ABOUT

ive been playing guitar for about 4 years now and i picked it up quite quickly. im a front man for the last band i was in and wrote all the songs for it which is about 16 finished well polished songs. i am crazy about the guitar and picked up singing along the way and just eventually learned how to write. im always learning new things since music is pretty much my means of life. my band broke up in a way. mainly our bassist left cause he was pretty messed up at the time. but the drummer ive got is wicked sick and hes got the beats . i am into so many different styles of playing that i dont know where i would classify myself. i can shred, i can play that soft blues. i can give that build up that keeps the people on their feet. i may have only been playing for around 4 years but i know what im doing and i get better as the days go on. at first it was just learning to play songs. now ive written lyrics and guitar to alot of songs which i can bring with me to jams to show whats up. if ya want to jam just let me know. im always down for a little jazzy fissle.
