Music Resume’
Talents: Electric Guitar, Bass-Guitar, Guitar Technology, Audio Engineering.
North Carolina
Born and raised in North Carolina. Obtained first guitar at age 12; learned to play by ear. Played trombone in Jr. High School, where first learned music theory. Began composing original guitar-music at age 16. Won High School talent-show with first rock-band (at age 17). Aced course in music theory in High School (at age 17). Designed original guitar on-paper, and started studying basic electronics (at age 19). Played part-time in volunteer religious orchestras (Christian) for 3 years. Became guitar repairman and teacher at small music store (at age 23). Spent much time jamming around town with garage bands (from age 16 to age 24).
Texas
Moved to Texas at age 24. Started studying math and physics and doing library research as new hobbies. Kept day-jobs as repairman while jamming around town with garage bands. Earned a certificate in electronics repair; started focus on audio electronics design. Founded the East Texas Musicians Association, in Tyler, TX (in 1983), a non-profit, sponsoring shows and serving as a musician’s referral service. Also continued practicing the guitar and composing original songs.
Colorado
Moved to Denver at age 32. Continued library research and began to write fiction as a new hobby, in addition to continuing practicing the guitar and writing originals. Kept day-jobs in repair while working part-time as a lead-guitarist in nightclubs (for 6 years). Became locally popular under the stage-name Kurtus Maximus. Also continued studying audio electronics, in addition to studying electrical and electronics technology to enhance day-job skills. Here, it was while working with Rock-bands in those years that took me to the shredder level.
North Carolina
Moved back to North Carolina at age 39. Kept day jobs in repair trades while working part-time as a guitarist in nightclubs. Also worked part-time as an audio engineer (sound-man) for regional bands. Spent a year playing lead-guitar with house-band at a large nightclub. Taught guitar for two semesters at Isothermal Community College, Spindale, NC. Wrote lesson-book Instructions for Guitar. Began designing guitar amplifiers and effects-devices (mostly on paper, but building some prototypes here and there). Attended college at Isothermal, where I also worked part-time as an audio-video technician. Started writing a technical manual titled Electric-Guitar Data and Analog-Circuit Collection (now completed and published online). Graduated with 3-year AS Degree in Math and Computers from Isothermal, then spent 1.5 years as a full-time student in the Physics program at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. Also, while in college I studied theoretical physics and mathematics far in excess of curriculum requirements, and completed the first recordings of 3 hours of originals.
Comments
This highlights my major musical accomplishments but gives little detail. For instance, it does not say that I have spent my entire working life, from age 16, practicing the guitar as much and as often as I could while holding down day-jobs (finally becoming a professional Industrial Engineer by my mid fifties). I also continued to learn many popular songs, write my own stuff, and practice difficult scales and licks on a routine basis. In Denver, besides learning leads note-for-note from Rock songs and Fusion music by famous players (such as Van-Halen, Satriani, Slash, and others) for working in bands, I also did a lot of note-for-note learning just for personal benefit. While in Denver, I put in three years each with two Rock-bands that became very popular locally; playing cover-tunes in beer-halls and biker-bars. It was there that I established myself as a shredder, acquired stage-name Kurtus Maximus (given to me by a drummer), and started getting advertised by name in a local entertainment weekly, before deciding to move back to North Carolina. I am now retired and divide my time between making recordings, composing new songs, playing in two bands, including The Tremblors, writing fiction novels, and doing research for my novels.
