Hi, I’m Squeeler Jake,
Please check out my AXCRADLE guitar stack invention which you can find on 
www.theoriginalaxcradle.c1.biz

 I have been featured in GUITARIST MAGAZINE issue 343 on June 
 8th 2011 edition and in PLAYMUSIC MAGAZINE September's edition 2011. Tracy G, former Dio guitarist, uses the Axcradle. Check out his band via The Tracy G Group.  

Welcome to my  instrumental and covers page. My music of originals has been described as dark and sinister because my ideas are inspired by horror films such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween; Hills have Eyes, Wrong Turn and Friday 13th. It has always been my dream to break in to the film industry, playing my music behind great horror films. One day.

I grew up listening to all styles of music from Country to Rock and Roll.  I am  influenced by idols such as Tony Iommi and George Lynch, Tracey G (former dio guitarist), Joe Satriani, Tony Iommi, Black Sabbath, Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Saxon. The list of favourite bands and inspirations goes on.

 I began playing the guitar because of my father’s influences when I was 7 years old. My father has also played in bands all his life. I still listen to all sorts of music today from country music and classic rock to new age metal, classical and Spanish music. When I met AC/DC and Dokken, I won a guitarist competition and saw the guys backstage. It was superb, then to go on stage with the band was nerve racking but it turned out to be the best experience of my life! Especially as it was at Wembley arena stage in front of 12,500  fans! Although it was a bit daunting, it was ace for me. I still can’t believe I got to meet the ultimate guitarist George Lynch of Dokken. He is the most amazing player. I’ve always loved his style and meeting him backstage was awesome for me. He was so friendly and certainly not big headed like some bands get. I don’t understand why they act that way as after all, we are all doing what we love to do and just playing our music. I hope that you enjoy my music here and please feel free to email or comment on my music. Thank you for reading.

 Take care.

 SJ.
