ABOUT

Hey im Leo. Music is my life and passion. I Play the Guitar now for roundabout 10 years and know to Play a Lot of different Styles. I Like arabic music as i Like rythm and Blues. So i played a time as a Bass Player in a arabic folk band or as lead Guitar Player in a Rockabilly band, i Like to Cross Musical borders.
I would say i have a Well trained ear and a good knowledge of Musical theory, so i can Jam easily spontaniously with other musicans. Sure im Not a Jazz virtuoso yet, im Always ready and Open to learn new stuff from you Guys. The learning never Stopps :)
So beside the Guitar, i also Love to Play bass and sing as well.

Influences

Im rooted heavily in Blues, soul and folk music, so i studied a Lot the greats Like John Lee hooker, lightin Hopkins, BB King etc. but also accoustic folk music in General.
As i progressed i also discovered a Lot Classic and progressive rock from the late 60s and mid 70s. Bands Like the Doors, CCR, Jefferson Airplane come in my mind.
As i Get older my interest for Jazz and chord melody stuff rises more and more. I admire the playing of greats Like Wes mentgomerey and George Benson. But also due to my folk Background i Love Northwest african Dessert rock (Tinariwen...) and in general the mixture of old traditional music with new Styles Like Rock and funk.

You See its hard for me to Cover all my influences. I Just Love everything that got Soul.
