Hope all is well on this beautiful Sunday.

I just felt the need to share some of my new musical creations with all of you good people.

In short, I'm a primarily a instrumental guitarist and acoustic & electric guitar builder (as well as a mad dog '17 FZ-10 rider) and I play progressive rock/metal guitar. Think of Rush, Steve Vai, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden . . . etcetera.

My music home page is in my profile here, but I'll post it here too - (under my profile: "Contact Info | Home Page")

It may not be your cup of tea, but I felt the need to share with you good people in any event. I hope that you may find some of it to your liking.

Wow, nice playing. I may be old but that just means I got to see all the great bands!!

My Son is a musician as well as working for Nasa and I know how hard it is to get noticed, but I'm surprised that's not your day job (unless it is?) Very nice I'm a fan!

Sounds awesome 😎

That's awesome David. I have a lot of respect for musicians, it takes a lot of practice and talent to sound that good.

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words. :smile2:

My Father "Fred Gerlach" and I are the musical patriarchs of the Gerlach clan.

My Father is (was) a master acoustic 12&6-string guitar builder and player and he took me under his wing many years ago. I've got about 11 or so acoustic 6-string dreadnaught builds under my belt thanks to his tutelage. Premium hand-crafted acoustic guitar building takes a very long time, unlike todays modern build that are 99% done with CNC (computer numerical computation) machines. No love or personal emotion IMHO implementing these type of guitar builds.

My first and foremost passion in life is my music, next is my love for the beauty and journey of IMO the ultimate study of life's treasures, pure mathematics.

Anyhow, I can be gregarious at times, so I'll cease fire at that juncture.

Just for some more fun. A new creation, a progressive semi-rock fusion WIP clip I put together last week. Again, it may not be your cup of tea, but at least give a fellow '10' brutha a shot . . .

Just like all food (IMO) tastes better with bacon, all music sounds better cranked up loud peeps!

And a quick shorty. I had a brief daydream that my custom Quicksilver had turned into a AM radio!
