I was watching the Discovery Channel or something and they had a show that claimed to prove that Jesus had a little brother named James. Can you imagine being Jesus' little brother? That must have sucked on report card day. So I figured that James was probably the chronic underachiever, did lousey in school, spent a lot of time trying to play guitar and never made much of himself.

This is my little tribute to all the underachievers like him.

I play everything live to tape. Basically there is no editing involved, everything is recorded in one take, if there is a mistake it either stays or I recut it.

It makes things a lot more accessible. I know that if it wasn't for PC based recording and the internet most of us wouldn't be able to share any of this. And it makes it a lot easier to watch porn.

No. I have my own reasons for playing music and would never want to sell out to the fat cat corporate honchos that would only exploit me and diminish my message. Plus they wouldn't want to sign me because I have little or no talent and no real upside.

I started about 30 seconds ago. Its not really so much a band as it is just a place to meet other musicians and hear their stuff. Its kind of like MySpace for music, if MySpace didn't suck ass and was for music.

The standard list of guitar gods; Jimi, Jimmy, Jimbo, James, Jimmy Crack Corn; you know all of the greats.

Right here, right now, at this moment is my favorite.

Anything that sounds good. Lately its been a few Gibsons (LP and SG) and a few Fenders (tele, strat). But one of my favorites is my Brian May Red Special because it is just so unique and has a huge neck which I prefer. I've also recently purchased a US Masters Sportster Skinny which is ridiculously nice and tragically unknown. All of this stuff is now going through an AxeFX Ultra although the majority of my clips here were done with Guitar Rig 3 years ago.
