Hi everyone,

it took me 4 years to comeback to GMC. Which does not mean that I stopped playing. But there were some major changes in my life which made me incapable of practicing on a regular basis. After all these years of just doing just basic workouts here and there and songwriting for my Band Athorn

(you can watch the video to our Album release here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHxnAKLrKf4)

I felt that I would need new inspiration in regards to take the next step. And what place would there be better than this? I also want to be more active than I once were - maybe getting some vids up into the beautiful REC section of this forum.
Anyway - Let me introduce myself:

My name is Stefan and I am from Hanover Germany, where the EXPO in 2000 was . I am 31 years old and I am freelancing in the music industry. From playing at the 2009 Musikmesse in Frankfurt for a small italian guitar brand called Manne Guitars (http://www.manne.com/eng/endorsers.htm#GERMANY "Stefan Aedo") to studio audio engineering I have had many jobs keeping me on a tight schedule .

My Equipment is :

Guitars:
Manne Taos Satin with yew top ; Schecter Hellraiser FR 7 String ; Fender Strat custom and Tele; Ibanez S Series and 7 String RG Series.

Amps:
Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier ; Mesa 4X12 Cabinet ; Hughes & Kettner Triamp MK 1 ; (optional Soldano SLO Preamp through DI Box)

Gear :
Dunlop Crybaby & Volume Pedal, MXR Carbon Copy, TC Chorus/Flanger, DIY TS9, DIY Dynacomp, thats it!

ok enough for now. Its great to be back!

See you later !

Respect!! That video was so amazing - I had to full screen it HD mode. It's cool to have another band member join GMC. Welcome back! I've only been a few years, but GMC has improved even while I've been here. I really enjoy my time at GMC. Glad you came back.
