Although his parents do not play instruments, his older sister played piano and organ, his brother plays bass and his younger sister plays clarinet.

| Larry Carlton |
|
| Like so many other Los Angeles studio musicians, guitarist and composer Larry Carlton was faced with a choice a number of years back: whether to go solo and develop a name for himself under his own name or to continue the less risky, more lucrative existence as a session guitarist, making good money and recording with prominent musicians. Fortunately for fans he chose to go with his gut feeling and has recorded under his own name for Warner Bros., MCA Records and GRP Records since 1978. |

| Eddie Van Halens - Brown Sound |
|
| Edward Van Halens technique, tone, and style are legendary. In a period where rock guitar had become stagnant, Edward burst onto the scene like a fireball. As we moved into the 80's, it seemed everyone had become an Eddie-clone, with their custom hot-rodded guitars strat-styled guitars and Marshall 100 watt tops. Edwards sound from that era has been dubbed the "brown sound".

| Jerry Reed |
|
| Jerry Reed was another of those child Prodigies who came to Nashville at a very early age, and has spent his entire life in music. I think Jerry was 18 when he moved to Nashville in 1955. Many Great Studio Guitarists were child prodigies. I think that to earn a good living playing Guitar, all your life, takes someone with the talent that a Child Prodigy has. |
