Hello everyone! I'm stopping in to briefly introduce myself. I am an intermediate level guitar player and have been playing on and off for the last 20 years. My influences are: Satriani, Petrucci, old Metallica, amung other bands and players that I have listened to over the years. Lately I have felt that my playing was stale (might be from a lack of a creative outlet since I'm not currently in a band). So I am here to refine my playing, take it to the next level and grow more as a musician and guitar player. My goal is to expand my playing away from the straight up metal and work some funk, blues and jazz into my vocabulary.
