electric guitarist and hobbyist musician in the process of recording an album in my apartment with a Macintosh.
Band/artist history
Born in 1960. Didn't think I would amount to anything until 17 years later when I picked up a guitar for the first time and discovered I had an aptitude for it. Played in a number of bands you've never heard of like Once Over Twice and Cinnamon in Western Canada in the early eighties, but a move to Toronto scared me real bad over the level of musicianship. It was five years ago that I began getting back into playing and recording, especially when I got a Macintosh. Now I'm having fun and hopefully getting together enough material to put out an album recorded in my apartment.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I used to play live, but I gave up after too much band politics and not getting many of my ideas across. However, get me with some like-minded musicans and watch sparks fly! My favorite live experience was getting up to jam with Paul Gilbert (guitarist best known for Mr. Big and Racer X) at a clinic a number of years ago. I'm not a killer shredder, but that jam was so fun.
Your musical influences
the big influence on me to get going on guitar was Brian May of Queen, but over the years I've had the pleasure of listening to guys like Joe Satriani, Hendrix and Jeff Beck. But I'm a musical omnivore who generally likes almost anything that comes along, and love throwing curve balls.
What equipment do you use?
Peavey Horizon II guitar. Peavey Falcon guitar. Fender Highway 1 Strat HSS. Peavey Wolfgang Special ST. Peavey Millennium BXP. Apple Power Mac G4 MDD running Cubase Studio 4 with a variety of freeware and pro VST plug-ins, Apple GarageBand. Peavey Classic 50 amp. Digitech RP-250 amp modeler. Yamaha DX7s keyboard. Roland GM-70 Guitar-To-MIDI Convertor. Behringer UB1204 Pro mixer. Radio Shack bookshelf speakers.

Am I right thinking you're also a Zappa fan? It's the song titles not the the guitar sound.
Hi Dan, I cruise thru AMH-S once in a while and thought I would give the shoulder song a listen. I love the song and the sound..well done! leo dean www.leodean.com

Just checked out your new tune, Dan. It does kinda remind me of ole Todd Nurgent. Cool!
Dan, have not saw you on AMVH in a while but checked back here for new tunes. When are you going to post a new one or two? Looking forward to hearing a little more Guitar Nerd.
