Influences
I'm heavily influenced by Alice in Chains, Led Zeppelin, Motley Crue, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Taking Dawn John Lee Hooker, Skip James, Robert Johnson, and Phil X, The Drills, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, and Seether amongst other great bands, this isn'teven 1% of my influences. I listen to Blues, Rock, Metal, Grunge, Punk, Folk, Jazz, R & B, Eastern Music (Greek, Arabic, Indian), Funk, Soul, ect... But overall my main styles a mix of rock, metal, blues, folk and eastern music, its a rather interesting mix of sounds.
EQUIPMENT
I use Schecter guitars (E/A Semi Hollow, custom pickups, with a Piezo as the bridge), and Dillion guitars (Les Paul, chambered). Boss, Danelectro, and Dunlop effects pedals (Wah, Chorus, DD3, DS1, Blues driver. I plan on getting more soon) and Peavy amps (Valve king 112, and I will be getting a EvilRobot amp soon hopefully as well as a vintage 70's marshall amp head and cabinet, and Possibly either a Laney amp or Orange amp) and I have a a chanel switcher for my Peavy amp. I prever 1mm picks, and thick padded leather guitar straps. I prefer my own mix of vintage meets modern tones from my guitars, and I prefer custom wound pickups over the factory ones due to the tones fitting my style more.
