Jak Lyons
Guitar (both electric and acoustic) is my primary instrument, but I also play bass and, to a more limited extent, drums. I generally play rock (including metal/heavy stuff) and acoustic styles, and I also enjoy playing blues stuff, but every so often I'll do something a little different.
I currently work as a guitar and bass tutor at a local music school.
All of my recordings were done while I was at college.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not nearly as much as I'd like. It's hard to find people who want to be in the same kind of band, and play the various kinds of music, as I do.
Your musical influences
Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Psilocybin, James Taylor, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree

Fender Telecaster
