Hi. I'm Bill. I'm new here. But I've been snooping around for the past few days. This is a very cool environment.
I've been playing guitar for about 11 years (I'm 28). I've been taking it seriously since January of this year (as a resolution) and it took off like a flywheel. I suddenly enjoy practicing. As a starter, I decided to focus on learning theory and developing alternate picking speed. Still on those primarily now. I've been in two bands as a rhythm guitarist. Never got into lead or soloing, as much as I wanted to. I never had the patience to "practice" and whenever I picked up the guitar I'd just make up riffs. I'm making progress, especially thanks to Kris Dahl's "Shred Masterclass" at Ultimate-Guitar. That brought me here and when I saw the amazing amount of high-quality learning material I had to subscribe. That was before I even knew about collabs and the awesome community here. I'm hooked. You'll see a lot of me now, I bet. My main heroes right now are: Mattias Eklundh Ron Jarzombek Guthrie Govan Chuck Schuldiner Marty Friedman Paul Gilbert My current goal is to put together a progressive metal project named "The Kepler Conjecture." Won't happen till I hone some skills and get some chops. But I'm playing around with what it will sound like - I consider it a collection of "sketches" to help establish an ultimate feel for what the project is. I hope to have it released by January 2011. Sooner if I can. You can hear low quality examples at www.myspace.com/thekeplerconjecture if you're interested. For gear: Few Ibanez guitars, a Schecter baritone tuned to C standard, a few other guitars, a Crate combo amp, a bunch of Line6 products, a VS-700, and SONAR. Finally, I'd like to thank everyone here for providing these resources. The instructors for the content, and everyone else for the ambiance. Stay awesome, Bill This post has been edited by TheKeplerConjecture: Jun 13 2009, 11:24 AM |
