Jim Reindel is a highly regarded and accomplished axe wielder currently based in Olmsted Falls, Ohio (United States) who represents his playing style as progressive hard rock instrumental guitar, as a listener can readily appreciate on his most recent album, "Too Dumb To Quit".  His most utilized guitar is a Flying V. Reindel has been playing guitar since 1972, and without beating around the bush reveals his career aspiration, "Along with my partner in Too Old To Rock, Chris Hattingh, we'd like to have upwards of five great guitar albums under our belts, which will stand the test of time."
When prompted to divulge his ultimate effect for the guitar, Reindel responded by saying, "Reverb," and continued by citing his musicial goals, "I'm tired of what I perceive as a general lowering of standards in contemporary rock guitar music (with a few notable exceptions of course), and I'm trying to counter that trend by creating some guitar music that will inspire and challenge those guitarists that come after us." He eagerly hopes to one day study with Steve Vai, and is presently listening to Steve Vai, Dream Theater, Rush, Michael Schenker and Joe Satriani. His principal fulfillment? "Getting positive feedback on my music from fellow guitarists," he declares without a doubt.
 Reindel concludes by detailing current and approaching undertakings enthusiastically, by saying, "For right now I can't see much beyond the Too Old To Rock release. Chris and I are gonna spend the next 4-6 months just trying to market and promote the first CD and get it off the ground. After that we'll probably take a short break and then start writing material for the next TOTR album."
Guitar Nine Records visitors have compared the playing style and/or musical approach of Jim Reindel to guitarists such as Nuno Bettencourt, Joe Satriani, Michael Schenker and others.
Reindel's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes one recording project (Too Old To Rock "Too Dumb To Quit").
