Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I have been playing guitar for almost six years now. I was introduced to the instrument when I was in 1st year high school. I played with a cheap acoustic guitar. As time passed by, my desire to play grew more and more. I would read music books, learn anything I can learn about music, etc.... When I could'nt help it, I took some guitar lessons. There I learned how strengthen and how to utilize my fingers. I learned speed. It was in those lessons that my teacher introduced me to virtuoso guitarists such as Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, John Petrucci, Frank Gambale, etc... After finishing my lessons, I was a bit dissapointed on my abilities because I wasn't really playing was not musically inclined. It was just playing faster and faster. I started to study on my own. And there I learn for more than what I learned on guitar lessons. I studied Music Theory, Improvising, Orchestrating, etc.... Although, I'm not really a master of all of those but I know the basics.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
yeah in my band!! not solo!! hahahaha!!!
Your musical influences
My influences are mostly Virstuoso guitarist such as Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse, Frank Gambale, Vinnie Moore, etc.... From those influenced, I also got influenced to Classical musics. Hate to admit it but also like some musicals!! hheehehe!! esp the new Phatom of the Opera movie just cant stop listening to Emmy Rossums voice.... hehehehehehehe..
Generally speaking, my influences are those musicians who exceeds their normal talent and go into the realm of VIRTUOSO!!! But anyway i like anything that comes into my ears as long it's good. hehehehe
Anything else?
I use cakewalk Music Creator 2 for recording. My PC is a Pentium 4 2.4gHZ, 768 MB RAM, a CD-writter and a DVD Drive. I don't money to buy a good sound card so I only use my mother board's built in line in and mic input for recording.
For my musical stuff, I use an Ibanez guitar, Boss Metal Zone, Boss Super Chorus, Boss Digital Delay, Dunlop Wah, and a Zoom GFX-707 effects processor. I recently received a Boss GT8 Guitar effects processor and it rocks like hell!!!
