Jim Crye Dallas Fort Worth Guitarist: started playing guitar 17 years ago and have not stopped since. Ace Frehley is the reason I even started playing guitar. Joes Garage was a local metal club in the 80's where I used to go watch Pantera play everytime they had a gig there before they got signed. So Dimebag was a big direct influence on me. Bill Ham, whom I took lessons from, was the guitar player for Sonny and Cher and was also a big direct influence. The others that matter are, in no particular order: Billy Gibbons, Jeff Beck, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Jake E. Lee, Jerry Cantrell, Incubus, Sevendust.
Local Dallas/Ft.Worth area bands I have played with are: KRY (metal), Sarcasm (metal), Twisting Cain (hard rock), Riding Shotgun (covers), Five Leaves Left (diva alternative), Blue Buddha (funk rock).

Jaquie Gipson: I began playing the guitar at the age of 14. My first real guitar was a Fender Mustang (Yes, I still have it). I played rhythm guitar in a small garage band and also in the High School Stage Band. It was when I was in college that I first heard of Leo Kottke and his amazing guitar playing. It changed the way I thought guitars were played. I put the electric guitar down and picked up the acoustic. I listened to dozens of guitarists, both acoustic and electric ...

Marty Friedman has sold over 10 million albums with the multi-platinum band Megadeth. He has also a dedicated following for his own solo albums which stylistically range from orchestral soundtrack style music to furious aggressive rock, with the common thread being Marty`s unique and tasty sense of melody. His latest album is called `Music For Speeding` and it marks his solo debut with the heavy hitting major label Universal Japan as well as Steve Vai`s Favored Nations label in the US. Marty has toured the world several times over very successfully with Megadeth. Along with touring, he is in high demand to do music/guitar seminars and clinics all over the U.S., Asia, Europe and South America, which he has done hundreds to date. Marty is also a regular columnist for Guitar World magazine, Young Guitar magazine (Japan) and Burrn Magazine in which he writes a column in Japanese, a reader favorite. Marty has designed his own signature model guitar with Jackson Guitars (the KE-1) that has been selling consistently since it was put on the market. He has just begun an endorsement relationship with Ibanez. His new 'Marty Friedman model' guitar will make its world debut in Oct '05 at the Tokyo Music Show.
Along with doing his solo performances around the world, Marty is currently touring and recording with Japanese mega-star Aikawa Nanase.
Before joining Megadeth in Feb.1990, Marty was in a band called Cacophony, which released 2 albums (among their indie label's highest selling) and toured the U.S. and Japan. This band highlighted the potent guitar playing of Marty and fellow guitarist Jason Becker (who was to join David Lee Roth's band and record an album with him in 1990). Marty has received extremely high acclaim and many awards around the world for his unmistakably `Marty-esque` way of playing the guitar.
Marty is from Washington D.C. originally but has lived in many places including Hawaii, Germany and California, giving him an odd and interesting approach to making his music. He currently resides in Tokyo.

Received 27 gold and platinum records from around the world
Received 5 Grammy nominations
Headlined 'Rock in Rio' in front of 140,000 in Brazil
