John Bernsen

Guitar-oriented rock and metal music with an offbeat sense of humor.

I've been recording my own material since 1995. Mostly it's whatever comes to mind at the time. The musical direction a piece takes has no limit. The only limitations I place on myself are what I can physically do. No pretensions. If I want to write a humorous song, I do. Having a home studio gives me the freedom to write whatever I want without having to please anyone but myself.

I'm influenced by Jeff Beck, Brian May of Queen, and Robin Trower. Less obvious influences are Dickey Betts, Dave Mustaine, Michael Schenker, Alex Lifeson, and Angus Young.
