Job: Property Manager/Software Engineer

Started playing: When I was 16 after hearing Van Halen I, been trying to nail that sound ever since. Think I might give up now and find a sound of my own.

Favourite music: Eddie Van Halen - the original, Ty Tabor - incredible solos. Then in no particular order... Vai, Satriani, Gilbert, Petrucci, Moore, Francis Dunnery, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson, Richie Kotzen, Sting, Nuno, Eric Johnson (listen to Rain from Alien Love Child - wow), Les Paul...
