Artist History I've been in a number of bands over the years and have released a CD with the Progressive Metal band, Wizdom. Click the link below or above for more information on that project... I guess you could say my favorite thing about music is harmony. It envokes many emotions when used properly. I've been playing for about 24 years now and started on an acoustic way back in 1976. I think learning on a box guitar and playing 'You Are My Sunshine' early on was good for my overall sense of rythym and melody. Too many kids these days learn the minor scale and they're off to the races. No matter what speed you are playing, always keep a sense of melody... After writing some instrumental music, I have been trying to get it recorded properly. Most of the music on this site is essentially demo material until I can get a real drummer and a proper studio to do it right. I am currently seeking a gig with a touring act or something similiar, so if you are SERIOUSLY interested contact me. My E-mail is: tomaustin@yahoo.com -This is my favorite kind of music, so if you don't like guitars in full shredding harmony then change the channel!!! Otherwise, enjoy! :)
