None are really finished they are really works in progress. I believe the guitar is one of the most beautiful instruments and try to fully express myself emotionally in all these pieces. I play my 98 Custom Shop Fender Stratocaster with Dimarzio pickups/ customized Floyd Rose whammy and other mods on most of these tracks. Other equipment I use is : Washburn g2-V Electric Acrylic flying v electric Alvarez Electric/acoustic Johnson Electric 4 string Bass Morley Bad Horsey and DOD wah wah 100 watt Marshall G100R with avt 412 cab Marshall Mg 50dfx Amp Fender FM65 amp Boss Me-70 effects processor Art Sge with x-11 controller More recent bass parts I play with a Johnson 4 string run direct. Older works the bass parts were done on 6 string guitar octaved down to sound like a bass Musicstar Midi Keyboard controller Most recordings for this this year Drums are done by my friend Carlo Presti aka spiderdrum and played and recorded live at his home. Most of the Artwork is created by my lovely wife <b>"LJ" </b>I've played in many bands over the years. Both in the studio and on the road. ( I did do 1 movie soundtrack in La many years ago and some session work) but for the last few I have mainly been concentrating on writing and recording guitar instrumental music. I took a very LONG break from the music business until recently. I use multiple programs for recording/mastering,(only guitars) Such as Sonar 4 producer/ sonar x1 ,Audacity,adobe Soundbooth My influences are: Joe Satriani, EVH, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Buckethead, and any other innovating guitarist I've ever heard. I love all GUITARIST's :) and listen to ALL. My real name is not important only the music! Just call me XY :)) <b>~Xy</b>
