About Me |
|
| Known for his clever sense of melody, diverse style which allows him to pull a rabbit out of a ‘strat’, tremendous work ethic and his extraordinary love of his instrument, Los Angeles’ Ruben Reza is a guitarist like no other.
Ruben recently completed recording ‘iOpener’, a CD containing three songs that represent a sampling of the many facets of music he creates. The first track entitled ‘Opener’ is a heavy rocker which delivers Ruben’s aggressive side via haunting and hypnotic themes. ‘Serenata Di Roxanna’, track two, is a flamenco inspired number perfect for driving up the coast with the top down. ‘Lizard’ then drenches you with sexy blues-based grooves. The final cut, ‘My Love’, is a classic jazz ballad with enduring melodies and tasty changes. Ruben has been playing guitar for over 25 years. He bought his first guitar from a friend at the age of 14. “I didn’t know anything about the guitar at all; I dug the chrome pickups, knobs and switches. I thought it just looked so cool.” He was immediately seduced by the sound coming out of his 8-track-player-turned-guitar amplifier. This began a relentless pursuit to listen, learn, and emulate anything and everything he heard. Within three weeks Ruben joined his first band and hasn’t stopped since. He received a call back from an audition for the lead guitar spot in Ozzy Osbourne’s band in ’94 and has also recorded with members of the Brian Setzer Orchestra. In addition, performers/artists he has recorded with include: ARTIST |

My Interests |

Music:Member Since: 22/09/2007Influences: Randy Rhoads was and still is a major inspiration to me. He is the reason I took the guitar seriously. I wish I would've stuck to my plans of going to the L.A. Sports Arena show on New Year's Eve 1981. I never got to see Randy live but those last live Diary tour recordings display an incredible sense of theory, melody, harmony and soul. Randy felt every note he played. My tributes to Randy's solos in the 'Tonight' from the Diary Of A Madman album are below. Peace, RR Record Label: Unsigned |
