I play guitar, bass, and other stringed instruments including some 3-string lutes from Morocco. I can also do an above average job on drums and a wide assortment of hand drums and percussion. I've listened to and studied alot of world folk musics.

I'm skilled at slide guitar. I use standard tuning because it's easy for me to play a wider variety of music. Generally I like heavy rock these days.

Working With Others

How I Work:

I tend to go by feel and strive for soulful or energetic over precise or techincal. I enjoy and am interested in participating in a wide variety of music. I prefer original music with an edge. I like to contribute ideas for others to work with.

Experience:

I have over 20 years on guitar

Equipment:

A badass all tube vintage guitar rig of over 200 watts; Ampeg and Carvin. A few great cabinets with excellent speakers. A '69 Gibson SG Special, '77 Ibanez Custom Agent Les Paul Copy, and a '03 Gibson Houndog roundneck dobro, A modest selection of nice effects, and a Micromoog synth.

For home recording I use various mics > a mackie 1402VLZ > Tascam USB122 soundcard > my laptop
