We all know that the acoustic guitar is mostly known for playing country, folk, and blues music on it. The acoustic guitar was never well known for playing rock n’ roll on it but why not? Acoustic rock does exist in the mainstream music world. For starters, it was Led Zeppelin that started the whole acoustic rock thing. That’s pretty much where I got my acoustic rock sound from was by listening to too much Led Zep pretty much. There have been other acoustic rock artists in the industry like Neil Young for example. Dave Matthews is another one. Simon & Garfunkel definitely and also the Beatles. There’s also Creedence Clearwater Revival and Lou Reed who took acoustic rock to another level.

What I wanted to do was write rock songs on the acoustic just as you would on the electric guitar. That’s probably why a lot of my acoustic originals sounds so tight and energetic most of the time. I think that’s what my internet album is gonna sound like. It’s gonna be an acoustic rock album. Most of it will have hot guitar playing on it. It could be an album for every guitar player’s dream. It’ll probably have solos and shredding all over it.

I try to do the folk music thing and write mellow songs but I’m more used to writing rock stuff, though. I’ll try to write mellow stuff for the album and will. I’m just hoping to take acoustic guitar playing to the next level. It’ll be a rockin’ album, trust me. Ya know something, everyone wants to view the acoustic guitar as a country, bluegrass or a folk instrument but it can be a rock instrument too and I wanna prove that. You don’t always need an electric guitar and distortion to play rock n’ roll. You can play rock n’ roll on acoustic too. If you wanna see more evidence of that, you have to see me perform live to believe it.

I just wanted to be different than everyone else musically. Something unique. Something that nobody has ever seen or heard before. There’s not many acoustic guitarists out there that play acoustic like the way I do. Not trying to sound egotistical, just telling it like it is.
