Hey there fellow Fubarians! Thanks for stopping by...
I'd appreciate it if you would Rate, Fan, and Friend me! I'll return the favor ASAP.
Reno VonGitbox has been playing guitar for over 30 years, and has been active in the Chicago music scene for about 25 years.
It's been a long, strange trip for Reno. "I've been influenced by absolutely everyone. People have told me that they've recognized players' styles in my playing that I've heard but not really studied. I really appreciate that. But if I had to choose... I would say the major influences would be the "Trinity". You know, Clapton, Beck and Page. But you can't overlook anyone."
"I've been very lucky in my musical life to have played with, and met some really great musicians. Friends forever! The Chicagoland area has such a wealth of artistic talent. Thanks for letting me ride along."
"Now... SOULed SLAVES! These guys are a blast to jam with. It's amazing how everything just falls into place when the notes start flying!", Reno says.
"The overall sound of a band is what I'm most concerned with. To me, it's a sum of all the parts. It's about everyone adding something to the stew. If something is missing, you can taste it."
So, the big question is, Who is Reno VonGitbox
Well, let's start with the name:VonGitbox... Do any of you know what a "Gitbox" is?
git·box [git'boks] noun, 1) A stringed musical instrument with a long, fretted neck, a flat, some what violin like body, and typically six strings, which are plucked with the fingers or with a plectrum. 2) A Smokin' Hot lookin', Sweat Sounding Guitar that makes you drool.
If you like guitars as much as I do... Then You're a VonGitbox Too!
Here's just a small sample of some of the bands I've been recording with over the years. If you hear something you like, Leave me a comment and let me know.
Yes, I'm a "Long legged, guitar pickin' man!" (6'6") ...like June Carter-Cash sang about.
I'm also a Harley Davidson rider. ('98 FLHRC/I Road King)
I'd like to think that I've got my head screwed on right. If you don't think so, you're welcome to call me on it.
I'll add more about me later...
What do you want to know about me? Just Ask!

Interests
Guitars and Motorcycles
I love playing, building, fixing, and drooling over GUITARS. I've been doing it now for over 30 years. I've amassed quite a collection over the years. Everything from cheapies to ones collectors salivate for.
I love riding my Harley Davidson Road King. She's a beaute! Not a custom, but she's my baby all the same. I'll make sure to get a few pics of her posted. (The way I feel about her... they may be NSFW!)
Music
Some of you may know me from a few Chicago Rock Bands I've been a part of over the years.
