Home for Eric Peterson in Salt Lake City (ericpeterson-music.com) with the full albums showing here from 1999 onward - Indie artist, composer, guitar teacher, author. (Not the channel for Eric P. from Testament/Guitar World who has single songs in my channel as has the same name. Spotify is unable to fix it including Cheeseburger In Paradise, Winter Sun, etc.). Welcome to his fans though. Anyway, my bio - Eric Peterson began playing the guitar at age 7, but not seriously until age 15 upon receiving an electric guitar. He was hooked on the dominant guitar bands of the ’80s including Van Halen, Dokken, AC/DC, and Yngwie Malmsteen. Eric joined his first rock band after only playing the guitar for 3 months and began teaching the guitar a year later. Eric’s been in various bands over the years but has worked mainly as a solo artist and studio musician. Eric’s main influences include Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci, Eric Johnson, Neal Schon, Michael Hedges, and Christoper Parkening. Eric can be found in his project/home studio creating new instrumental songs, improvising over jam tracks or piano loops, transcribing other instruments for the guitar, practicing technical guitar licks or techniques, or collaborating with a musical friend or client. Eric has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in IT Security and works by day as the Director of Security Operations for a global MSSP protecting its customers.
