ABOUT

I am Michael and I have been working as a guitarist and guitar music instructor in Vancouver BC since 2010, it’s been a consistent side gig throughout my days from college to my full time day job until the pandemic came , I’ve started playing more music and gigs again since 2022.
My experiences involved playing in original bands, providing live music in restaurants, playing top 40 gigs, casino gigs, corporate party gigs, wedding gigs, music festivals as well as music events in the Chinese community such as concerts, singing contests. I also have experience working in studio with singer songwriters, contributing to ideas , arrangements and composing. I teach guitar to kids and adults during weeknights or weekends as a private instructor at home , used to work for a couple of music schools in Richmond.

Influences

I listen to everything as light as blues and fusion (SRV, Hendrix, John Mayer, Michael Landau,Robben Ford, Joe Bonamassa, Matt Schofield, Josh Smith, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Philip Sayce etc.) to as heavy as Alternative Rock/Classic Rock/Punk/Metal ( Metallica, Pantera, Dream Theater, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Sum-41 etc.) and everything in between. Of course all the big name guitar heroes that everyone likes (Vai, Satriani, EJ, Andy Timmons, Paul Gilbert etc.) I remember Linkin Park’s Brad Delson being my very first guitar hero, and later on I discovered a guy named Richie Kotzen who got me into the whole lead guitar improv shred phase. Sometimes I try to listen to stuff that are not necessarily guitar centric, like Classical, Jazz or just pop songs. I also practice a bit of classical guitar.
