I am a self taught bedroom musician. I have been playing guitar for almost 20 years and dabbled with piano every now and then. My main interest is writing and recording music and most of my playing time is spent improvising.
Not at the moment.
Metallica, Queen, Dream Theater, Ayreon, Megadeth, Symphony X, Vai, Satriani and pretty much anything with a good melody and nice guitarwork.
Ibanez and Yamaha guitars, PODX3 and HD500 for guitar sounds. VST instruments for other sounds.
