Played several instruments since I was 8 (drums, keyboards, piano), although very low level and decided to switch to guitar in order to facilitate and contribute to my heavy metal looks when I was 16

Initially, I was drawn to the guitar because I wanted to meet wimmings. I soon got over that after realizing I was in it for the music.

A friend of mine just threw a guitar in my arms one time when I was over at his place, and learned me Tom Dooley
After that I was satisfied, walking around thinking "Hah.. I can play the guitar.... It wasn't that hard!" Of course, I had no motivation to keep playing just because of that one song.. About 6 months or so went by without even thinking about the guitar, when suddenly I was searching youtube for some random remixes of game-music (more spesific: The Morrowind theme song). I saw this clip, and this clip, and I just knew After that, I of course had to take back the "It's not that hard" part... Since it was pretty hard to pass that first step between random noises and music ^^ -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!
