 This  is a group of songs I've been working on at my home studio. None are really finished they are really works in progress.&#13;
I believe the guitar is one of the most beautiful instruments and try to fully express myself emotionally in all these pieces. I play my 98 Custom Shop Fender Stratocaster with Dimarzio pickups/ customized Floyd Rose whammy and other mods on most of these tracks.&#13;
 Other equipment I use is :&#13;
Washburn g2-V Electric&#13;
Acrylic flying v electric&#13;
Alvarez Electric/acoustic&#13;
Johnson Electric 4 string Bass&#13;
Morley Bad Horsey and DOD wah wah&#13;
100 watt Marshall G100R with avt 412 cab&#13;
Marshall  Mg 50dfx Amp&#13;
Fender FM65 amp&#13;
Boss Me-70 effects processor&#13;
Art Sge with x-11 controller&#13;
More recent bass parts I play with a Johnson 4 string run direct. Older works the bass parts were done on 6 string guitar octaved down to sound like a bass&#13;
Musicstar Midi Keyboard controller&#13;
Most recordings for this this year Drums are done by my friend Carlo Presti aka spiderdrum and played and recorded live at his home.&#13;
Most of the Artwork is created by my lovely wife <b>"LJ"&#13;
</b>I've played in many bands over the years.&#13;
Both in the studio and on the road.&#13;
( I did do 1 movie soundtrack in La many years ago and some session work) but for the last few I have mainly been concentrating on writing and recording guitar instrumental music. I took a very LONG break from the music business until recently.&#13;
I use multiple programs for recording/mastering,(only guitars) Such as Sonar 4 producer/ sonar x1 ,Audacity,adobe Soundbooth&#13;
My influences are: Joe Satriani, EVH, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Buckethead, and any other innovating guitarist I've ever heard. I love all GUITARIST's :) and listen to ALL. &#13;
