Rich Murray

I've been playing guitar for 24 years.
Studied at the Bloom School of Jazz in Chicago 1991.
Graduated from GIT in Hollywood 1993.

I currently own 5 guitars:
- 1991 Fender Strat (heavily modded)
- 2005 Schecter Gryphon
- Ovation Standard Balladeer steel string
- Yamaha G-235 classical
- old beat-up Gibson Melody Maker (my "Pat Travers" guitar).

I did a lot of teaching after graduating from GIT, through music stores and privately. Never did much gigging though.

On the non-guitar side of things, I received an MCSE certification from Harper College in 2000. I work in IT Security. I live in Illinois with my wife and 2 sons.
