, Bigfoot, Pedestrians who are walking on the sidewalk when I'm trying to drive on it, Yankee fans, Mass murderers, My Niehgbors, People who say "this only affects one out of every ten men...(because that ONE person they are talking about is usualy ME!), That little black cloud that follows me around and pours rain all over me on everyone else's sunny day, The Budwieser frogs, the talking baby on the etrade commercials, All those people who kicked my ass in high school.. when I grow up I'm gonna find them and... (well..nevermind... they'll still probably just kick my ass again)... People who write "your" when they are suppose to write "You're".. stupidity is one of my biggest pet Peeves. People who's screenames include the words "sexy" or "little" and they are 300 pounds, People who have the word "independent" in thier screenname and they are living at home with thier parents, Girls who have that folder labeled "photo shoot" and it's just them sitting on thier couch or back porch and thier bff took the pics, or people who can't speak proper English
.. words such as "dis, dat, wit, thu, muh, yo and dawg" do not exsit. If you speak like this,.. chances are, you're a moron... I'd prefer to be friends with intelligent people who can actualy hold a converstation (this doesn't apply to my close musician friends who can barely spell thier own names.. I'll make the exception if I already know you)
MY STAGE GEAR:
I have several guitars, My main guitar is an American BC Rich Assasin Pro (customized) and no it's not for sale.. everyone keeps asking me that :-/, I aslo have another American BC Rich assasin identical to the first one, with the exception of the custom paint job done by Jagged Edge Customs, A Gibson Les Paul 1960 Reissue Classic, A Gibson Les Paul Studio Flame top, a Charvel Model 4 ,an American Fender Strat, and Three top of the line Taylor Acoustics (six string, twelve string, and a Classical) >
The Stage gear consists of Two Marshall stacks with a single (brand new) Marshall JVM410 100 watt head, (it's freaking brutal) TC Electronic G Force, and the Axxon AX-100 midi guitar synthesiser.

You can just turn yourself around and come on home.....
