Been playing guitar for 15+ years. Focusing heavy on lead guitar for the last two. Exploring modes, solo improvisation, reading tabs/sheets, alternate picking runs, sweep picking, hybrid picking, chordal theory, and other shred oriented technique. Significantly comfortable (if not too comfortable) in pentatonic shapes, so blues and standard rock is easy peasy. Any standard rock/pop tracks should find an easy spot for my style. However, metal and progressive metal are my true passion, and what I'm striving towards at this point in my life.
