ABOUT

Looking for musicians with whom to collaborate and geek out about music on the weekends. No pressure, no goals, not going to cost us any money, just get together and jam and do it for the sake of doing it. I've played in bands and done sessions and shows. I like to take deep dives down musical rabbit holes: music theory, music history, analyzing different artist, tuning systems, rhythmic concepts, mathematics in music, recording/production techniques, instrument design and construction.

Influences

There are so many but Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi and Joe Bonamassa are the chief influences in my guitar playing. I also draw from players like Eddie Van Halen, Dan Donegan, John Frusciante, Dimebag, Steve Vai, Django Reinhardt, SRV and Tony McManus. Sabbath and Zeppelin are my main bands and I'm also really into Slade, Bad Haggis, the Real McKenzies, Disturbed, Queen, Godsmack, the Beatles, Pink Floyd and so many others. As far as songwriting goes there's none better than Warren Zevon, Tom Waits, and John Hiatt.

EQUIPMENT

Custom Warmoth Strat, Epiphone Les Paul Standard Heavily Modded, Heavily Modded Squier Strat, Washburn DD60, I've also got a couple of acoustics, a parlor size, a 12 string and a Gypsy guitar, my amplifier set up is a 200 watt Quilter Tone Block and I use a couple pedals essentially as preamps to get the sound I'm after while the Tone Block makes it as loud as I need it to be, I've gotten some really good results with this set up.
