Blown James Ryan

I am a guitar teacher and clinician from Melbourne, Australia and currently share my time between playing live, writing and producing music and working the frets. I also do clinics and workshops for Roland and Boss, showcasing their recording and guitar gear (thanks guys). Career highlights include touring the US and South America with Australian legends Men at Work. Blown is a compilation of rockin' guitar tunes written over the last 5-6 years. The sounds and styles vary but the ROCK takes a front seat throughout. From the modern loop and synth filled sounds of Acid Tongue, Racing and Space Talk through to the bare boned melodic ballad Take a Breath and the total shredfest in in the title track Blown. This CD is an awesome driving/racing CD! WARNING...When listening to Blown while driving you WILL speed. Influences include.... Stevie Ray, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Richie Kotzen, Zakk Wylde, Joe Satriani, and Jeff Beck to name a small few.
