With grand, sizzling riffs befitting a desert denizen, this Palm Springs guitarist sounds something like the lost love child of Carlos Santana and Joe Satriani. Equal parts raw blues-rock juice, crystalline fusion feel, and chill neo-Latin rhythms, this i
Biography
I started this project with the intention of just making a few tracks to play along with for fun. The more I got into it, the more I really felt the music I was creating was unique for this style. The large percentage of songs you'll find in the instrumental rock category are much harder edged and would probably be described as metal by most listeners. While I love really fast, technical guitar playing, and I definitely wish I could play like that, I think the average listener is more interested in melody and "hum-ability" than how many notes someone can fit into a measure. There are a lot of very talented guitarists on this website and each style has its place. I hope that my style will find an audience and that one day they'll catch themselves humming one of my tunes.
