Hi guys
Well.. after long time visiting and reading the forum... I´ve decide to register yesterday becuase I´m looking for one model guitar... but well.. there´s always a first time so I decide to make things right fianlly and register definetely.. so you will be seen me as much as I can.. one can not live just sitting in front of compouter all day but I will do my best when playing and domestic life allow me some time. As references I´m member in oter forums as: Kramerforum, Jemsite, IBCW.. always under the same nick so it´s pretty easy we can cross our paths in other places..
What more can I say.. I´m Spanish and play lead guitar on a band called "Magia Negra". Basically we made covers from bands like Winger, Whitesnake, Dokken, Cinderrella, White Lion and all this 80´s hair stuff. We try to bring to this dates the 80´s golden era of music to this moment where in music almost nobody is soloing
My main influences are: early John Petrucci.. I mean... I love the sound of melodic solos combining some jazz and blues phrases form first 4 cds. Then after changing to MM he seems more onterested in go to gym and just simply speeding on soloing.. so of course.. JP is a monster but for me lately it´s quite boring. Also other guy with strong influence to me is Reb Beach. What a great musician and player in my opinion a little underrated even when he´s very popular. Just hurry up and take a look at the Dokken "live from sun" live show dvd... the job he is doing with guitar is awesome. I can tell you hundreds of people but to say a few ones more: Ritchie Kotzen, Steve Morse, Steve Howe, Shawn Lane, Greg Howe,
Lately I´m more into jazz, must be the age.. I´m getting old...
so I like to much Jim Hall, McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, Birelly Lagrene, Sylvian Luc and all great old players and even also the old swing big bands.
I have a few guitars but I don´t like to complicate too much with rack stuff or pedals. I used for years big racks and lot of effects etc... but realize there are mnost unnecessary pieces that weights a ton for transport.. so I don´t need it at the end. Why have an ADA MP1 and a Marshall JMP1, a TC G major, a Rocktron Vodoo... if I can have same pure hard rock sound with my amp?? Too many units to get same result. I choose the right one amp for me wich one I can have the hard rock pure sound I want... so for this I have a Laney AOR 100 II from late eighties that just simply rocks and is very versatile. Pure hard rock sound. Then for more high gain metal sounds I use a Peavey 5150. For recording mainly I have at home a Rivera 55/12 wich is perfect.. combines the clean tones of a Fender amp so it´s perfect for jazz and also the Mesa big sound for distortion. Just I add only a few pedals: one wah, delay and the whammy II and on rack a tuner, furman and bbe maximizer... that´s all... sound directed from amp to guitar and fingers.
I´m a proud father and family is very important for me. Not too much in religion but strong values. Here are some pics with my son Arturo. I´m teaching him now and is amazing experience. Soon in a few days I will be daddy again .. I willl et you know the news. This time is a girl
Here are some pics with him. We have a funny evening.
Well that´s all folks.
Cheers¡¡
