I began playing guitar when I was 16. Listening to only 3 bands, Metallica, Van Halen, Guns N Roses Id say that I was pretty shut off to music. Having no idea it existed, I sat in my room pecking away. Still to this day there is not a part of my mind that regrets not ever knowing other forms of music earlier on. I was however listening to a Tchaikovsky tape over and over.
One day many years later downloading music was just beginning and I could download whole cds, I came across a Shred version of Cannon in D by Malsteem. Shit was I blown away, what was this? So then I learned of 4 bands, then 5 and 6. Anyways my point is that I never really understood the amount of amazing music out there until about 3 years ago. This whole time in between I had been studying and learning everything I could. I only had a few guitarist to fall back on and I could never play they're solo's. Today I listen to a broad range from Greg Howe, Guthrie, Larry Carlton, Via, Petrucci, Gilbert, Moore, Morse, Gambale, to Pop Country???!!! My goals are to start hearing the chords as I am soloing and writing the solos that I hum all damn day. Now I feel confident in where I'd like to be in music. In five years I would like to form a network of musicians to write and grow with. I'd like to hone my skills and continue to learn. Most importantly I'd like to finish more projects that I am proud of. This is my Darius Wave Cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFuVp917l2E https://sites.google.com/site/jimseekfordmusic/home |
