My Life Was Better (Steely Dan Tribute) My Life Was Better (Steely Dan Tribute)
Song by Richard John-Riley. This in response to Richard's request for lead break interpretations. Here's my take on it.
Pumice (Soft Rock) Pumice (Soft Rock)
TDPRI Backing Track Challenge; I used one of my 2009 PRS Custom 22s on this. Other equipment was a POD HD through a USB interface to Garage Band on an iPad.
Rock it to the Moon Rock it to the Moon
The guitar on this track is the Gibson ES-3399.
Sick Spack (six different vignettes in one track) Sick Spack (six different vignettes in one track)
This track contains six sections--forcing me to change horses in mid-stream and come up with something that fits each musical context. More of an experiment with six separate little songs rather than a single composition. PRS C22 on this track.
Batman! Batman!
My take on the classic theme song written by Neil Hefti for the 1960s TV series Batman.

I've been a music freak since before I learned to talk (really). My parents loved music and had a small but varied collection of LPs that ran from classical/orchestral stuff to Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey, Spike Jones, The Mills Brothers, Tony Bennett, Perry Como, Louis Armstrong, Dave Brubeck, Trio Los Panchos, The Ventures, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Sergio Mendez and Brazil '66, Otis Redding, Buck Owens and the Buckaroos, Miles Davis, The Baja Marimba Band, and 45s of radio singles from the 50s through the 70s. THANK YOU mom and dad!Band/artist history
I'm what most people would consider a "self-taught" musician, but I tend to disagree with that because I've played with many talented people and they taught me. "Self taught" is true only if the player lives in a cave and has never heard music by anyone else.Have you performed in front of an audience?I played in several bands from the late 70s through 2010. Mostly rock, country, and pop/top 40. Loved every minute. Even playing weddings was fun.
Your musical influences
Every musician/band I've listened to or played with.What equipment do you use?
I use what works for me. For these recordings here, it's Alesis X5 and Akai LPK25 keyboards, Alesis SR16 drum machine, various guitars, basses, ukuleles, mandos, banjos, vihuela, percussion and other noisemakers, a Line 6 POD HD, and Garage Band.Anything else?
I've also been a guitar tech for more than 35 years. I love working on stringed (and other) instruments as much as I love playing 'em.Contact
