lol yeaa I know. But it would get kinda annoying if you had to go around and click on everybodys profile. And it isnt guranteed that somebody else has seen yours, so, I just thought this might help.

I'm Dorian Cooke, people just call me Doz, used to call me Dozza but I'm not into that any more. I've played guitar for about 5 years and music is pretty much everything. I'm 17, 18 next month. No pets, but an ugly older brother. I'm from England, but I'm not posh. I'm from one of the grey places with loads of fucking cunts.

I don't promote prejudice (be it racism, sexism whatever). I play arrogant elitist but it's just an act and so me and my mates can joke around at ourselves.

I'm in a gigging band in my area (although admitedly we haven't gigged in half a year due to drummer and guitarist complications) who have played a couple of headline shows (one at the Sugarmill, the main rock club in my city). We might not appeal to many people on a guitar forum because it is punk rock (a bit poppy sometimes, and with melodic hardcore punk influences). I *can* play other things than punk... but music with a message just appeals to me - and what better way than to play fast catchy easy to get into songs?

Going college dcing a music course, and when I'm out of college I just sit around and play my guitar, or listen to as much music (new and old) as I can.

Growing up I was into classic rock/blues rock, modern rock, punk and alternative rock since that was what my dad always had on in the house (along with the odd bit of mod, country, folk, blues, grunge and some other stuff). I got into metal a good few years ago first with Pantera and Metallica. Before the end of school I broadened my taste by listening to what some people would consider emo, quite a bit of indie and pop punk. After I left school I got intro post-hardcore (eg. The Blackout, Scary Kids Scaring Kids)and then hardcore (from listening to 80s hardcore punk bands like Black Flag, Gorillia Biscuits, Minor Threat etc). I followed them bands to 90s hardcore and modern hardcore at the same time as discovering more melodic american punk bands. Within the past year I started listening to a little bit of death metal, grindcore, metalcore, pop, funk, the odd hip hop artist (I actually went through a hip hop phase in the last year of school but I overdid it and stopped listening for a long time), and just a load of good music.


I like to test myself by quitting things like food, but I always do it with the idea that if I can do it it'll make me healthier anyway) I don't drink, smoke or do any drugs. I don't eat chocolate, crisps, fizzy drinks, sweets, most cakes.

I don't eat meat but I haven't done since I was ten.

Oooooooooh, and I've been struck by lightning. :D




That was looong.

Hello!

I'm more of a lurker than most of the others that post here, but I guess that makes me as much of a member as anyone else!

My name is Jeff Casarona (and I really don't care to share my whole name... cause I have many profiles on YouTube and SoundClick with my full name, so whatever), but I usually go by just Jeff (ironic for the name, eh?)

I've been playing for guitar for a little more than a year now (strictly acoustic) and have been studying music theory at Virginia Tech along with my Computer Engineering Degree. Guitar has been my life since I got to school.

My favorite music consists of such musicians as Tommy Emmanuel, Antoine Dufour, Andy McKee, Michael Hedges, Chet Atkins, Michael Chapdelaine, Petteri Sariola, and Jake Shimabukuro.

My goals with music is to understand, create, and record my original compositions to hopefully put a smile on their face, or a chill down their spine.

If you just search my name in youtube or google, you should find some of my recordings from various times in my playing career :)

Hopefully within the next 2 years, I will release a CD with 4-6 original songs that I can pass around: that would make me extremely happy.

Hello =) I'm Christian Isenberg but I'm often called tAUG, soon 18 years old and I've been playing the electric guitar for quite a while now.

Currently I'm playing with a few different bands; Funky Afro Hair Dudes which mostly play funk-based-jazz music. Nautilus which playes music like Blues Brothers, Blood Sweat And Tears etc.
I'm also playing in musicals where the music proceed -non stop- during the regular two hour long performances (which is extremely fun!). Also I'm quite active in local socials and such, playing as much as possible to develope within my playing and rutines etc.

I'm listening to a lot great guitarists, such as Vai, Satriani, Zappa, Paul Gilbert, Andy Timmons etc. etc. But also I listen to qiute a bit funk/jazz/blues and so on.

Hi I'm Matt Murray. I have been playing guitar for 3 years as of this christmas. I'm a 20 year old college art student.

I have always been considered to be a very talented visual artist, but school took the fun out of art for me, and made it an obligation. So I turned my artistic efforts to music.

I listen almost exclusively to heavy metal, bands like Pantera, Metallica, Kreator, Slayer etc... But my taste's are not that limited. I love all music with instrumentals that impress me. Classical music, classical guitar, acoustic instrumental music... I also love expressive music, whether it's the dynamic lead playing of Darrell Lance Abbot or the honest vocals of Kurt Cobain.

The music I make doesn't sound much like the music I listen too, it's just what comes out I guess. I don't try to make it any particular thing.

I wish I were in a band but in my community everyone who is good enough to be in a band IS in a band and has been for the better part of a decade. So I just practice all day in my dorm.

I have a Schecter C-1 Hellraiser and love it to death.

Here you can see some of my art, and hear a little bit of my music. One acoustic experiment and one experiment with improvised soloing.

Hello
My name is Jeremy. I have been playing for about 20 some years. I have a few guitars but my fav is my Ibanze destoyer II and RG 550. I play bass, keyboards and drums too. I am not in a band at them moment. Like mattmurray said anybody any good is in a band so it is hard to find people to jam with anymore. I have kids and they also play guitar and/or drums.
I live in IN. I love music just about every kind. Heavy metal is my fav but I do love classical and blues. Really anything with a guitar.
later

Nicolee, seems like your the second girl to post.I dont mean to upset anyone but it seems kinda funny that a girl brought this subject up of introducing ourselves.I dont think a guy would ever have stated it that way.There was a previous subject about "where are you from," but this fits better.

I'd probably listen to your music if you gave me a sample because not everyone on this forum likes metal and all that.

I hate rap though. gross.

Ya You know if you write about your inspiration and use good metaphors rhyming then it should work, look at ballads and lyric poetry and see how they work helps me when trying to make lyrics. It doesn't even have to be a strong subject for instance Earthshine by Rush They wrote about how the Earth Reflects light off the moon.

And the moon reflects the light of the sun. Odd
I'll have to listen to a lot of music and bands in my iTunes and see if I can get inspired. My chorus's beat/rhythm is inspired by Anti-Flag's "The Press Corpse" so, it's a start.

Yeah same but I HATE rap, new stuff anyways. The old stuff is actually kinda okay cause it has a melody and rhythm.. unlike "gangsta" BS.
For me it has to be catchy or just flow and then I will probably give it a listen

Oooh, I think a lot of modern punk bands like we've been talking about have good vocalists, especially Bad Religion. Check Millencolin out though, I think you'll like them. Try find a song called No Cigar from the album Pennybridge Pioneers.

Bad Religion is like my favorite damn punk band of all time.
Beastie Boys are not bad, I really mainly only like Sabotage.
I can't stand Taking Back Sunday's vocalist... he can't sing for sh*t.
Tom DeLonge's voice improved a lot over the years, just listen to OLD Blink-182 and then listen to something from Angels & Airwaves (Everything's Magic, for example)

I am listening to No Cigar now, frig Millencolin is a wicked punk band, almost reminds me of a band I've heard before...
