I'm a classic rock kind of guy. I don't like the direction that the music industry is going in and I harmonize completely with the 'if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it' sentiment. I want to play the kind of music that the greats of the sixties and seventies created ... I'm not looking to re-invent the wheel. But I want that sonuvabitch to spin faster than it ever has before.

Influences
Angus Young, Edward Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Paul Gilbert, Guthrie Govan and Les Robot: these seven are my idols, but that doesn't mean I'm wholly and narrowly influenced by these few. It just simply means that these are the go-to-guys for discovering new approaches to playing the guitar.
As far as music is concerned, I'm utterly influenced by everything that's in good taste: we're talking ... Bachman Turner Overdrive, Rush, The Who, Guns 'N Roses ... surely you can infer the rest, my tastes aren't that obscure.
