IllinoisGuitar

Dedicated and serious yet still easy going, I have a good day job, I want to have fun and play music. I've played guitar for close to 40 years, ever since I was a kid and wanted to impress girls. I do a lot of woodworking and enjoy building guitars.

All types of rock. As long as there's guitar, I'll like it. I tend to play more of the 80's but also LOVE the 70's. Let's see, go through my playlist: AC/DC, Boston, Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Def Leppard, Eagles, Firehouse, Guns-n-Roses, Honeymoon Suite, Judas Priest, Kenny Loggins, Loverboy, Metallica, Motley Crue, Night Ranger, Ozzy, Pseudo Echo, Queen, Ratt, Scorpions, Twisted Sister, U2, Van Halen, Whitesnake, XYZ, ZZ top. Also love the newer Euro metal bands such as W.E.T., Eden's Curse, H.E.A.T., Cruzh, Eclipse and Pretty Maids. And of course, STEEL PANTHER! Started playing piano in church as a kid and I can still play a bit.

Fender American Standard Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard, Epiphone LP for backup, Martin acoustic, Epihone acoustic for backup. Marshall MG-50 for practice, Marshall 50W half-stack for gigs, various pedals and such.
