my first account on aim.

yes, in church, i like it somewhat, only if other ppl like it. i hope to play other genres live except contemporary church music.

in some ways the internet hurts the music industry because of illegal downloads, but at the same time it can spread the word about specific bands and genres of music.

sure

My name is Jonathan Smith. common eh? well, i've been playing guitar for at least six years now and im currently 17 years old. I've grown to like several genres of music ranging from classical to rock. I continue to practice to reach the level of professional guitarists today. I take classical guitar lessons at Stetson University and I plan to continue lessons throughout college and persue a music degree. As of now, I just started to learn how to record on my computer. It's only the beginning so it will probably get better. I use a Paul Reed Smith Hollowbody II guitar with a Paul Rivera Chubster 40 amp and a Boss GT-8 guitar effects processor. I admire comments and criticisms. - Jonathan
