Hello all,
My name is Kenny Wilson
I am A West Coast based Guitarist formally from NYC .
I have been playing Guitar since the age of 6.
I first started out like most people by learning how to play popular music and as I progressed I found myself interested in all kinds of music.
In the beginning I played in garage bands doing Rock and Pop.
As I got older I played in bands that performed in clubs and concerts on the local tri state level
As my interest in music developed I started to listen to other styles of music and started to get involved in playing and studying Jazz and Classical music as an outlet to learn how to play better guitar.
For many years I had the goal of becoming a Studio Guitarist so I got involved in learning as much as I could about how to improve my playing to accomplish this goal.
I studied with a few well known guitarists and learned how to read music and adapt myself to the goal of doing studio work.
Around the 80s things started to get tough in the studios so it became increasingly harder to break in so I got a hold of a 4 track and started to mess around on my own for the sheer fun of it.
I have played guitar for a few interesting people in the past including a few Grammy Winning / nominated Artists,
Sadly for me not on the albums but for the Artists them self's on live gigs. Dr. William Schimell and Gospel Artist Andre Crouch to name a few.
Currently I am writing music and posting some of my songs to generate some possible interest in my playing as I would like to play full time and make a living at it.
Style
My style is a combination of years of listening to Rock , Jazz , Blues, Country , Dance , Classical, and Film Score Music.
There is so much great music in the world to listen to and play.
I am open to incorporating all the various elements of music into my playing.
When the music is good regardless of the style I emulate it and incorporate it into my playing when ever I can.

Why this name?
I was born with it
Do you play live?
Yes I have many times over the years, and I consider live playing to be my strong point.
My favorite live musical moment actually took place in a small club in NYC .
I woman who was crippled came up to me on my break , she stood there with her crutches and told me that if there was such a thing as Reincarnation , she would like to come back as my Guitar.
I was deeply touched by her comment , and after the show I hung out with her and we talked for about an hour.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet has come a long way , and now there is an abundance of knowledge and music that is available to assimilate , to further one own musical development
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
sure I would , as long as the situation is a win win , and the company is looking to promote my talent and gift globally
Your influences?
Influences
My early musical influences were Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, Leslie West,
After a few years of playing the guitar and listening to the guitarists that influenced my early influences quite by accident I heard Roy Buchanan and became mesmerized by his playing.
The next guitarist that had a profound impact on me was Joe Pass.
His albums hit me like a ton of bricks and as fate had it I was fortunate to become friends with him and share some inspirited moments with him .
We had became friends or more aptly put he tolerated my company whenever he came to NYC and was helpful to me and was like a father figure to me, and I learned a lot hanging out with him.
Joe Pass, Emily Remler, Barry Gailbraith, Ed Cherry( Dizzys Guitarist) Joe Puma, Arnie Berle, Tony DeCaprio, John Stowell, to name a few were the people whom I studied with and learned the most about Jazz Guitar playing.
I feel fortunate to have been guided by them because learning how to play in that style is a life long undertaking that is rarely accomplished with out a teacher.
To this day I think of these people fondly whether I am playing Jazz or not.

Anything else...?
Yes ,
There is a place where an artists soul can become one with all creative forces.
Many people look outside of them self's for the answer, and validation.
When I was young , I used that approach at first and soon found myself at the mercy of situations and conditions .
To truly express my art I found that the real power is in the absolute total expression of my souls hidden capacities that are not bound by the limitations , perceived or implied.
To me , music is a bridge that spans the known and unknown Universe.
Music is a Powerful Force .
Once I realized that music had the ability to transcend conditions and circumstances and speak to a persons soul in a direct fashion ,
I stopped fighting the process and went along for the ride.
