I'm an experienced Lead Guitarist with over 19 years of stage/studio/road work. Well traveled, dedicated, motivated, creative/innovative, (can be) technical, music theory knowledge, no bad habits, transportation (and don't mind travelling to practice as long as everyone else is dedicated!), pro gear, strong local/regional/national contacts, ready to work with a band with the same....
I'm level-headed and a voice of reason, constantly practicing multiple styles to improve style, improv and approach.
I'd prefer an established band, but have no problems working with a ground/start-up band. My only concern is working with dedicated musicians that want to work at being the best the band can be and have fun at the same time. As I always say "Practice like a pro, the rest comes naturally!"

Influences
Tons! I listen to just about everything and practice it as well. I was dubbed a "walking MP3 player" by my last band.
Don't be discouraged if you don't recognize my influences or get excited by them, it doesn't matter - you should hear what I do or what I've done in the past before you decide.
The guitarists below are just what intrigued me, not always necessarily their band they were in....
George Lynch, John Petrucci, Joe Satriani, Warren DiMartini, Steve Lukather, Steve Morse, Randy Rhodes, Angelo Jannoti, Neal Schon....just some great influential guitarists that I've listened and practiced to....

Sterling Mix (w/one live clip)
Sterling Mix (w/one live clip) Track number: 6 Genre: Metal
This clip has a few clips from the last band and recording I was on. It also includes one short little live clip from the Norva (in Norfolk, VA). I have even a more diverse side than this, but it's what I have that's recent. I'll dig up some older stuff and upload some time. If anyone is interested in hearing other stuff, just email me.
