It's just my name. Innovative, aint it?

Only played live once. I was kinda thrust up on stage by some friends and played my piece "Friction Burn." The crowd went wild, and I was honestly touched.

The internet is really the only way that a guy like me can get his playing out from some critiques from a diverse audience.

Of course! I do kind of want to go to and get through school first.

Not much to say. I started playing guitar at 15, learning classical music and then began playing from my then-inspirations of 70's blues rock. Namely, Aerosmith and Joe Perry. As I progressed, I mixed my love of rock and classical music and found one Yngwie Malmsteen. As I've progressed, I've gleaned influences from players such as Tak Matsumoto, Steve Vai and Akira Takasaki. That's really about all there is too it.

Yngwie Malmsteen, Aerosmith, Tak Matsumoto, X Japan, Steve Vai, Randy Rhoades, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Gotta say that I really dig Baltimore.

I play on an Ibanez JEM 7vwh and a Route 101 Solimar. Amp-wise, just some crate tube amp I picked up used. Effects come from a Digitech GNX2.
