Yes! Welcome Adrian -

You can expect rock lessons with lots of attitude from Adrian - in fact he will start out with a lesson of difficulty 1-2 and which evolves into something really cool and groovy. Stay tuned for it!

Hey guys! thanks for the warm welcome!
and yeah chris i do have a youtube channel, no updates in a while but still, you can check more of my playing there:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nzECbhsVeQ


As far as my influences, i love almost all kinds of music, specially rock n roll, but i try to add all the elements i like about music into my playing, i consider myself a very rhythmic oriented lead guitar player, so i'm always listening to my fav drummers to get ideas for riffs.

I love jimi hendrix, jimmy page, john frusciante, billie joe armstrong, the young brothers, ron wood, srv, travis barker, john bonham, louis armostrong, flea, chad smith, robert plant, roger daltrey, the list is endless!

once again thanks for warm welcome, i love the people here so far, and i expert to teach and learn a lot here

Welcome man

Posted by: Adrian Figallo Oct 26 2009, 02:06 AM

thanks htr!
i would like to introduce now my guitars

This is an hybrid vintage strat, the body is from around the 70's and the neck is from the 80's i think, all the electonics where sold by the last owner so i bought it with CHEAP stuff on it, i replace it all, installed a wilkinson bridge, graphite nut, locking tuners, locking strap, dimarzio chopper on bridge, an ibanez single on the mid, and currently it got a fender stock on the neck from the 80's, waiting on a dimarzio cruiser to stock it there , also it got just one tone for the 3 pickups. This is my main guitar, and i totally LOVE it.




This is a 90's ibanez jem, all original, i love this guitar, super fast and easy to play, floyd rose works like a charm, and the paf pro are really really great!






This is a "relic finish" strat, it's a custom made body, a Seymour Duncan on the bridge (something like a super distortion not sure) and two alnicos. The neck is a modified fender, it's super thin.







And last but not least, my charvel acoustic guitar, it's from the 90's, very cool guitar, super easy and smooth, got a mod neck too (slimmer).







Hope you all like em

Welcome to GMC Adrian! That is an awesome guitars collection! Looking forward to your lessons!

Posted by: Rated Htr Oct 26 2009, 02:39 AM

Your Guitars remind me of the Malmsteen Custom Strat

Posted by: Adrian Figallo Oct 26 2009, 02:48 AM

Thanks Bogdan!, checking your bass lessons (picking up the old bass to jam a little )

That's rated, now i just need to learn how to play like him

Posted by: Rated Htr Oct 26 2009, 02:59 AM

Don't do that, I'll get bored with your lessons if you do

Posted by: Adrian Figallo Oct 26 2009, 03:08 AM

True , but i think it's important to always learn something new

Posted by: Rated Htr Oct 26 2009, 03:27 AM

Welcome Adrian

Nice, it's very cool to do beginner lesson first and then build up the difficulty!!
Looking forward to the lessons, as I love Rock with attitude

Posted by: Neurologi Oct 26 2009, 09:39 AM

A nice taste of what's in store for us here at GMC with your lessons. I love how you really get into what you are playing and your general sense of feeling. Great stuff!

I share the same sentiments and outlook as you as far as an approach to guitar playing in general. I have always felt very comfortable jamming and playing with drummers and bass players. I attribute that to thinking in their terms first and the fact I played drums and played bass before I ever picked up the guitar!

Posted by: skennington Oct 26 2009, 02:12 PM

Awesome stuff man! Looking forward to your lessons.
