Hey there!!
A bit about myself:
I'm 37 years old...My life itself has taken some crazy turns (losing my first wife to cancer, back in 1997), and now I am re-married with a 1 year old daughter....life could not be better!
I'm really fortunate...music (playing, writing, recording, arranging) is all I do for a living...
I've been playing for 25 years and the last 13 have been professionally...
My main musical styles are fusion, jazz, blues...but I play just about everything, not to limit myself...
My influences are very diverse, but fusion being the main thing:
Scott Henderson, Mike Landau, Pat Metheny being the main 3...
I taught guitar and theory privately for 4 years from 1992-1996, going to students homes...had to streamline my schedule so I don't do it on a regular basis anymore...
Last year, I was very fortunate to have my CD released on Allan Holdsworth's label, Gnarly Geezer Records...
From that release, I received some great feedback from Steve Vai, Brett Garsed, Derryl Gabel, Shane Theriot, Greg Koch, Rusty Cooley...
This year, I have switched labels to Progressive Arts Music, and have re-released the C.D.
For this re-release, I went back into the studio and wrote 3 bonus tracks, and beefed up the guitar parts and the overall mix, making it a much better disc...(I also enhanced the C.D. with about 80 minutes of bonus mp3s in CD-ROM format, and 3 live video clips)
I was very fortunate to have released this only a couple of weeks ago to some very encouraging reviews... (CLICK HERE TO VIEW)
Though I don't teach anymore, I still have a passion for helping people and if I can do that here in this forum, great!!
Here are some clips of my playing, if anyone's interested:
