08/10/06 - The next tune
from the demo is up. I'll
post a detailed
explanation for the
inspiration and thought
processes behind the
multitude of parts as
soon as I can.

06/18/06 - The Network Pacific Records "Contemporary Jazz Sampler Vol. 1" is out
now. I'm very proud to be included on this compilation; there are some very talented
musicians from all over the world! You can purchase the CD at
www.networkpacificrecords.com/currentprojects.html or you can purchase the
CD through me by dropping me an E-mail.

06/02/06 - I'll be adding some new lessons in the next few weeks. These will focus on
concepts that haven't been beaten to death on thousands of other lessons pages (like
3 and 5 string sweep arpeggios that seem to be the coolest thing to impress people on
youtube and myspace). Most will focus on some of the more "out there" compositional
techniques that I use in my own music, so they'll probably be of no use to anybody. I'll
be posting them as I complete parts of them, so if only part of it is posted, rest assured
that the rest is coming. Also, feel free to send me any suggestions.

03/11/06 - The Third song from the demo is complete. This one's extremely out there
and requires an open mind to listen to; you can check it out in the sounds section or on
my myspace page.

02/20/06 - So, I finally got a myspace page. It really is a great resource for musicians
(as well as a means through which MTV generation individuals can perpetuate
erroneous thought). Anyway, off my soapbox I go. You can check it out HERE.

02/14/06 - The next tune from the demo is in now in the sounds section. It's a pretty
far out tune conceptually and musically; constantly shifting meters, tempo and keys.
Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

02/07/06 - So, some things will be changing around the site in the months to come. I'm
starting to record my first demo and hope to be finished by late May/earlyJune. The
first tune off the demo ("Aquatic Labyrinth") will be appearing on Network Pacific
Records- "Contemporary Jazz Sampler Volume One". I'll let you know when it comes
out; you'll be able to order copies through me. For now, you can hear the song in the
"Sounds" section. I'm going to try to finally update the "Lessons" section as soon as I
get the chance, as it has remained stagnant for quite a while now. As usual, I'm still
teaching, so if you need a guitar teacher and are located in or around the Bay Area,
drop me a line. And, as always, feedback is always welcome and appreciated. I guess
that's about it.

07/28/07 - A new tune is up in the sounds section. This one has a little different

Also, some new lessons are in the works.
