John Inman is a 'righteous', dazzling guitar player from Dallas, Texas (U.S.A.) who expresses his style as progressive jazz rock, as one can appreciate on his latest album, "skiesWIDEopen".  His favorite guitar is an Ibanez (FGM400/S series). Inman has played guitar since 1986, and candidly avows his career aspiration, "Make a living in music, one way or another."
When asked to name his number one effect for the guitar, Inman answered back with, "Reverb and delay," and then cited his musicial goals, "I try to express emotion through melody, much like my hero Neal Schon. It's my opinion that if you can't move someone with your notes, what's the point? I try to create lead parts that sing, like a verse, chorus, etc." He hopes to one day study piano and jazz music ("I would love to study under a guitarist/composer like Al DiMeola. I'm really influenced by his overall instrumentation/compositions"), and is at this time listening to Journey, current "radio rock", and jazz/fusion ("I just go through heavy mood swings, and really love music"). His utmost fulfillment? "Being appreciated by a diverse audience as well as my musician peers, and of course, a great response at a live performance," he affirms unquestionably.
 Inman details continuing and future undertakings in his own words, "I play in two cover bands (Dance Regina, and THE CORE), aside from writing and recording my solo work."
Inman's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes one solo album ("skiesWIDEopen") and participation on another recording (Matt Cafissi "Heat Of Emotion").
