I have been playing guitar for roughly 13 years now. I was a Classical Guitar performance / music theory major. The classical guitar recordings I have on my page to are back from when I had just started started studying Classical Guitar of just a few months; so please excuse the bad recording quality and playing mistakes! :)

I haven't been studying classical for a couple of years now, but I am starting to get back into it. My real passion is instrumental rock guitar.

Do you play live?
Not at the moment.

I used to play solo at local coffee-shops, as well as live gigs with my old pop-rock cover band!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Internet distribution of music, legal or illegal, has opened various avenues to let listeners hear your music and to gain new fans easily. It's free marketing basically. If you're a fan of an artist though, buy their music and support them. It takes a lot of time to practice and dedicate yourself to music. If you hate the artist and don't like the songs, then delete the file. My thought is if you download music and like it, you should buy it!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No.
Band History:
Various garage bands that never really went anywhere. Part of a pop-rock cover band in my early college years.

Currently seeking a new band to play with at the moment.
