Randy Ellefson has played guitar since age 13 after being mesmerized by the first live guitar performance he saw. He built his first electric guitar for a 9th grade science project, then built another two years later and hasn''t played another electric guitar since. In fact, years later, a severe case of tendonitis in both arms rendered him unable to play guitar at all for over a year. Even a year later, his fingers would shake on the strings, and he could barely play once a week. Another four years passed before he could perform again, and today he is still restricted to playing guitar only three hours, every other day. "I''m used to the limitation," Ellefson says, "but one result is that it took 2 years to record the album."

To perform The Firebard, Ellefson had to make some adjustments, such as rigging his drum machine with letter openers to play it with his feet. He also engineered it at home so he could record whenever he was able to per-form the guitars and https://www.tradebit.com injury was caused partly by a Bachelors of Music in classical guitar, where he had accomplished four years of playing requirements in only two years. Now, his ordeal largely behind him, Ellefson has risen from his ashes to launch his career with his debut instrumental guitar album, The Firebard, released June 29, 2004.

Ellefson is endorsed by Peavey and has recently published articles at several sites, including https://www.tradebit.com and https://www.tradebit.com. Great reviews of Rand''s playing can be found in BW&BK (issue #83) and at https://www.tradebit.com.
