Scott is an instrumental guitarist. His style of play is bluesy, agressive 80's type instrumental metal/hard rock. He just so happens to do his playing sitting down due to being diagnosed as having muscular dystrophy in 1987. His talent and upbeat outlook on life, despite his hardships come from his faith in God.

Scott started playing guitar at 16. He stayed with one band during the 80's and 90's, Blue Collar - who played in and around Nashville, Tennessee. After his diagnosis, Scott continued to play with the band. At first, using a cane, and later a walker to get to a stool on stage to play. As the disease progressively got worse, he finally gave in and was placed in a wheelchair. At that point, playing music was over for the guitar hero from Nashville, though his love of music never left him.

Fortunately, in 2002 Scott put his guitar back in his hands, and started playing as though he had never stopped.
