Bill Pierce is a 'righteous', vibrant guitarist from Hermon, Maine (U.S.A.) who describes his style as jazzed-out rock with influences from all styles of music, as documented on his latest release, "Ripped".  His guitars of choice include a Fender and an ESP. Pierce has played guitar since 1982, and openly affirms his career goal, "Playing nothing but original music for a living."
When prompted to reveal his preferred effect for the guitar, Pierce replied, "Digitech 2101, 2120, 2112," and offered his musicial goals, "I want to create the ultimate music: Great tunes with artistic integrity and burning chops." He would love to someday study with Allan Holdsworth, and is currently listening to Parliment, Funkadelic, Jeff Beck, Scott Henderson and Allan Holdsworth. His greatest satisfaction? "Playing my own music and having the audience like it," he states unambiguously.
 Pierce notes ongoing and upcoming projects thusly, "Getting my band ready to play my stuff, writting tunes and songs, and teaching. I will be releasing a new CD very soon."
Pierce's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes several solo albums ("Mirrors", "Ripped") and participation on a number of other recordings (Guitar 2001 "Lick This", Scott Hughes "Lapse", Man Vs. Himself "Man Vs. Himself").
