Hi!
My name is Ivan, I'm 20 years old and I live in Helsinki, Finland. Currently I study and teach (will begin this semester) at the university of Helsinki, department of mathematics.
I've been playing guitar for about 4 years now, mostly rock and metal, but I'm really open to any style. My main influences are Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and prog and power metal bands like Dream Theater, Blind Guardian and Kamelot. Also I really enjoy celtic and symphonic music.
I was introduced to this site by a friend, and I instantly loved it for its variety - here it's possible to learn any genre, from blues to death metal (whereas most other sites frequently omit the latter
). Then I went to the forum and discovered all those community activities like collabs, competitions etc. and this left me with no other choice than becomming a part of this wonderful community
.
Now I'm gonna go fill my practice agenda
Cya!
