Will Landrum is a seasoned, altogether exciting six-stringer from Herndon, Virginia (U.S.A.) who reveals his style as heavy rock instrumental with blues and neo-classical influences, as one can clearly experience on his latest album, "Will Landrum".  His favorite guitar is a Scalloped neck guitar. Landrum has played guitar since 1980, and freely acknowledges his career aspiration, "Just a compositional journey, and documenting that journey with recordings as I go along."
When requested to reveal his ultimate effect for the guitar, Landrum answered back with, "Distortion," and then brought up his musicial goals, "Music is very spiritual by nature. I want to penetrate the listener's soul. To evoke a tear with a phrase. To make the hair on your arm stand up. My music really moves me. I hope that it can be percieved in this way by others as well." He fervently hopes to one day study movie soundtrack production, and is at this time listening to his own music ("I'm not really listening to others these days. I just want to use my past influences and forge my own unique style"). His primary fulfillment? "Composing and recording. There's no better feeling than playing back a rough or final mix of something that you alone have created," he affirms conclusively.
 Landrum concludes by mentioning continuing and future undertakings succinctly, by saying, "I am currently working on making my web site larger. I want to have it contain as much guitar playing information that I have experienced myself, in order to help others achieve the level that they are working toward. At the same time, I am writing new tunes for my next CD release."
