Ok Steve, here are the answers to your questions sir. Now where is my lesson??
How long have you been playing?Well I started I think at about 13yrs old and played for a few years. Noodled around and tried to teach myself some songs using an old record player my grandmother gave me. We couldn't afford lessons. I could play some AC/DC songs, Heart, 1 or 2 from Rush. Mostly just rhythm stuff. Parents got divorced and I put the guitar down till I was 18. Started playing more serious at that point. I was working and on my own and couldn't pay for lessons either. So I made a bunch of friends that could play and I would just watch and learn from that. Then I would go home and get my tape player out and work on songs. About 8 years later I made a decision to put the guitar down and go to a local college to get an education and a better job. Well that worked out pretty good and now I have a life and a wonderful family that supports me. So a little over 1 year ago I decided I needed to find out how good I could become and then I found GMC. Now you’re stuck with me.
What's your favorite style..Blues,Rock,Metal...?Well I really like big hair 80's stuff because that’s what I grew up with. Honestly though I love all types of music and listen to what ever I am in the mood for. Well except rape and disco stuff.
Who do you feel, out of accomplished guitarist, has the best tone?Tough one. I think all accomplished guitar players half to have a great tone. That’s why we buy their CD's. A few of my favorites are Muris, Satriani, SRV and Eric Johnson, Al Di Meola to name a few.
Also to you, If you could wake up in the morning and play anything, what would it be?I would just like to wake up and be able to improv or write something like Muris or Satriani.
Your Favorite band/artist?Mostly guitar centered music. The same artists that I listed above.
What are your goals here at GMC?Well to help you of course. I need to learn a better variety of technique and some theory stuff so I can put it all together better. I also would like to become more involved with GMC and helping others in some way.
What would you most like to accomplish out of this program?Honestly if my experiences and playing can make a difference to you or any other player here then I would be happy. The more players the better of course. I just want to be a part of something that involves music. If I can get someone to help me in the process well then that is a bonus.
If you were my personal instructor locally, what would be the one thing you have me do daily so to never forget?Take a shower and brush your teeth.
