My "band" is just me at the moment, I'm a guitar player who is only just getting back into playing after 4 years as a music teacher.

At present I'm using sequencers and stuff but most of my songs (all the ones that will be put on the album) will feature live instruments and all guitars will be done in one take.
Why this name?
It's my name ;)
Do you play live?
Not at present, have played in a couply cover bands but I want to do my own thing now.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well, it definately gives the solo or smaller artists a chance to reach a much larger audience.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No.... only for distribution. I'm my own person and my music is very personal. I'm able to record and edit all my own stuff and have done so for years.
Band History:
I've played for ages but only recently decided i wanted to give it a decent go again. My rules are simple... write actual songs for the guitar and make sure I don't give in to much to the "widdle" tendencies.
My long hiatus has cost me, my hands are still building strength so on a couple of the tunes there's some nervous vibrato and slightly strange bends.
Your influences?
Well, I adore Steve Vai's music. Pretty much anything else with way too much guitar.
Favorite spot?
Anywhere, as long as there's a guitar close by.
Equipment used:
My guitar of choice is an inexpensive Jackson performer called "Stickers". Some pedals and other crap ....... and a PC.
Anything else...?
Please, think of the chicken's.
