Introduction

Hello guys, here is my contribution to the SI boards

Short info on me :

My name is Sigge Bjerkhof, im 29 years old living in Copenhagen, Denmark. Ive been playing music since i was 16 years old, i lost interrest in music for 6-7 years, but joining GMC made me want to play music again:) I primarily like funk, jazz and rock music but i can enjoy a good metal shred as well now and then

Now lets get started.

This is a somewhat slow funky track, and the solo should be pretty easy to approach, i focused mainly on creating small melodic phrases, that flows with the track.
