All about me Chad Russell www.chadmrussell.com

Well where do I start? I am an honest, hardworking guitarist who believes in music theory
and composition. I have studied the six string wonder for almost ten years now and for at
least seven of those years I have studied under the master classical guitarist David
Brandon. He continues to teach me more and more about guitar and music theory every
time I see him. For six years I have been an instructor at his studio; teaching full time. I
Have also earned my music degree from texas tech university.

My influences are pretty crazy. I like all styles of rock, metal, some death metal, blues,
jazz, classical, some country ( I am a native Texan), and some pop. My favorite guitarist are
as follows: Randy Rhoads, Eddie Vanhalen, David Brandon, Monte Montgomery, Joe
Satriani, Alex Lifeson, Billy Gibbons, John Petrucci, Zakk Wylde, Dimebag Darrell, Eric
Johnson, Jimmy Page, Kirk Hammett, Paul Gilbert, Slash, SRV, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton,
Angus Young, and well I could go on forever. My top five biggest are Rhoads, VanHalen,
Zakk Wylde, Dimebag, Monte Montgomery. David Brandon has been my guitar teacher for
years so.... he has a pretty huge influence on who I am as a Musician. ..........So basically I
like anything that has thought, time, passion, theory, and well, the guitar involved.

My personal style is exactly what you would imagine it would sound like. It is described as
follows: Joe Satriani meets VanHalen with a dab of Jimmy Page and pinch of Zakk Wylde.
MY style is a fusion between rock, blues, and metal, which usually has some pretty radical
results!
