SEEKING

ABOUT

Picked up a guitar when I was 17, was too busy with school/work and constantly moved so practice, lessons and commitment were lacking. Have always wanted to learn guitar and get in a band or start one up. Have been SERIOUSLY playing now though for a little over a year, being out of school and with a more stable job. Self taught so far as well. I have found professional lessons complicated and too influential/demanding. I was never good with school/teachers, heh. As far as theory goes, I really haven't gotten into any. I am more than willing to learn some though if needed. I want to get as serious as possible about my music and putting together a band though and want to hopefully make it to the top some day! (My biggest motivating factor is having a HUGE dream/desire of touring in Japan one day... which may sound lame but I am a huge asian culture junkie.
