Left handed lead guitarist. 21 (look 26), King of Prussia, PA. My philosophy in music is that technique can be taught but passion and drive cannot, and without passion and drive, one has no place calling himself a musician. I have little interest in learning songs, more so in writing my own riffs, licks, tabs, whatever you'd call them. I've never had a lesson and don't plan to start now. I feel it disrupts creativity.
Despite what the above may say about me, I'm actually friendly and very easy to get along with.

Influences
Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen)
David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)
Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
Kirk Hammett (Metallica)
Dimebag Daryl (Pantera, not so much the music, just his signature use of vibrato)
Roger Waters (Pink floyd, really just his untouchable talent for words, more than anything else)
I suppose Pink Floyd and Van Halen both influenced my desire to implement synthesizers into my music.
