Hello guys! My name is Robin and I am a new subscriber and member of the guitarmasterclass comunity
Actually, I'm not truly new here : I started learning guitar 4 or 5 years ago and was sharing an GMC account with a friend of mine (really good guitar player btw) known here as JKB.
I am a 19 year-old French student. I live in Paris, France and study in a preschool to pass entry exams to get my ass to the best engineering school I can wish to aim for. Lately, I've been through a lot. My cheating girlfriend broke up with me a month ago which basically put an end to an 3 years old really bad and destructive relationship (but you know what, I thought I was in love and kept hanging to the few times we were happy together and called it happiness, puting my friends and even my studies aside for this girl). But now, it's over and I finally got through depression (which I think was actually one of the reasons I kept staying with this girl... lol) and I'm more ready than ever to study again and improve my guitar playing skills as well
We shall talk a little about my guitar playing now
I really don't have a well define style and I often describe my self as a "not real musician" as I don't know much about improvisation and think myself more as a interpreter. I play rock music, metal music an a bit of blues. I would really enjoy to take my "theoretical skills" to the next level and become a great blues player as well as a great fusion shredder
I personally own three guitars :
-my first guitar, a squier stratocaster that I really love all about (except for the pickups which are really bad unfortunately)
-my second guitar and first folk one, a Greg Bennett Design (a guitar I underestimated a lot for a long time and that I now absolutly love)
-and at last but not least, the guitar I play the most, a Lag Arkane 200st on which I replaced the originals EMG-hz pickups by a set of EMG 81/85.
That might say a lot about me but actually, I lately started to dislike more and more my lag guitar because I started to play on 800$-1000$ schecter guitars and even tried one (the Blackjack C1) with Seymour Duncan pickups on a Blackstar Ht studio 20. I don't own an Amp (I use guitar rig 5 with a toneport ux1 line6) so that last experience really sowed doubts about my rig. I will most likely start a new thread about it but I plan on getting a Blackstar Ht studio 20 and was wondering about also about a Blackstar Id:15TVP.
That's all I can think of and let me know if you have any question
I am looking forward to the REC program.
See you on GMC and ROCK ON !!!
