(sorry, I couldn't resist. And No, I don't like 'Nu-Metal')
Hey everybody. I'm a new member, my name is Joe, I'm from Newnan, Georgia originally but live in Draycott, England now for over 6 years. Been playing for almost 7 years. I've got a trans. red (not acrylic) B.C. Rich NJ Warlock, a Jackson DKMG, a Yamaha RBX374, an Ozark shallow-bodied nylon-string (with lush vine inlay!) and two fretless nylon strings (one normal-sized, one half-sized that I de-fretted, sanded, stripped, and re-coated myself)
I've got a few effects thinggies, but my main unit is my fully upgraded Line6 PodXT Pro. It's okay. . . Through a Fender Champion 300 (it's only my little amp. . .I've also got a Marshall AVT100) I wanna change the speaker in my lil amp as well. . .Get a Celestion or something.
My last bit of kit, worth mentioning, is my Boss RC-50. I love these things. I really do. They are so much fun and can help you improve a lot, even though I find their practical application in live settings rather limited.
Umm. . .I'm not exactly sure what people tend to say when they introduce themselves, and I've said a lot already, so I'll just finish off and say that I like to play my rock and shred a bit just everybody else, but in the last couple years, I've been putting more effort into other styles like jazz, blues, latin, Spanish, and even Middle Eastern, Far Eastern, and Indian music. Really, I don't like to think of music in genres, because that's just another way humans classify things for further discrimination. Everyone is classified as something; from what we wear - 'goth', 'punk', 'hippie', to what ethnicity we are - 'Yank', 'Frog', 'Sheep-shagger', to what sports teams you like, to where you live (there are two tiny villages here that are 2 miles apart and the villagers have had a rivalry for well over 50 years), to what you play on a guitar, to everything we do. I just try and cut it down bit by bit. It's got to be defended that this approach of classifying and alienating is one of nature's adaptations for survival (i.e. hanging out with the dude that has a finger or two missing, a scar along his face, and a tattoo of a dragon that covers 60% of his body -including but not limited to the entirety of his back - is probably not a good idea if you want to live. . .) but today's mentality has taken this idea to extremes and it is just ridiculous nowadays.
Anyways. . . Take it easy.
