Thought I'd launch a proper introductions thread....cos I can, and to introduce myself to people. I'm pretty sure I will be aasking a fair few questions, and hopefully getting a few answers, around here so here's a lil bit about me and what I do:
I play guitar and have done for about 9 years, though very on and off. As such I am nowhere near as good as I should be. I am self taught and, I am ashamed to say it, fairly lazy in my approach to most things. I do some simple home recordings to sate a desire I have in myself to write and record music. Music is a huge part of my life, it's been there trhough all the tough and good times. I decided that as I love listening to music so much I should probably try to write/record my own. So I am
I enjoy a vast array of musical styles, and try to never be musically snobish. I am a metal head at heart but still love blues, rock, jazz, funk, soul, old school hip hop, folk, pop and anything else that tickles my ear holes. My primary musical passion is Doom Metal and all it's sub genres (sludge, drone, stoner, funeral doom), though that has only come about in the last five or so years (I am 28 btw) and before that I was heavily into death and black metal.
My aim with my recordings is to try to actuall do something with my musical passions, an artistic outlet for all the things I have going on in my head. I know I am not going to be a star, I know my songs will not be revolutionary, I know there will be no audience for the work I do but I still want to do it. The riffs I write are derivative, my songs generic but I don't care!
I just want to do what I do and have fun. Saying that I still want to make what I do sound as good as possible, hence my joining of this site.
My gear:
Epi Les Paul, Maverick Chaos 1, random 80s epiphone super strat
Line 6 POD Studio UX1 with POD Farm 2
Reaper, Riff Works T4
Bring it on!
