FRANCAIS AU BAS DE LA PAGE
Hey! right now i perform alone but i've played in a few bands. Im not too big. I've played at a festival once in my country place, nothing much, but i do mostly covers because writting is not my strength but i do have some originals. When am in a band we do mostly originals (i can write music but i suck at writting lyrics) I play lots of styles of music but my preference is Metal, ROck, and acoustic rock.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
well, since this page is about me and not about any band that i may have been in, i will only talk about me..... I started playing guitar when i was about 12.... I learnt alone for a while and then i went to take lessons... after about 3 months of lessons i had to stop because i was failling math in school so i continued learning by myself. i have now been playing for approximately four years and still enjoy it as much as the first time i touched a guitar.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I played acoustic guitar at a festival once. Pretty fun!
Your musical influences
When i first started playing guitar..... I was a big fan of Blink182, but as i started getting better and better i found myself being better at guitar than tom Delonge and singing better than him so i went with ozzy,metallica,santana, ac/dc and other rock/metal bands. My two favorite bands now are Ozzy and AC/DC.
What equipment do you use?
I do have a few amps but i mostly use My P.A. system to play. I have a 1200watt SHOW amp, a 2 channel AB equalizer a 4 track portable mixer. (but i much rather use my marshall valvestate 8080) My mic is a samson r11 and my guitar is a Spector Ns-6 1971 special edition. VERY RARE. I use Ernie Ball strings, dunlop pics, and as for effects, i use my marshall distortion, cry baby wah, and boss digital delay.
Anything else?
