BRYAN BETTS : GUITAR/GUITAR SYNTH:
influenced by the Beatles, Eric Johnson, Shawn Lane, Scott McGill and a myriad of other outstanding musicians, Bryan devotes countless hours to practice and study. Still taking lessons with Ken Rohrbach Jr., this dedication to guitar and music reflects in his playing. "I am still trying to advance beyond technique and explore pure musical thought. Trying to become more Zen"... Always a favorite on the local scene and a shock to the system of first time listeners.
