Weclome! Good to have you on board. Enjoy!
My name is Matt, i'm 15, i'll be 16 in a few months. I live and breathe guitar. I play in a hard rock/metal/progressive band, and I own 3 electrics and 2 acoustics, along with numerous effects and a Marshall DSL50 half stack.
My favorite band is Tool, not so much for the guitar work as the messages and the thought process that goes into the music. I admire many guitarists, although the list is too large to put here. I don't like sounding like anyone else (who does?), and I practice 2-3 hours a day, and longer when I have the chance.
I'm a very easy going person, and I enjoy the instrument, that's my hobby, my practice and my art.
Weclome! Good to have you on board. Enjoy!

Hi Inbleach. You are welcome here.
We don't discriminate based on age...however, if you have more hair than most of us it will probably become a problem.
If you are able to record it would be great to hear your take on some of our backing tracks. Since you are playing so much it would be a real treat to hear you. We love fresh input.

Welcome Matt!
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
Welcome Matt you have found a great place to hang out!
