Entropy
All these things end up sounding the same anyway, but . . .
My name is David Dexter and I compose and record instrumental guitar songs. People have compared my style to such stalwarts as Knoppfler, Satch, Johnson, Metallica . . . which is all very flattering, but I like to think I have my own style rather than ripping off somebody else's.

Why this name?
I chose my bandname because it's my actual name. Weird, right?
Do you play live?
I occasionally gig around Exeter where my uni is. Having just got into a band I expect a few more gigs soon. It's always fun to alienate a crowd.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Makes it . . . bigger . . .?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course I would.
Band History:
Not much of a history. I've been playing guitar for about 3.5 years and for the last two have been recording instrumental songs on my pc. The quality of both playing and sound is steadily improving.
Your influences?
Brian May, Steve Vai, Satch, Richie Sambora, Eric Clapton, Luca Turelli, Van Halen, AC/DC, GnR, Eric Johnson, Steve Lukather . . .
Basically a lot of the greats. They're not so much influences on my style as inspirations to play better.

Favorite spot?
I don't know. Exeter's kinda ok.
Equipment used:
Some kind of Jackson guitar, a morley wah pedal, zoom 707mkII effects box, my pc.
Anything else...?
Nothing.
