*CURRENTLY LOOKING TO JOIN A BAND IN THE QUEEN CREEK/GILBERT, AZ AREA. MESSAGE ME IF YOU'RE INTERESTED*

I have been playing guitar for roughly 13 years now, and I have a minor in Classical Guitar Performance and Music Theory. 

I've always been a hard-rock/metal guitar player at heart, but I have grown to love Classical, Jazz, and many other playing styles. 

I finally have a somewhat decent recording setup... so now here comes the fun part of putting all of my ideas together that I've been accumulating over the years. Time to dust off some old cassette tapes and re-record some song and riff ideas.

Band/artist history

Various garage bands that never really went anywhere.  Part of a pop-rock cover band in my early college years that I performed live a couple of times with. I mainly did solo classical guitar performances when I wasn't involved in a band.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

Not currently... but I do have live performance experience.
