I wanted the nickname "Sevenstring" because I play a seven-string guitar with a high "A" string. I had to settle with eightstring, but I plan to actualy build an eight string shortly with both the high "A" string and with a low "A" string. (I build my own guitars)

Of course, my greatest guitar influence was Lenny Breau, Ted Greene, and not to forget George Van Eps

I also play the pedal steel guitar, and if you notice all my favourites (Canadian spelling) are pedal steel guitar players. The pedal steel is an extremely difficult instrument to master.

My biggest wish and my only motive in presenting these videos, is that every person/guitar player/jazz player/anyone interested in Jazz Guitar, pass along these videos of Lenny Breau and Ted Greene to anyone interested in the guitar.
