hello people!
im a 22 year old guitarist from norway. im wery into several metal genres, but enjoy alot of jazz, blues and stuff like that. i havent been blessed with riches, so i only got a cheap warlock (metal pack beginner guitar)
the guitar is 5 years old, but still as good as ever, been treating it real nicely (couldnt afford to loose it:P)
i have been playing guitar for about 10 years now. i was wery eager to try out that interesting instrument some people had, but i werent alowed to try because they feared i would break it or something. but someday when i was in 7th grade, a teacher asked me to try playing. he used 45 minutes and teached me a simplified version of the beginning of "Stairway To Heaven" and thats when i knew i should be playing the guitar.
I learn really fast, but before i got here on GMC i only learned songs. no lessons/exercises. and i couldnt afford a guitar teacher. now that my economy have started growing, im about to buy myself a new guitar and some powerfull amps, and sit down everyday practicing new stuff from this site.
i play in a band, called exerior atm (changing frequently, still in beginner fase) im a rythm guitarist. i like playing heavy riffing with melodic feelings, but i lack the skill of improvising and creating music. i have never done something my way, only other peoples way. i was introduced to this site by a new guitarist in our band.
my favorite band is killswitch engage, and i like pantera, all that remains, dethklok, tool, opeth and bands like that. not wery into death/dark metal, even though im norwegian:P but mostly technical music is my thing.
my goal as a musician is:
- being able to create music that i like
- playing gig's
- have a hobby to love for the rest of my life
- teach other people to play like pro's, when i one day can be called a pro
and if possible, be able to live for the music, but thats my final goal:P
if i missed something, please tell, and il add more info|=) happy shreddin'
