Vazquez - Original guitar music in many flavors.

Why this name?
Just me with occasional guests. Also check out --> www.soundclick.com/YUB H8N, www.soundclick.com/BrianGrace, and www.soundclick.com/Moefletcher.
Do you play live?
Not in a long time, maybe at some point...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Internet - You are SO here checking it out... and

MP3 - The availability of original music in a format suitable for downloading and streaming.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Have your people do lunch with my people..

Your influences?
OK, here's a short list --> McLaughlin, Metheny, Franco Mussida, Jeff Beck, Carlton, Holdsworth, Yes, PFM, ELP, Cactus, Gentle Giant, Bruford, Bloomfield, King Crimson, Carlos, Kazumi Watanabe, Scott Henderson, Hendrix, Stern, Danny Gatton (and I'll think of some more later).

Favorite spot?
Wherever my Muse can dance and talk to me.
Equipment used:
Sonar P6, Acid Pro, Pentagon I, Z3ta+, Crystal, Triangle I & II, Keyboard Express (Pro53, FM7, and B4), a Cuatro, a Jackson/Charvel guitar, my new Cherry Ibanez Artcore, Fender 5-string bass, and the Roland GR-20 guitar synth.
Anything else...?
First appeared on MP3.Com and was actually the first global collaborator with renowned German musician Mathias Claus, and later with another amazing musician/composer from the Ukraine, Sergio Walking.

This is how I try to stay sane, hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping in. Platano Music 2007
