Hi!
My musical taste:
I was always kind of a metal head, I am a huge fan of german power metal.. But over the years my
musical tastes have become broader and now include jazz, world music etc. Some of my favourite
albums, in no particular order:
Blind Guardian - Somewhere far beyond
Stratovarius - Visions
Nevermore - The Politics of Ecstasy
Queen - Jazz
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus
Beatles - Abbey Road
Buddy Guy - Sweet Tea
Moonsorrow - Varjoina kuljemme kuolleiden maassa
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
King Crimson - In The Court of The Crimson King
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
Death - Human
Morbid Angel - Blessed Are The Sick
Avantasia - The Scarecrow
Some of my favourite guitar players:
Jon Schaffer, Joe Satriani, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, Andy LaRocque,
Chuck Schuldiner, Uli Jon Roth, Django Reinhardt, Chet Atkins, Trey Azagthoth, George Benson
My shorter term goal is to get my basic metal rhythm guitar playing together, my longer term goals
are getting good at improvisation and getting some knowledge and practice in song composition. In
the process I would also like to improve my overall technique.
I have never recorded myself playing, but I will try to record a few videos this weekend.
A was thinking of learning one of your german power metal lessons, recording it, to show my
rhythm playing and recording myself impovising a solo over a 12 bar blues progression. That should
be an OK start.
