My passion for playing guitar has occupied me for most of my life. Everyday I look forward to riffing away on the fretboard whether it’s on stage or in the studio. I simply love playing guitar whenever and wherever I can. It’s a part of me.
I am the Lead Guitarist for New York Tri-State area cover band “Superhero”. You can catch us performing live at a venue in the area almost every weekend throughout the year.
My main guitar is a Gibson Les Paul and I plug it into a Legacy 2 Carvin tube amplifier and use MXR & Morley pedals. I also use a preamp/effects processor, instead of a traditional tube amp setup, for gigs with smaller stages.
I enjoy building guitar rigs, recording on Pro Tools, audio engineering, post production, and writing songs. Whenever I find the time, I usually lose myself in the recording studio for hours at a time recording into Pro Tools, striking up some cool guitar tracks, slicing and dicing drum loops, and laying down bass and vocal tracks.
My musical influences range from many styles including classic hard rock to trance. (Just to give you an idea, I listen to XM Chill Smooth Electronic music everyday – it helps me reset my approach to playing guitar).
If it’s slamming, it’s got my attention. It’s all about the music.
