Though electric shred is my passion I have learned many instruments, styles and aspects of music.
Certain fans (probably musicians) want to hear the instruments speak to them, which they can understand a bit better than the average listener.
The fact that we are brothers in our case plays a big... wait, a huge part in our chemistry when we play. Things just naturally happen between us musically.
A good website is key to successful promotions. Also Reverb Nation is a pretty important portal to be signed up to. It is a good place to network.
