This is an original piece still in progress, written in January 2008. Jimi Hendrix and many other phenomenal artists have inspired my love of music. I am looking for a Colorado band and/or venue where I can perform.
I love music that uses the guitar as the voice rather then a back-up. And an artist who can use a guitar in that manner has reached a higher level of musician. Keep working, I look forward to buying your first CD.
Thank you, Derek. There's nothing like diving into our passions. If this is the gift you choose to pursue, do it with all your heart and be the best you could possibly be. Never let anyone tell you you can't do it. As the scripture says, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" Rom 8:31
Wow, just wow
once again I'm speechless, so I'll simply say this - I think I remember why musicians are called "artists".
Thank you

Very nice, Derek. Your composition and playing style reminds me of Steve Hackett (one of my all-time favorite guitarists).
