Pat Thomi is a vibrant and driven musician/guitarist currently based in Los Angeles, California (U.S.A.) who denotes his playing style as progressive pop/rock/fusion, as one might want to hear on his most recent recording, "Remote Control".  His workhorse guitar is a Strat (customized) made by Performance Guitars. Thomi has been playing guitar since 1976, and truthfully shares his career objective, "My own record label."
When the attempt was made to uncover his definitive or preferred effect for the guitar, Thomi purposefully responded with, "Depends on the track I'm working on," and then volunteered his musicial goals, "Realizing my musical vision." He keeps open the possibility to, at some point, study astronomy, and dig deeper into orchestration, and is at the moment listening to '70s stuff. His most important gratification? "When a musical vision truly comes to life," he muses emphatically.
Thomi winds up by detailing long-term and forthcoming endeavors insightfully, by saying, "Working on another ambient album, and would like to do either an orchestral or a cutting edge "tech" type progressive guitar album (we'll see whichever comes first)."
