Guitar Player 2019

Inspired By Early Clapton, Santana, Roy Buchanan, John McLaughlin, Zappa and Gary Moore. My music is a compilation of my 50 years of musical experiences. I truly am passionate about writing and recording music of all types. Especially when I can throw a guitar solo or two into the fray. I used to write songs around a guitar solo concept, but now I actually write a song and then add a guitar solo to enhance the song. It;'s always interesting especially when I surround myself with the great musicians and recording engineer that I do.

In music as in love, one + one can add up to not two but a new and greater one. On Heart Songs two of the world's greatest guitarists, Tommy Emmanuel and John Knowles, make this clear. Both are masters of their instrument, honored by the iconic Chet Atkins with the rare designation of CGP (Certified Guitar Players). Emmanuel has twice been voted "Best Acoustic Guitarist" by readers of Guitar Player Magazine and honored as both a "Member of the Order of Australia" and an official "Kentucky Colonel". Knowles is a Grammy winner, a member of the National Thumb Picker's Hall of Fame, and editor of the respected FingerStyle Quarterly.
