I am Guitarist who loves playing all styles of music. I love playing Rock, Blues, finger picking and Country, with a little Bluegrass and Metal thrown into the mix. I play primarily Fender Teles, Stratocaster, Alesis, Variax and VOX ADVT50 (One fantastic amp!!) For Acoustics, my main axe is a Takamine TAN 10C. My influences run from Chet Atkins, Leo Kottke, Marcel Dadi, Stefan Grossman, Jerry Reed, Brent Mason and Albert Lee on the country side, Django Reinhart and Wes Montgomerey on the Jazzier side, tasty Blues Players like Robben Ford and Stevie Ray to "Rock Gods" like Andy Timmons, Page, Satriani, Vai, Clapton Hendrix am listening to a lot of Tommy Emmanuel lately (amazing!!). I had the pleasure of meeting him and taking a class from him in Dunkerque France Europe (. Like Steve Vai says " If I had to pick one guy as the best guitarist in the world, it would be Tommy Emmanuel. The music on this site was written by me except The Boxer. Written by Simon & Garfunkel , it was recorded for the 2007 live Album "Book That Band. I currently play in a country band called "Jerry and co".. Thanks for Listening. God Bless! Turn off my song and watch the Tommy Emmanuel Video. Simply The BEST ever Love & hugs Je suis un guitariste qui adore jouer plusieurs styles.

Welcome Jerry And Co ,Thanks for letting me in as one of your friends ~ here's my rap . . . A number is only a number. Hey, I try to push my crap down everyones throat regardless of what they usually think they like to listen to. But I don't expect the metal heads to dig my horn arrangements any more than I anticipate the country crowd is gonna trip on my backwards vocals! Play a couple of my eletronic bags to a traditional Jazzer and I'd be lucky to get 1 star. And the Hip Hop crowd is not exactly enthralled by my weird piano pieces. Not a lot of R & B @ 150 bps. But I keep shoveling & shoveling. As much as I would like everyone to like me ~ it just ain't gonna happen! But I am pleased to have the honor of them trying something that they normally wouldn't hear and I honestly believe everyone is entitled to their opinions. It is what it is & a number is only a number. Diversity is what make this Music Nation great. In dante's inferno hell is full of bad musicians and this is no dante's inferno ! ߀∏ ¥∆∏Á€¬Îƒƒ ø ¬∫
