* I am a Jazz-Fusion Guitarist * writer * Linux Freak * artist * and computer hacking addict(using only GNU-Linux of course). I learned to alternate pick years ago from Paul Gilbert's Intense Rock Video. I am now and forever learning jazz. I am also a guitar design engineer and only play my hand made guitars. I have also built many guitars for Eddie Van Halen * two basses for Brian Bromberg and instruments for several other artists. I am studying for computer certifications currently and do a lot of weird digital art. I also write dark * introspective poetry
