bedroom guitarist. former pro turned dayjob slave..but still very much a noodler on the guitar.

will get a band someday.it's just a matter of time.

i just play for my fans(lol) on yahoo messenger.
Why this name?
it's my email id. i love blues, and will play blues till the day i die.
Do you play live?
like i said, i was a pro once. played in all sorts of situations. never got my big break though, but that doesn't bother me. got to play guitar on tv a few times...it was in a pop band though. my friends never let me forget about the time i had to play the "my sharona" guitar solo on bubble gang.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
there is so much freedom in the internet. it's mad...has it's ups and downs. if you have the proper tools and know how...you can use the internet to your advantage.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
i did once. didn't get me anywhere though. bad luck i guess. but if somebody offered me a contract i wouldn't turn it down. fools never learn.
Band History:
started out in HS band playing keyboards and vocals-ocassionally.

switched to guitar in 1990 and has since joined different bands:
bluerats--manila blues band
skin--rock,new wave and top 40 showband
first circle--recording artists in the party circuit
introvoys--on their reunion album and tour.

not mention several filipino bands that i jam with occasionally like ben paltik, flying rat's ass, huka, the whatsisname bros, mr.crayon, lampano alley,etc.

played almost in every situation you could think of. the only place i haven't played is underwater.lol...oh yes on a rollercoaster, never done that before.

top 40, rock, metal, reggae...yep ive dabbled in them all...but i love the blues.that's the only style i could do with conviction.
