GMC Forum _ Introduce Yourself ! _ What The? I Didn't Know I Could Do This O_o

Posted by: MyNinjaWay Jul 24 2008, 03:17 PM

hello all at GMC! it's great to be here and it's just awesome to find something like this exists! it's honestly like a dream come true for me haha well anyway, a bit about me I guess then.
I'm originally from New Zealand, if you haven't yet been to this lovely country I suggest you put it on your to do list for stuff for places to go before you have to leave this world ;-) such a nice place!
Now though, I'm living in Perth which is in Western Australia... I'm a welder there, hoping to get qualified soon too... earn some decent bucks and buy myself some decent gear.
Been playing guitar for quite a while now, probably a decade I'd say... and to be honest, it makes me sad because when I started out I could instantly see I had potential and I was naturally quite a lot better than my friends who took it up at the same time... But I never took it up seriously and learned the ins and outs of it like I had always hoped I would (yes, I'm an extreme procrastinator) I do love the guitar though and I love to play it and I think it's possibly when I'm at my happiest just jamming along by myself... so here I am gonna do it right this time and master that s***.
OH yeah forgot to mention, I've been in death metal bands since I pretty much picked up my guitar but since moving to Perth I have pretty much been cut of from that whole scene and all my friends too :-( ....in a way though it has been good because it has allowed me to kind of wake up a bit more and become more aware of harmonies and the get back into the music that inspired me to pick up my first gat years ago and now I feel so accomplished when writing a beautiful piece with feeling and soul, don't get me wrong though cos I still listen to a bit of down right dirty metal... but who's to say you can't appreciate both ;-) or even combine them... well anyway... I'm going on now... sorrrrrryyy heh

Blind Guardian
Iced Earth
Demons & Wizards
Dragonforce
