Vernon Neilly is a sparkling, vital guitarist from Los Angeles, California (USA) who describes his style as elements of classical, jazz, blues, rock, funk, R&B, hiphop, even country all melded together, as documented on his latest release, "G-Fire".  His guitar of choice is a Signature series Aslin Dane USA Custom. Neilly has played guitar since 1967, and openly affirms his career goal, "I have been very fortunate to already have a great career in music working with legendary performers and building a successful indie record label, but I would like to most of all help others try to reach their goals and potentials."
When requested to name his preferred effect for the guitar, Neilly responded with, "The original Big Muff," and submitted his musicial goals, "Music is about feeling and expression, so hopefully people can feel what I was feeling when I created and composed the music that I love to play." He would like to someday study international banking, and is currently listening to old Miles Davis, Tower Of Power, and George Benson. His greatest satisfaction? "When I am on stage and I am looking into the sea of faces and see that they are diggin' what I am doing, because then we are of one accord. There is no greater high musically," he states indisputably.
 Neilly notes ongoing and upcoming projects thusly, "Because I am the CEO/PRES of my own label Boosweet Records (www.boosweet.com), the daytime is pretty much spent on admistrative duites for my label and the evening is when I get to practice, or I am out playing somewhere. I have a female artist that I am releasing in a few months who's got a great project, and I will be releasing another solo CD around the first of next year on myself."
Neilly's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes several recording projects (G-Fire "G-Fire", Vernon Neilly & G-Fire "G-Fire II", Kiko Loureiro "Universo Inverso", Vernon Neilly & Friends "Tribute To Stevie Wonder").
