Guitar Rock you don't have to be a guitarist to appreciate. Melodic, listenable instrumental Rock inspired by the likes of Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Vinnie Moore and others.

From the extreme surf rock of “Wah-Wah Watusi” to the emotional melodies of “Brothers Still”, Shut Up & Play puts guitar rock front and center.

A melodic guitar instrumental initially written for lyrics. I had so much fun with the improvised melody on the demo that I went ahead and made it an instrumental.

Wah-Wah Watusi

The synth and rhythm tracks are inspired by my love of The Who. Specifically Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Riley. Once I started adding melodies it took on its own life. That's the cool thing about recording sometimes. The song goes where it wants to regardless of how hard I try. ;-)

Written for Game of Thrones
*from the perspective of King Joffrey Baratheon

I am afraid your father has misbehaved 
He made a grave mistake and begged me for my pardon 
Look at his face, bug-eyed, atop the stake! 
Look how his ashes fertilize my royal garden! 

Pretty girl, I'm bad in my bones but 
What does it matter when I'm here on this throne? 

All of my slaves are slaving away today 
They're building me castles 'cross the land 
Where I can house my hands and 
All of my soldiers die for their true king 
Truly, there's no more wars to win but 
Peace is awfully boring 

Pretty girl, I'm bad in my soul but 
What does it matter when I'm in full control? 

You will be my wife and my queen! 
You and me will do whatever we please! 
Torture and death to anyone left who disagrees! 

Sansa, my dear, give me a son tonight 
Raise him to be a powerful king just like his father 
I have grown sore of sitting at this height 
Though it's a thrill to kill, I'd much rather not bother 

Pretty girl, I've got good in my heart but 
What does it matter when I'm playing this part?
...

Put That Thing Back

"’Acoustic Sunrise Acoustic Sunset’ is better still, loosely tuned chords endow an almost middle eastern sitar like mantra to the cause begetting a vibe not so far removed from the Sunray the candy coated riffs delicately and deftly worked to provide something that will not only appeal to lovers of early feedback less Flying Saucer Attack but the mercurial sounds found on those rare acoustic fan club freebies issued by Porcupine Tree."

An acoustic piece with ambiance. Imagine a day in time lapse from sunrise to sunset. From the archives ...circa 2006

So Beastly

Melodic instrumental rock music you don’t have to be a guitarist to appreciate.

Growing up in the 80’s, Rich bought a used $15 guitar after the death of his parents at age 17 and began to learn.

Faking Stevie Ray Vaughan on the cheap guitar, Rich literally played until his fingers bled. A year later with his first electric he was cutting his teeth on Van Halen’s Eruption and the shredders of Shrapnel Records. This led to his first band while earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Va Tech. After graduation, the shock of “real life” motivated a visit to Musicians Institute in LA with the hopes of attending but the cost and a younger brother to care for proved too much.

Returning to VA, Rich worked as an engineer by day and played at night. In 1987, Joe Satriani's “Surfing with the Alien” changed the landscape and motivated Rich to self record and release “Was It Good For You Too?” in 1991 and the eponymous CD for his band “Red Handed” in 1994.

After a 10 year break from playing in 1998 to marry and start a family, a Father’s Day gift to Rock Fantasy Camp in 2008 provided inspiration to play again.

Rich is back doing what he loves. Playing guitar, writing, and recording “songs without words” in the hopes of sharing guitar music you don’t have to be a guitarist to appreciate.
