ABOUT WAYNE'S SOLO PERFORMANCES:

Solo performances include solo guitar, but, are sometimes augmented with guitar synthesizer or a technique called 'looping' which permits the artist to record on the fly and accompany himself when no other musicians are available, and the sometimes use of TV Mixes or 'backing tracks' from Wayne's latest recordings, promising the audience a great musical experience.

When appropriate, Wayne shares information about his instruments and playing styles with his audience, further enhancing the audiences participation and enjoyment.
