Myself...maybe a hybrid mix of Michael Schenker, Gary Moore and Larry Carlton.
I have a few rough tunes I hope you enjoy, a video of me flopping around the fretboard and some pics of my axe collection. They're in order...An early 90's Jackson Soloist AT Pro-mahogany body w/ flame maple top, set maple neck w/ ebony fingerboard, customized with early 80's Seymour Duncan Seymourizer II neck pickup and a Duncan Distortion bridge pickup, both w/ push pull coil splitting, also Planet Waves locking/cutting tuners...a 1984 Carvin DC200 Stereo-eastern hardrock maple body and set neck w/ ebony fingerboard, Kahler locking vibrato, brass nut, Carvin M22 neck and C22 bridge pickups...and finally, a 2005 LTD/ESP Hybrid-400-mahogany body, set mahogany neck w/ rosewood fingerboard, customized with a Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge position and a GFS Lil' Puncher Modern Humbucker in the neck, a Stew-Mac Black Ice onboard overdrive in place of the normal passive tone control plus Grover mini locking tuners.
My main amp is a Tech 21 Trademark 30. A great small gig/recording/practice amp. All the features you could possibly want in compact 14 lb. package...all analog circuitry, active tone controls, effects loop, true Accutronics spring reverb, XLR out, speaker out...this thing is a monster. The tone is amazing...everything from Fender to Marshall to Mesa Boogie...all through the same emulation as their famous SansAmp GT2 technology. One of the best amps I've owned...a complete package.
Aside from the guitars and the funny pictures of me, you will see many of my favorite players. The captions describe their influences.
Peace,
Schenka
