Welcome to my page. Right now I'm just going to be uploading things for constructive criticism...someday I'll be the next Clapton, then you can love me...until then, just tell me what you think.Band/artist history
Its always just been me, no band to speak of. I played a guitar for my first time at 8, then when I was 12 I bought my first electric (Squier Stratocaster) & spent the next 8 years playing everything Metallica has ever recorded. I've always liked the blues, and over the past 4 years its become an obsession. I bartend in a blues club, hang out with some of my favorite blues guitarists, and spend hours a day playing my own stuff.Have you performed in front of an audience?I've only played live once. A friend of mine who's the best guitarist I've ever heard told me I was getting up on stage one night at the club I bartend at. She grabbed a bass so I wasn't alone with strangers up there & we did a couple standard 1 4 5 blues tunes. One of the greatest moments of my life was when I went into a solo I saw these 2 girls to the left of the stage stand up & start cheering. Once we finished the set, a few people asked me what band I'm with & where we tour...that was awsome.
Your musical influences
Blues mainly...hendrix, clapton, BB King, SRV, Allman Brothers, Jonny Lang, a lot of great local & regional artists, Metallica, etc.What equipment do you use?

Bill Romanza is wonderful, liked black clouds a lot, too.
Just a mile or two to go to being the next Claption :) Push it!
I´ll be backRomanza. . . . .
Damn I love that tune, and can't play a note of it. I clicked the hot button on this one, well done I really enjoyed it.
You won't find anything like that on my page so you might wanna give it a miss.
Keep up the good work.Best Wishes for the holiday season and the upcoming year.
We have six songs which will be released in January and the coming months and we are anxious to share them. Cheers from snowy Montreal, ToddHey Bill - listened to a few of your tracks, you are certainly heading in the right direction bro.
Who should you be listening to? I'd have to point you in the direction of Peter Green (the early stuff from the '70's) I think you'll enjoy him.
Constructive criticism (always hard)? Maybe phrasing/timing? I come from the less is more school (yeah, too lazy to shred ;)) But really sometimes you can say more by saying less (hence the Peter Green reference) that call and response guitar phrasing where your timing is like a singers - breaking where you would need to breath.
Anyway nice playing mate.All comments (6)
