Overview

I'm a unique musician who plays both original compositions and cover tunes. I started out as a Jimi Hendrix impersonater. I can play his 5 albums in their entirety. I found my own identity late in my career. And I now have over 50 original compositions all linked up to connect to 3 separate albums. I decided to play all the parts on my own in real-time. No loops, no echo effects. I layer the bass, rhythm, lead, and percussion all in 1 unique style that I class as acoustic jam or folk jam. I can fill hours with instrumental music or songs with vocals... I can play blues, jazz, folk, bluegrass, psychedelic, classic rock, grunge, alternative, classical, emo, and soft rock.

About

I've been playing guitar for 30 years now,I started out copying Jimi Hendrix . I can play 5 albums in their entirety now which helped me develop my own identity. Acoustic jam or Folk jam is the class I would define it as. I layer the rhythm,bass,lead and percussion all in 1 real time method. No loops, no echoes,or delays.
I can fill hours of instrumental songs, or play with vocals. My original compositions are formatted to fit 50 songs over 3 albums arranged in synch with 1 another. I definitely use diversity from classical, bluegrass,rock ,folk, grunge,soft rock,jazz,blues, salsa even psychedelic...I enjoy being a part of a very special event that I can accent and help others share the (link hidden) always open to requests I can read and write music at an expert level.
I am originally from Miami, Florida where I started performing on the beach strip,and in the local bars. I've been in several bands but all were shortlived because of everyone's personal life made it hard to commit. Social media and new tech and equipment allows me to do exactly what I want to play for the listener. I like the extra work as well. I moved out to L.A first and settled in Hermosa Beach where I played pro beach volleyball untill the age 36. I am 43 now and I haven't played since after I moved to San Francisco to become my grandmother's caregiver until she passed away at age 93. That time spent allowed me to practice music sometimes more than 6 hours a day every day. I believe I have reached a level that few have reached, my music is truly unique, and I can only hope to reflect others to find God by displaying the gift he has given to me. I love to play, and I would perform for no money but I do need to make a living. I will perform for charity events at no charge. Make sure to leave the information for me to contact you. Jam on ....
