Hey all,
Just saying hi. Checking in from Kauai, HI, originally from Portland, OR. Been playing for about 10 years now (I started when I was 13), have been in a band or two, looking to start something here once i get my gear shipped over from portland (we moved in a hurry and had to leave a lot of stuff behind).
My rig is a Variax 300 and a Pod XT Live. I usually play through my Grado headphones, but picking up a keyboard amp for practice/gigs here soon. influences include everything from Creed/Alter Bridge, to Dream Theater, to Journey.
I'll go ahead and shame myself with a couple of clips. The first one is my first band, i was about 15 or 16. We were horrible... but i'd rather not have someone go finding it and using it as blackmail :rotflmao: The second I wrote as a demo just before we moved. It's all the variax/XT. There's a 12 string acoustic, a semihollow with a P90 and chorus into a fender twin, a LP Special through a marshall 18W, and a mid-position strat detuned a whole step run through the tube preamp for 'bass'. It's not my normal style, but I think it sounds all right except for some tracking issues (recorded it in about an hour, including creating the patches.)
