About me:
I am 22 years old. I have been playing music in some form or another since I was about 10, including piano, clarinet, trumpet and baritone. These were all things that I more less lost interest in and can barely play them nowadays. I primarily play guitar and have been playing for about 4 years both mainly electric but sometimes I get bit by the acoustic bug. I have some basic drum and keyboard skills, but you won't see me performing those any time soon. I have been thinking about picking up a bass guitar lately since I found myself playing a lot of bass type riffs on my guitar but I haven't quite got the impulse yet.
I recently moved out to the Seattle area and I am excited to check out the music scene here. If you are around the Seattle area, I love meeting new people and jamming (the shameless self promotion begins).
Right now my setup includes:
- Guitar - Yamaha RGX A2
- Computer Interface - Line 6 Toneport UX2
- Recording/Mixing Software - Reaper
- Drum Software - Acoustica Beatcraft
I am currently ampless. My little Kustom 10 watt amp amp would probably cost more to ship than it was worth so I decided I would just buy a new amp. Hopefully I will have a new amp soon.
My music tastes are all over the place but a safe bet is that I will like anything labeled as "progressive", "experimental" or "metal", although there are certainly exceptions to the rule. The short list of favorite bands/influences include Tool, Opeth, Queens of the Stone Age, RX Bandits, Alice in Chains and Porcupine Tree.
Right now my music goals are to write more music (including lyrics... ugh), get invovled with a band and start gigging. Hopefully this blog will keep me on track and share my experiences with you guys, which will help everyone involved.
Well thats all for now!
Brandon
