Hello, I am a guitarist from Friendswood, Texas (a Houston-area suburb.) I have been playing guitar for 30+ years. My earliest influences are the classic players from the hard rock/metal era of the 80's (Randy Rhoads, Vivian Campbell, Eddie Van Halen, Adrian Vandenberg) but I do enjoy the more modern players of the melodic power metal sounds of Iced Earth, Angra, Kamelot, etc.
