Hi Everybody! I'm New Here!, Newbie Options

[Davidzz1988]

Hi everybody,

My name is David.
I'm from Québec,Canada( so I apologize for the bad English sometimes )
I started playing guitar at the age of 13. My uncle gave me my first Axe(his own guitar) to learn to play. It was an old Charvel with a schaller trem, Emg 81 pickup in the bridge position and a 24 frets all scalloped neck. It was a dream to play with.
I've grown up listening to old rock & metal(Maiden, ACDC, XYZ, Ratt, Mötley crue, etc...) . I've gotten my first band(Punk) about like 1 year later and we have been recording our first Demo Cd at the age of 15. This was a very good experience for me to ''grow up'' a little bit as a guitar player. At the age of 17 I started a new band (Southern rock,Hardcore) with one of my friend. We've both dreamed to be ''rock stars'' someday... We have put everything in that band.We have been in studios to record 2 albums. We had the chance to play in different places in Canada and tour a lot. A very grateful experience. One of the last shows I've played with the band was at a Vans warped tour venue in 2007 in Montreal with big bands like As I lay Dying & Killswitch Engage. It was a dream come true. I left the band a little later because I wanted to finish school since music was not giving us money to pay the bills. Beside shows, I've found a profound love for recording. Listening to every little details that I liked or disliked about my playing and try to be better every time. So I've invest a little bit of money to buy a cheap sound-card at the moment to record myself and my ideas. The passion for recording just kept growing and growing till today.

I'm here to improve my playing since I'm a self taught guitarist and to meet some nice people. GMC is just awesome. I don't know why I've took so much time to become a member. I've found very good lessons with awesome teachers.
I love music and love almost every style! (From Adele to Meshuggah)
My heroes: Greg Howe, Andy James, Eric Johnson, Allan Holdsworth, Guthrie Govan, Tosin Abasi & so much more....
