I've been a member for a couple days and feel it's fitting to finally introduce myself. My name is Brandon, I've been self taught guitarist for about 17 years, and not nearly as good as I should be. I never picked up on scales and soloing (I really need to get some lessons!), but have writen some decent tunes (not tooting my own horn, just what I've been told).
My gear has been budget or gifted, which are (no seven or eight strings yet, hopefully soon);
Hohner L75 with 2 double Symour Duncans and grover tuners and a cap to give a deeper tone (picked it up at a garage sale for $25 and added the pickups and tuner heads)
Kramer Stryker 100st (first electric given to me by my uncle)
Fender Strat Squire Pro-tone series black with gold colored hardware (x-mas present)
Ibanez Artwood acoustic '82 (Picked up at a garage sale with a spider bass for $120)
Samick Acoustic (another gift)
And a Crate practice amp (used to have a cab, but it was stolen
)
My style is mostly rhythm ( I can sing and play ) mixed with metal and prog. I've writen around 50 plus songs over the years, but only a handfull that I've actually considered decent enough to play for people. I've moved so much that it's hindered any chance at putting a band together (let alone the gear limitations). My inspirational bands and albums are as follows (in no particular order);
King Diamond - House of God
Metallica - Kill 'em All through And Justic for all
Iron Maiden - Powerslave was the biggest for me
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Trivium - Shogun (recent)
Tool - Aenima
Judas Priests - Sad Wings of Destiny
Bruce Dickenson - Accident of Birth
Megadeth - Rust in Peice
Mercyful Fate - In the Shadows
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Testament - Practice what you Preach
Dethklok - great lulz with some great music
Rammstein
Slipknot
Clint Mansell
Alice in Chains
All that Remains
Corrosion of Conformity
Cream
Guns n' Roses
Lamb of God
Mastodon
The Misfits
Mudvayne
The Offspring
Pearl Jam
APC
The Refreshments
Rush
Sevendust
The Smashing Pumpkins
STP
SoaD
White Zombie
And that is just what I can think of right now, lol. So hopefully I can bring somthing here and also learn a bit more. My hohner is tuned to C Standard right now (and somtimes drop tune it to, I think it is A#), so I do want a 7 string eventually, just need the funds, but an actual amp is more imperative right now.

to the forum!
What sort of things are you looking to learn?
couldn't ever seem to get the drum machine in Ableton Live 6 to cooperate. And I could never get the tracks to balance without clipping, so sounds as if you're listening to them from another room inside a box, lol. But they're scratch tracks... that took WAY to long to make.
