About Artist
Hey Everyone! Thanks for stopping by my page-I am a lead guitarist with many influences that I have used over the years to develop my own style. To name a few, George Lynch, Steve Stevens, Nuno Bettencourt, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani. These are just some of the many-I believe Eddie Van Halen, Hendrix, Brian May were the influences early on and they just kept coming-there are many more. The list above is kind of who I have been compared to in a lot of respects, but still maintaining my own sound!. All the music that I play and that is downloaded is all me. I am using the DR.880 Roland drum machine to tap out all the drum and bass parts and sometimes I will just play the bass parts on a bass guitar, but I have both options. Then I will run my guitar through the drum machine to get the fat Mesa Boogie sound that I'm getting out of my Jackson which has been tweeked a little. All this info after mixdown and master gets sent in a WAV. file to my laptop and stored in my I tunes player and converted to mp-3 format to then be downloaded onto my music players. I also designed the CD inner and outer sleeve designs on my computer along with burning images onto the faces of the CD through my Photosmart printer. All the music sound quality is coming from an 8 track Tascam DP-02 cf digital recorder. I think it has tremendous recording capabilities even more so than the newer models and it works for me so this is the system I am using currently. I write in lots of different styles on my pages but keep within the progressive realm of the music spectrum to hopefully capture a wider range of fans that can enjoy multiple song structures within the sound that I get from my instrument. I hope to capture a large fan base and one day soon would like to take it to the next level! I am constantly writing and post new music very often. I hope you all like what you hear and thanks so much for your time and interest! You can also find me at Myspace under my name ToddMendieta! Sincerely, Todd
