I have been playing guitar ever since he was a child growing up. My influences have been Jimi Hendrix, John McLaughlin, Al Dimeola, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter, Roy Buchanon, Jimmy Page and a few others. I may have a taste of each one in my playing style from time to time. Like most musicians I have been though different stages of playing. When younger I played mostly Blues Rock guitar.http://www.myspace.com/jackfalkproject

Jack Falk Project

Being an independent artist. This move started out by having a few labels tell you they love you and your the best etc........ but they are not taking risk on this kind of music. Its not the 1970's anymore. Holding on to what I loved I continued on without any financial support from labels etc. Everything I did was on my own. This was now the late 90's and in investing my own money I started buying and selling analog multitrack recorders. There was a huge second hand market for these recorders as the turn of the independent musician and a home studio revolution was just starting to take place. I had Tascams, Otaris, MCI's, Ampex you name it they all came through my door. With all this going on I successfully got enough recording gear to do my own thing and not pay for studio time for recording. I was now ready for the next generation of music MP3's. MP3 sites were popping up all over the web. Only one was the real deal. The original MP3.com site. It no longer exists just a shell make shift version created by download.com. I do not have my music anywhere on that site.        I decided back in 1999 to place some of my recordings on the MP3.com site. Just a few Flying Without Wings, Homesick Blues and Cruising The Rainforest. These songs were from my massive collection of reel to reel tapes I recorded in my home studio. I checked back in a few days and noticed my songs were topping the charts. I was like is this real or what. The formula at mp3 was to have CD's for sale and make money off each CD. MP3 would burn CD's one sale at a time if need be and the artist collected a few dollars from each one sold. In my accounting over the years 1999-2001 I had sold over 250,000 CD's and had over 1 1/2 million downloads. This equaled out to big money. I mean enough to buy a new house, new cars, and all new furniture. Kinda like the rappers of today you know MTV cribs  LOL!!  This was my payoff for all the hard years trying to make it happen. I earned this and I waited a long time for this moment in time. Man I paid big bucks in taxes those years! Did I learn my lesson from the past NO............ I spent all the money but I have the rewards to show for it. Sure enough the easy street ride came to a sudden halt in 2001. MP3 got sued and Universal took over and piece by piece shut down the site. The financial good times once again were over except this time I got to ride it out and reap the rewards. Funny thing MP3 would never release the names of who bought the CD's from me so I never really knew who did, just where they were located. Even with these crazy off the charts sales figures I once again have a grammy award winning producer who believed in me represent me once again to the labels with all my sales results and guess what... Once again they passed on me. They said I was an amazing artist but they did not handle what I was doing musically. As if I didn't expect this. The producer thought for sure it would be a sure deal but no go. I was not surprised. OK so where to now you say......  http://jackfalk.wolfnetradio.com/MP3Music.htm.http://www.uncleshag.comthanks uncle shag for love of the music and desire to share jack falk music. Thanks for all you do
