Playing has been a hobby for me since I was 10 years old. I never really became serious about playing until I was in college studying electronics and computer technology. Something went haywire within me. All I wanted to do was play guitar. I realized finishing school was more practical. So here I am mainly playing for fun. I guess that's what it's really all about. Having fun. I also like to teach. One can also learn a lot from teaching. It works both ways. Teaching privately is an art. Every individual is different with different needs, strengths, and weaknesses.
Band/artist history
There's really no official band. Someone gets hired for a gig. They put together a couple guys and we play for a night or two.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I sit in with friends once in awhile and play at jam sessions. I remember the first time I played on stage with a quartet. I was really nervous. Once the music started going, the nervous vibe diminished. I was having a blast. Two of the guys from the quartet are still my best friends 20 years later. So I guess I didn't do too bad. Now I play an occasional gig here and there.
Your musical influences
I grew up listening to Pop, R&B, and Rock. I started listening to groups like the Crusaders, Grover Washington in high school. I started listening to guys like Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Herb Ellis and Barney Kessell in college.
What equipment do you use?
Zeidler Jazz Deluxe, Dragony custom 7 string, Gibson ES175, Eastman El Rey Clarus/RE12ER & HK8, Henriksen Jazz Amp
