I have been experimenting with sound in some capacity for the past 20 years, but I could play piano by ear starting from the age of five (27 years ago). Music is a large part of who I am, and is a substantial part of my life at this moment.
I started teaching myself acoustic guitar at age 12, and picked up various other instruments along the way up to this point. I have studied (on my own time and in college) theories of music and composition.
I love to experiment and try new combinations of sounds.
It is hard to not notice my passion for sound and music once you get to know me.
I can learn almost anything on the lead guitar, rhythm guitar, drums, bass, and piano.
I've learned guitar solos from "Light My Fire", "Free Bird", "November Rain", "Don't Fear The Reaper" and more.
In the past I have learned how to play difficult piano pieces by ear, including works by Debussy, Chopin and Liszt.
I can also play just about anything on the drums, including drums from bands like Porcupine Tree, Tool, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, and more.
