i have been playing for over a decade now, although not as much any more. i still pick it up once or twice a week, but that a far way ayaw from the 8 hours a day i played when i was a kid! i play electric and acoustic guitars, and i hand drum on a djembe and doumbek.
if i have to classifiy myself, i'll just say hard rock/ heavy metal. it's really more about the mood and vibe than anything else. sometimes i'm very reserved and mellow, othertimes i'm beating the crap outta the guitar!
i have attended a recording school, so i can go into a studio, mic you up, throw up the faders, record, mix and master you. i have worked you both digital (alesis ADAT) and analog (2" tape, 24 tracks). after recording school, i worked in a music store, selling guitar and amps and whatnot.
guitars:
ovation celebrity acoustic/electric (added grover tuning keys)
charvel fusion standard (added dimarzio pickups)
jackson kelly standard (added dimarzio and paul reed smith pickups)
fender squire strat (refretted, scalloped, charvel humbucker in the bridge)-the beater...
give it some time, but i have decided to get back into it lot more in the future. hopefully, if all goes as planned, i'll be playing a paul reed smith electric, a taylor acoustic, and mesa/boogie amps in the next 3 years. that's the plan anyways...
on a side note, if anyone is going to go shopping for a new guitar or amp, please, im me! working in the business has tought me a lot.
peace,
tech...
