for his musical stuff

His band, Dark Shift is currently planning a south
american tour next january. This kid has everything he
needs to succed in this life... give him a listen and
drop him a line! currently recording his solo album-
"Unleashed" (name is pending) check out
http://www.guitar9.com/undiscov43e.html and d/l 2 of
his demo tracks for free. this is a serious matter.
this kid is 22 and plays more profficient than people
that have been in the bussiness for many years.

Most people dont care about all that stuff... "what
does he sound like?". well, he has the technical grace
of yngwie malmsteen, the ingenuity of paul gilbert,
but with a heavy jon petrucci side that gives him an
aggressive edge. fans of dream theater and Yngwie'
solo carreer are in for a treat.



Joel currently owns his own production studio. JTW
Music LLC and is stationed in milwaukee. He is
currently seeking endorsement from ibanez and will be
having his solo cd out in (hopefully) december. a
great stocking stuffer for all those progressive fans
out there. in the mean time, satiate your need for
highly technical and skilled played with "his" Dark
Shift debut cd

Hey ingwee moonbeam or joe or whatever your stupid fake name is...
go pedal your crap somewhere else.

I just listened to some of his stuff...and you're right, he's ok. But unless his solos were written in eight keys each, I heard him mess up a lot. He tries to cover up his mistakes with a lot of distortion, but he goes flat all too often. Sloppy...except for "Last Door"s solo. That was fine guitar playing.

hey... well first off... that stuff is not his real stuff... its just demo's!!!! once he gets everything polished up... its awesome stuff! email me if you want a free demo cd... its pretty cool. like yngwie and stuff... yngwievaisatch@yahoo.com

his stuff is boring..his shredidng at certain points is sloppy..his ingunity of paul gilbert..might i tell u paul gilbert isnt osmtihn to be prud off, his playing is stale or "starile as a doctors hand" someone said that here before.. hes nothing like malmsteen besides the ability to wank off on the guitar..malmsteen has "some" that watch melodic or catchy or watever..this guy on the other hand..no..i agree with everyone else that hes "ok"

ok, we're being too judgmental. He's pretty good. He can play quickly, and that's great. But he needs to diversify. He should take his skills and use them in more than just one form of music. Though I like shredding, it's certainly not all that I can do, and while I'm not a great guitarist by any means, I can do more than wank off (although wanking off is almost as fun as getting laid).
