Hi guys,

I am Nick, I am 20 years old and I live in Belgium.
I just found out about this site and decided to buy a subscription because I didnt find any sites as good as this one and the lessons here are amazing .

I currently study Psychology here in Belgium. I've been playing Classical guitar since I was 9 and when I turned 15 I started playing the electric guitar too. My main influences are Steve Vai, Joe Satriani,Muris Varajic, Dimitar Nalbantov and Marcel Coenen.
These years that I practiced I mostly concentrated on playing covers of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani songs. I did some performances here and there but it was no big deal. When quiting secondary school I wanted to go to a pop and rock academy for electric guitar but it didnt exist in Belgium so I choose to study Psychology.

Now I want to develop myself as a musician because I feel my end goal isnt making covers of people's songs but writing them. So I found this site

So here it goes : HELLO GMC

My rig :

- Ibanez Jem 7DBK
- Ibanez UV777
- Ibanez JCRG 5-VV
- Line 6 Flextone II
- Line 6 Toneport
- Ableton Live

For all of you interested here is a very very old video of me playing. I think I was 15 then, I uploaded it pretty recently. It is a little sweeping video. It's called Race against Time by Marcel Coenen.

Welcome aboard. I'm a big fan of all the guys you mentioned too! I remember first watching Marcel back in 2003. He writes great songs.
