Tried to add an orchestra behind an acoustic guitar. The more I added the less the guitar fit, so I removed it and leaned into the Christmas feel that was happening... It's a bit different from what I usually do.

Band/artist history
I started playing bass in grade 10 and switched to guitar by mid-semester because I couldn't find guitar players who wanted to play what I was interested in... About 20 years ago I was contacted by an ex-coworker who wanted me to play guitar on an album she was recording. That project was never completed but during the sessions I became friends with her producer/studio owner. I was invited to come hang out and learn more about production and maybe get the chance to jump in on some recording sessions... I ended up becoming the studio session guitarist and I'm still doing it today.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I've filled in for guitarists of various bands for a gig or two, and I was the rhythm guitarist for a showcase concert. Other than that, I just play in the studio or by myself.
Your musical influences
I listen to mostly rock and blues, but there are some things that I like in almost all kinds of music.
What equipment do you use?
These days my setup is very simple because my studio room was turned into a bedroom... Guitar to Behringer UMC22 audio interface to laptop.
Anything else?
Most of these recordings are old but I hope you find something you like... I'm open to working with anyone. Any genre, doesn't matter.

I've been away for so long I was surprised to see this page is still active... I now have a family and have been working in a studio as the session guitarist, as well as recording engineer assistant and graphic artist. I'm still writing and recording on my own. The other day I put up my latest piece, Before I Forget.
Enjoyed this song, not sure if you are still checking in on your page, your work is quite good.
Good job on this song. Nice and peaceful.
Great guitar work - excellent tracks!
SWEEEET.....This melody sounds like you are forgiving someone:-))
