About Me
I play guitar in the youth praise band at my church, and in some other venues as well. I've been playing since I was 13, and non-stop since I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan for the first time (on TV of course) about a year ago.

I'm really into blues. I thought it was slow, easy and boring with stupid lyrics about depression. It actually turns out that all blues doesn't sound the same, it's not easy to play, it's not boring to listen to and even the slow songs are still good. As far as the lyrics go, I've heard much more depressing lyrics in emo music than in blues. lol

I listen to all kinds of music though, from Underoath to Wes Montgomery (seriously, I can't put my iPod on shuffle anymore it's that crazy). I listen to a lot of really old guitar players (mostly dead, come to think of it) that you've probably never heard of. Lightnin' Hopkins, Gatemouth Brown, Albert Collins, Albert King etc.

My all time favorites are Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Vaughan. And as far as Christian music goes, I'm diggin' Robert Randolph. :D

I play Fender guitars and Fender amps. My favorite's are my Squier Strat (upgraded pickups) and my Fender Strat as well as my Fender Deluxe VM which I won in a contest. It's the best amp I've ever had for sure.

The most embarrassing thing I ever did was:
Get scared on stage in Austin. I was literally shaking. I'm used to playing guitar on stage in front of a lot of people, just not in front of people who were friends of my favorite guitar players... lol
I believe...
Every life is important.

Austin Texas

Last week I was in Austin at the National Guitar Workshop. I learned enough to last me the next six months so I'm going to be practicing like crazy! Jimmie Vaughan came and played a show for us, and answered our questions between songs. He also played some songs for people who requested them. There was only about a hundred people there max, so it was a small venue with great sound. My Dad helped the sound guy load in so in return the sound guy made sure there was a front row seat saved for him,… Continue

Norma Jean vs. The Anti Mother - Album Review

I was at a store in Abilene, Texas when I picked up Norma Jean vs. The Anti Mother. I was visiting relatives and new music is the only antidote for boredom there. It's either listen to new music or sit around talking about hunting with your cousins. That's probably why I seem to buy more CDs in Abilene than in any other place on Earth. lol

I'm not the biggest Norma Jean fanatic, but I have three of their albums which I've enjoyed. I guess if I had to put a label on them it would be "Chaotic Met… Continue

This Dream is not a Nightmare - "Dreamer" by Haste the Day - Album Review

I've been a huge fan of Haste the Day since "Burning Bridges" came out. I was relieved that they kept their sound when Jimmy Ryan left and they released "Pressure the Hinges". And I was very happy to hear that they not only kept their sound, but improved it with "Dreamer".

The first track "68" is about the self destructiveness of sin. "I am my own disease" is a phrase repeated throughout the song and the general theme is echoed throughout the album.

"Mad Man" is one of the leading songs on the… Continue

Lightning Strikes Twice - "Time is Fiction" by Edison Glass - Album Review

Diverse, complex and unique are all words that accurately describe the Indie/Alternative rock band, Edison Glass. Their debut album, A Burn or A Shiver, was a solid record and left much to be expected from EG's sophomore release, Time is Fiction.

Time is Fiction is upbeat without it ever becoming tiring. All of the instruments are worth mentioning. The musicianship is above and beyond your average rock band. The drum beats are tight, the two guitars weaving in and out of each other in complex r… Continue

Concert Review and A More Serious Experience

Well, my Dad and I made the two and half hour (each way) road trip to Orange yesterday to see Disciple, Decyfer Down and Skillet. :D

If you don't want to read the next part (spoilers), then let me just say it's face melting, head banging AWESOMENESS and if you don't have tickets yet, buy them. Really.
I have a very serious story at the end that doesn't include any spoilers, so if you want to read that scroll down to the bottom of the post.

*SPOILERS/REVIEW BEGIN*

Decyfer Down was up first and… Continue

Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. How we thank God, who gives us victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ our Lord!


1 Corinthians 15:55-56 NLT

Jesus lives, and so shall I: Death, thy sting is gone forever! He for me hath deigned to die, lives the bands of death to sever. He shall raise me from the dust: Jesus is my hope and trust.

Late reply on your comment, but "Do Lord" was a cover, and "Neutral" was original. Let me know if you get your wah song up. I love the wah pedal. Wish more people used it well.
