I am 17 and have played guitar for about 6 years.
The music on here features just me and my guitar, and a bunch of MIDI stuff really. Midi is basically my only option for backings, as i dont have decent recording equipment for keys, and you can't record drums direct.
hmm lets see....
started playing about 5 or six years ago, and just progressed from there (though like many guitarists, i went through a long period when i never played seriously).
Only very occasionally, at school.
Bit of Vai, bit of Satch, loads of Petrucci and some Malmsteen too. Lately, Jason Becker has been on my playlists too. Megadeth got me into solo guitar oriented metal type music, so kudos to them.
One ibanez s370 with tonezone and air nortons.
One Korg ax1500g pedal (i like to think of it as a mini rack :p ) straight to the PC. EDIT: i now use a POD XT Live instead of the Korg.
