ABOUT

I am a guitarist capable of playing both lead and rhythm, with lead being my stronger side. I often try to combine elements of a lot of different music in order to get the most unique sound to my style. I have many different influences ranging from styles such as punk rock, hardcore punk, thrash metal, prog etc. I use all sorts of tunings when I play generally favouring E standard and D standard for the six string. I also own a seven string which for original music I often use B standard. However, don't mistake me for the typical seven string guitarist who just djents, I am actually capable of playing riffs and solos. I am also ok with backing vocals although anything particularly complex will leave me dazed. My voice is naturally deep and husky so I'm alright at doing growly kind of vocals like James Hetfield or Sully Erna. But I'm not brilliant so best to keep me as a backing vocalist.
