Your musical influences
I've been and continue to be influenced by everything I've heard. I grew up in a household filled with a variety of music. Right now, I'm listening to Charlie Hunter, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Adam Rogers, Pat Martino, John Scofield, to name a few...What equipment do you use?
I'm mostly a Fender Strat guy right now. My main amp is a Marshall 45 Watt head that *used* to be a combo. The guts were taken out of the combo and turned right-side-up and placed in a head. I use that going into a 2x12 extension cabinet. I use very little effects.madhousewife's station

Hey there ! music is cool and u get good credits on improv too but i think what u need is a lil speed with accuracy ..thats all .. and time is the major key .. I found your guitar playing a lot like Jeff Richman, Sco,
good luck !Hey Russ, Listening to your stuff just now and I like what I hear. Keep up the good work man.
EuanHey Russ. Sounds good man. I am listening to the 2nd track and really like what I'm hearing. Nice subtle groove. I like the guitar work. Cool.
Keep it up and I wish you the best of luck! Keep the music alive and the love for it real.

Russ, back in May you had a listen to my stuff(http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/axefire.htm) and left me a msg on the discussion board - dumb me didn't know to look there ( there are so many plases on this website to look and read it's hard to find them all even of there right in front of my face like this one) - anyway, you left a comment "devil takes the hindmost" - yes, I am an EXTREME Holdsworth fan. Thanks for noticing me. I enjoyed all of your tunes very much! great Strat sound. Love it! What effect did you use for "Monday on the green?" that's a very cool sound. Marco
