The DPA Onetet

Greetings. This page lists a number of songs that I've created over the last couple of years. I can't say I composed them or I wrote them because I pretty much just winged it in every case. I play all the guitars and keyboards. The percussion parts are all samples.
I'm trying to advance as a guitar player. That's the main purpose of these tunes. Having said that, I've never had lessons, don't know music theory and don't practice any way near as much as I should. I'm getting better with the chords and scales, though. Every couple of songs I try something different. I use what little the keyboards there is to create textures and background. I can't play keyboards at all and am not trying to learn. I've done more songs than this but I think these are some of my better and more noteworthy attempts.

Why this name?
It's just me playing the instruments. I'm a one man band, a "onetet".
Your influences?
I like many guitarists. They vary by music type but if I had to pick a couple, I'd take Carlos Santana, Grant Green, Jeff Beck, Robert Cray, George Benson, Buddy Guy, Ronnie Earl... Every song should have a guitar solo! That's the problem with today's music - no guitar solos.
