The loudest man in Canada........eh?
I've been playing guitar since the age of about 8 or 9. I am basically a self taught musician although I did have formal music training at a later age. I played the Hollywood club circuit back in the early 90's however it was difficult to stay in the United States legally and I eventually returned to Canada.

Label Type: Unsigned
Band Members: Paul & his Weapons of Mass Destruction
Influences: Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Ritchie Blackmore, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Edward Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Matthias Jabs, Gary Moore, Les Paul, Al DiMeola, Paul Gilbert, B.B. King, Billy Gibbons, Uli Roth, Jim Marshall & Seymour Duncan.
Sounds Like: The Jonas brothers on crack.
Country: Canada

Riffguy, being a fan of your work for about two years now, I would greatly appreciate some tips on improvisation :P.
I've been playing guitar for about 4 years now on a crappy 200$ amp/guitar set up with almost no formal training except the basics and lots of practicing. I used to just play songs by my favorite bands, but now I try to make up my own solos and things to backing tracks. I know a bit about the pentatonic scale, but I'm still not very good at making a flowing, improvised solo. Any tips on how to get better?
