Hi everyone...

My name is Dave, and I'm a metal guitarist from Connecticut (originally from Chicago). I have a Dean Vendetta guitar that I loaded an EMG-81 in the bridge position and an EMG-85 in the neck position. I play in a technical death metal band called Eyeless.

Some of my influences include: Jeff Loomis, James Murphy, Steve Smyth, Alex Lifeson, Al Di Meola, Randy Rhoads, Rob Arnold, Rob Barrett, Bill Steer, Michael Amott, Trey Azagthoth, Gus G, Zakk Wylde, Jon Donais, Scott Henderson, Frank Gambale, Paul Gilbert, George Lynch, Chuck Schuldiner, Andy LaRocque, amd John Petrucci.

I hope to learn lots and contribute as we go.

It only takes a few, Rev.!

Welcome aboard, I share many of the same influences. I just wish I had their ability. ;)

Hey Dave, welcome! I also like both kinds of music...Heavy and Metal. I think your list of influences is great. Rock on my Metal brother!
