Biography

I started out playing on my brothers drums. That's what I wanted to play at the time. My brother how ever didn't want me banging on his drums. lol He got me an electric guitar for my birthday and showed me three chords and said figure out the rest yourself. So I did. Like most I was in and out of a lot of bands and learning along the way. Playing cover songs by Rush,Judas Priest,Thin Lizzy,Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kansas, Crack the Sky, Led Zeppelin to name a few. I didn't get serious about making music till around 19 when I met and jammed with a drummer who was into jazz and progressive rock. That opened my mind to a whole new world of music I had not heard before. People like Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Paco de lucia, Allan Holdsworth,Pat Metheny and bands like Brand X, Weather Report, Return to Forever, Jean Luc Ponty. I carry all those influences and inject those into my own style. Hopefully you can hear some of those influences in my music but at the same time hear how it has molded how I play and who I am as a musician. Instrumental music from the 80's up to today's music is also a major influence. Some of my favorite Bands and Guitarist now... Tony Macalpine, Planet X, Vinnie Moore, Racer X, Paul Gilbert, DreamTheater,George Lynch,John Petrucci, Michael Romeo,SYMPHONY X, AL JOSEPH, Paul Wardingham, Andy James, Marco Sfogli, Greg Howe...

Instruments

I have always liked and used Ovation acoustic guitars. The Standard Balladeer is my Favorite. Also have several Ovation Celebritys. My first acoustic was an Applause. But I do have a few others I use. One is a Gretsch Historic series and a Washburn which I really like and use for most songs now. I also have a Cordoba Iberia GK Studio and a Yamaha CGX102 classical guitar. The electric guitars I'm using now are the Peavey Predator Plus EXP Guitar which has a nice bluesy tone. A PRS SE Custom 24 Electric Guitar, A vintage Aria Pro II CS Cardinal Series. Which has a very nice tone that I like even more than the PRS. My main axe and my favorite is my Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C1FRS Electric Guitar. In case your wondering why the name Acousticeg when I play a lot of electric guitar as well. The eg at the end stands for Electric guitar.

recording devices

I'm using Cakewalk Guitar Pro 4 software and audio technical mics for recording. BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC204HD mixer and interface. And for most of my EFX I use my GT-10 and the GT-100. I also use a DigiTech GSP1101 Multi-Effects Preamp & Processor rack. A DigiTech Trio Plus.A Line 6 Pod and a DR-5 drum machine.
