|  |  |  |  |  |  | | | | | | Bio of the Artist | A Big Guitar offers genre breaking guitar rock compositions including adding hip-hop beats, orchestral arrangements and electronic elements. Please stay tuned for more details.
A Big Guitar got its start in the mid 90s primarily with rock. As time progressed, A Big Guitar began to explore various other genres. ABG is primarily influenced by rock and composes primarily with rock (usually instrumentals). Sometimes ABG breaks genres by mixing them together such as rock and symphonic or rap beats and rock. Not all tracks contain guitar work. Most songs do contain guitar work, however. Don't be surprised to hear songs containing only orchestral or electronic elements, though.

Influences
ABG is influenced by many different artists and music. The guitar work is influenced Vai, Satch, VH, and various other in this style. Composition is most influenced by Mike Oldfield and various other composers and bands.
Composing
Too much commercial music today is driven by beat, heavy driving one chord guitar work or by short bleeps and blips of a synth. Little thought is placed on musical composition in in today's mainstream music. Even still, ABG is compositionally influenced by everything from pop to orchestral arrangements. Emphasis in any ABG composition, however, is always on the melody no matter the instrument used to execute it or the beats involved. ABG's main influence in compositions, however, derives from a combination of Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen and Mike Oldfield with a sprinkling of Pink Floyd thrown in occasionally.
