2010 Guitar Superstar Submission - June 30, 2010
Still anxiously waiting to hear the results of the Top 10 Finalists for the 2010 Guitar Superstar Competition. Regardless of whether or not I made the Top 10, I'm very proud of my submission, my performance, and especially my writing. A friend said that it sounded a lot like Oz Noy, and I'm proud of that. I wrote the tune as a tribute to him after taking a lesson with him in SF. If you're not hip to Oz, you should be. I especially dig the way he uses effects to create the illusion of more instruments in a trio setting.

Wow, what a great week. I am in the studio finishing up some eEnik tracks that are just about ready to be unleashed. I also had a great gig with LT4 at Beckett's with Uriah Duffy (Whitesnake, Lyrics Born), Colin Hogan (Dynamic), and Dickie Ogden (Chemystry Set). We'll be there every Second Saturday. 2271 Shattuck, Berkeley CA. See you soon!
