INTRODUCTION
I'm the guitarist for the punk rock band Mortal Flower that was formed in the later 1980s. I joined the band replacing the original guitarist. I also played with a few other bands during the early days but we didn't last long. We had a long haitus until we got back together in 2018 for the release of our delayed full EP that we recorded in the 1990s.
PLAYING STYLE
I'm greatly influenced by the British metal scene of the 80s. My early influences were Scorpion, Iron Maiden and Search (from Malaysia). I had a couple of friends from school that also inspired me to play better. I don't have a particular routine. It's just pick and play and find songs that I enjoy playing.
MAIN INSTRUMENTS
Ibanez, Cort, Hamer, and currently Epiphone. Most were direct purchases from guitar shops. There were no online shops in the 1990s, so a trip to Swee Lee, Yamaha and City Music was a must and also some shops in Peninsula Plaza.
OTHER EQUIPMENT
Fender, Peavey, Marshall, Zoom H6N, Boss ME-25 and some Boss pedals.
OTHER LOCAL GUITARISTS YOU FIND INTERESTING
