About Me |
|
PROFESSIONAL GUITARIST AND TUTOR AVAILABLE FOR SESSION WORK. OZZY OSBOURNE considered me as replacement for his long time guitarist ZAKK WYLDE in late 2005. At the time, Zakk was very busy with his own band BLS and Ozzy announced he was looking for a new guitarist. I sent a demo CD to his house in Buckinghamshire and two weeks later I get a phone call from Ozzy expressing a lot of interest. To hear Ozzy Osbourne say to me "I've heard your CD and I'm really f***ing impressed man..." was one, if not THE proudest moment of my life. Unfortunately a couple of months later it's announced that Zakk had rearranged his BLS schedule and made himself available for Ozzy again. CRAP news for me but I can't say I blame him. With 'Prince of Darkness' Feb' 08. With INTERSTATE My main job is guitar tuition which includes teaching people all over the world via the internet. With BRIAN TATLER from DIAMOND HEAD and Phill Lynott look alike HALDIN in the Thin Lizzy tribute band DIZZY LIZZY '94. With Interstate May 06. Feb 08. Various solos played by me: If you can't see the song player below, hit the F5 button and let the page refresh. Some of these files were recorded with bands in a studio and some were recorded with backing tracks on a home computer. |
