Rico - Man, you got big chops and obviously a big musical soul. Nicely crafted guitar work.Peace, Rico

stratist - Have been listening to your great jazzy runs. Wish I had learned some of them when I was younger. You're good man!

MagicBiddie - Love your music. For me it is like you spoke to the instrument, and it replies back from it's own world, where if you listen, you can understand what it is trying to say to you. It's conversational, breathes nicely and rhythmically varied. Great tone as well! I like your non - stereotypical choice of a LP and Mesa: endless sustain but still has the reserve that great artists employ. Best of luck!

candylandstarr - VERY NICE, I could listen to you play for hours, very smooth and relaxing
