About Me

My talents include:

• Composing (er, Kompozing!)
• Guitar, Lead
• Guitar, Rhythm
• Lyrics, Writing

I am a session guitarist. I am currently playing guitar for singer/songwriter Matt Molden in his band Molden and I am the guitarist for the dbg:foundation.

In terms of guitar playing, I am mainly influenced by Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Frusciante and John Mayer.

I play a Fender Custom Shop Heavy Relic Stratocaster (based on a '63) and I A/B this guitar into a Fender Blues Junior amp for cleans and a Tech 21 Tri AC pedal into a Tech 21 Power Engine for overdrives. Various pedals, wah wah, univibe, fuzzes.

When recording I use Reaper and Amplitude Hendrix amp/pedal simulator. I use Addictive Drums for faking drums and Broomstick Bass for faking bass. I'm not great at recording and mixing but can do a good enough job to get a reasonable demo together.

On Kompoz I would like to contribute to other peoples projects and help them get their songs finished. I would also like to try to get some of the songs in my head out and finished.

I'd like to find a drummer who can make my faked drums real and a bassist who can put a human touch into my faked bass lines. A vocalist to really sing my songs would be fantastic and last but by no means least, someone who really knows how to mix would be amazing.
