A Humble Introduction Options

[Cem]

Before saying anything, I want to thank Gabriel Leopardi for pulling me out of my nutshell. That PM was just what I needed

My name is Cengiz (but I prefer to use "Cem", much easier to remember and pronounce in English), I'm from Turkey and 19 years old. Musically; I've been playing guitar for little less than 3 years, I'm playing piano and singing as well.

I can't really explain how I started to play guitar. Just before my high school years someone had the idea me playing guitar, at first I liked the idea but as the time passed on I get away from guitar more and more for various reasons, eventually I quit it. After 2 or 3 years, something clicked inside me and I felt I have to play guitar. That was the best decision ever I've made.

I am notorious for my motor skills, for this reason my repertoire nearly consists of nothing but exercise patterns. In addition to these, as a mostly self taught guitarist I had some bad habits, for these reasons I am never content with what comes out of my amplifier. This is something that I exceptionally dislike but I am struggling to find a way out of it. I think I can get over it with joining/forming a band but I'm feeling very negative about the whole band stuff. I simply feel I am not ready for that.

I really don't have much to say about who influenced my play, rather than worshipping one guitarist and try play like him, I try to learn something from everyone, not necessarily guitarists, to complete to big puzzle of inner myself . That being said, Malmsteen was the biggest part of it, I learned a lot from him not just his play but his stance as a musician. Chopin is the another big part of it, I even considered leaving guitar and focusing on piano completely. Thank god that never happened

My gear is nothing but just an Ibanez rg370dxl and a roland micro cube. I really want to get a decent guitar rig but I dont have an idea where to begin with. I am a guitar freak but I have absolutely no idea about the fuss surrounding it(amps,pedals,processsors, pickups etc.).

So this is how I feel as a musician . And again, I want to thank Gabriel for making me to write these . Cheers!
