Will Landrum is a vibrant, dynamic guitarist from Herndon, Virginia (U.S.A.) who describes his style as heavy rock instrumental with blues and neo-classical influences, as demonstrated on his latest release, "Living Digits".  His guitar of choice is a Scalloped neck guitar. Landrum has played guitar since 1980, and clearly states his career goal, "Just a compositional journey, and documenting that journey with recordings as I go along."
When asked about his favorite effect for the guitar, Landrum replied, "Distortion," and mentioned 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 would love to someday study movie soundtrack production, and is currently 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 greatest satisfaction? "Composing and recording. There's no better feeling than playing back a rough or final mix of something that you alone have created," he states unequivocally.
Landrum lists ongoing and upcoming projects thusly, "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."
