My name is Shawn.
I'm a guitarist, keyboardist, violist, violinist, and singer.
I like heavy metal and playing the various instruments I play. I like drinking beer.
I've played guitar, keyboard, and lead vocals in various thrash metal, power metal, hair metal and "arena rock" style bands over the years. I've also toured with several orchestras as a violist.
Favorite bands include Bon Jovi, Edguy, Savatage, Europe, Van Halen (both Roth and Hagar but more on the Hagar side), Journey, Avantasia, Whitesnake, Lizzy Borden, WASP, etc... basically melodic metal and rock. I also like classical music.
My favorite guitarists are Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Vito Bratta, and Richie Sambora.
