About Me |
|
| ********Update April 21, 2008*********** Fire at Mann Gulch was just awarded Best Guitars in Rock, week of 21Apr2008 ********Update April 8, 2008*********** I'm pleased to post the finished version of "Fire at Mann Gulch" on my page. This song features 3 My Space guitarists. I play the rhythmn guitars as well as the intro and the ending. Denny Goodridge from Florida plays the first part of the solo which goes from 2:05 to about 2:24. Sinisha Cekic from Serbia plays the next part of the solo from 2:24 to 2:46. Denny plays again from about 2:46 to 2:56. Each guitarist has a distinct style so I think it will be clear to the listener when one guitarist stops and the other starts. Both Denny and Sinisha have MySpace pages so check them out. Denny's song Cyclops Island was 1 on the Garageband.com Instrumental Rock charts and he has some awesome tunes. Sinisha has a very fluid, amazing style and I think you will enjoy his playing as well. Enjoy! Eric ************************************ "This Year" is a preview song from my second CD which is currently in the works. It has been doing very well on the charts over at GarageBand.Com.

Mood for a Day(Howe) I would like very much like to thank the following friends for their guest appearances: Larry Kelsey: guitar Joe DeHaven: guitar, vocal Hardy Cash: bass Bill Hargreaves: keyboards The next CD is already in the works. I'd love to have MySpace musicians play on it. I chose "Crazy World Big Sound" as the name for this musical project because I hoped I could get musicians from around the globe to play on it. So, if you have any interest in doing some collaboration over the Internet, just let me know. ************************************************** Eric Farmer has played the guitar since age 10 and is primarily self-taught. He is influenced by many great guitarists. His first real influences were Jimi Hendrix, Joe Perry and the guitarists in Southern Rock bands like Lynard Skynard and Blackfoot. Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Alex Lifeson and Al Di Meola were heavy influences in the 80s. While Eric is influenced by all these guitarists, he sounds like none of them. Eric has played in bands almost continually since age 14. From 1986 to 1988 he played full time in an East Coast rock band called the Sparkplugs. The Sparkplugs played up and down the East Coast as well as in the Caribbean. After this experience he played part-time for several years in another East Coast band called The Ride. Since 1999, he has played in RiversEdge - a band that has recorded two albums. |
