About

Hello all. I'm a 20 year old(21 soon Dec 23), capable and very passionate guitar player that's looking for anyone who wants to get together and jam/practice or perform anywhere. I'm completely down for just learning a single song and taking it easy, or learning a hundred songs and taking it very seriously. I'm a very easy going guy and dream of meeting like minded musicians. My dream is to eventually be in some kind of Ambient/Progressive/Experimental band (maybe something like Porcupine Tree) or a group that performs soundtracks from Anime like Haibane Renmei/Cowboy Bebop/Wolf's Rain and perform at a coffeehouse somewhere (I'm looking for a girl to sing "Duvet" by BOA. If your interested message me!).

The clips that I've uploaded were recorded with guitar rig 2 and Cubase. "Overture 1928" is a song by Dream Theater that I covered from their album Metropolis Pt.2: Scenes from a Memory. "Ferrari F355 Challenge" is a (unfinished) cover of an awsome racing arcade game intro I found at the boardwalk maybe.. 5 somthing years ago. I remember walking into some random arcade room with my friend and hearing the coolest guitar solo ever. I found the arcade and stood there drooling for an hour.It had 3 screens! FERRARI's + GUITAR SOLO = SOOOGOOD.

Heres a list of songs that mean a lot to me...I am almost always listening to these songs while going out for walks or sitting somewhere. Hopefully they haven't been taken down from youtube yet

Equipment List

I've owned a number of guitars throughout the years. My main guitar now (my personal favorite) is the incredibly cheap Yamaha Pacifica 112V strat. I love this guitar :)

I don't really have a loud amplifier or stack yet. If it comes to the point where I'll be finding a lot of people to jam with, I'll find a way to get one, promise.
