Vernon Neilly is an expressive and adroit axe wielder currently based in Los Angeles, California (USA) who represents his playing style as elements of classical, jazz, blues, rock, funk, R&B, hiphop, even country all melded together, as a music fan can now experience on his most recent recording, "G-Fire".  His workhorse guitar is a Signature series Aslin Dane USA Custom. Neilly has been playing guitar since 1967, and putting it simply, divulges his career objective, "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 asked to finally make public his favorite or most used effect for the guitar, Neilly unflinchingly stated, "The original Big Muff," and continued by outlining 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 maintains a desire to, at some point, study international banking, and is at the moment listening to old Miles Davis, Tower Of Power, and George Benson. His principal gratification? "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 explains absolutely.
Neilly wraps up by noting long-term and forthcoming endeavors enthusiastically, by saying, "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."
