My Guitars

Iceman

This is my Ibanez Iceman guitar...

...and this is my Steve Vai Jem Jr, 

Jem Jr.


And if you were wondering if these are actual photographs of my actual guitars... no!  They're not.  I took these from the  Ibanez  web site.  So how are you supposed to know whether or not I really own these guitars?  I guess you'll just have to accept that on faith...



Some cool guitar links

I recently (ok... maybe not so recently any more) saw  Joe Satriani  play at the State Theatre in Kalamazoo, MI, and it was the most incredible display of guitar prowess I have ever seen!  Therefore, no list of "Guitar Links" can be considered complete without having one for him.  The patron saint of my favorite guitar,  Steve Vai , also has his own web site.  One of the coolest guitar-centered songs ever, a remake of Hocus Pocus, was done by  Gary Hoey.  And of course, my list of favorite guitarists would be incomplete without the inclusion of John Petrucci of  Dream Theater, whom I saw on their "Scenes from a Memory" tour in 2000.  I saw DT's Milwaukee show, as well as their show at the State Theater in Detroit.  Then, to top off an amazing DT season, I saw the final performance of their SFAM tour at the Apollo in London, UK.   Highly recommended!

 
The man!
Also the man.
I just have two words:  Hocus Pocus
John Petrucci
Right up there with Satriani, but why doesn't he make more albums?  I saw him live at the Fillmore in San Francisco, where he was touring as part of Alien Love Child---really nice show.  The Derek Trucks Band opened for him, and they were fun too.
The Guitar Players' Association at Notre Dame.  So what if I'm not even a member?
The ultimate in guitar resources... good searches for tabulature...  I can't even begin to detail everything that's there!  Check it out for yourself.

 


 

Interested in a little of my playing?  You probably aren't, but here's a few mp3's anyway (very low-fi recordings---sorry):

pam.mp3 (3.7M)

DmMix.mp3 (3.0M)

 

Here are some mp3 excerpts of my brother Steve's music (note that they are not yet finished products---bass and vocals have not been recorded for most of them---and I just made up a couple of the song names, since I cannot remember them right now):

Two Minutes' Hate.mp3

La Luna Diabla.mp3

New Reality part I.mp3

New Reality part II.mp3

New Reality part III.mp3
