Hi, I am Alex. I began learning the guitar when I was thirteen years old, and am still learning it! As most practices do entail. I have a lot of stage experience from gymnasiums to venues. Quite a bit of time in a studio, not near as much as live performances. I've been involved in many projects. The most serious was in the early 2000s. Metal Blade and Road Runner records were both interested in our material. Except there is a funny instance of people being deceptive. Though, it isn't very funny, and far from exceptional. At least one of us made it! My old singer did get somewhere. Should it be of consideration. He was in Daath and Chimera. Anyway:
I am easy to work with. I use a seven string. It is STILL a six string as well, so don't be spooked by the concept! A third octave helps with the diverse span of music therein. Where it helps the most is originality, despite the usual, "Oh, you play like Korn?". I've nothing against Korn. However, I did learn how to play the guitar before the use of illicit substances. It's noticeable. I promise.

Influences
I began on Blues, and Southern Rock. Then when the opportunity came to play alongside a ten-piece drumkit. I had to learn how to evolve! Creating my own brand of, "Metal", which I affectionately call, "Mineral"; is how I've grown to the guitar player that I am today. I thought White Zombie was, "hard"! Adorable, isn't it? Afterward I played in a cover band with five different singers. Which was interesting to fulfill. So, anyone bothering to read all of this, I can do more than metal.
