Hello to all you fine folks, and thanks for letting me post.
My name is Bruce, I live in southern California, I have been playing guitars for about 25 years now (started as a little guy). I landed my first 7 string (an UV777BK as seen below) about 7 years ago. I love to play music, but software brings in the money to keep strings on the instruments.
I am lucky enough to have a wife that really likes my playing, and encourages me a lot. I have been reading here for a while before I registered, I think this is a very neat board with some good folks. I am a bit of a gear head and technical wonk, so I sometimes focus more on the technology and mechanics and neglect the art side of things.
My current project is attempting to meld some metal with some bagpipes & Scottish folk structures, songs based on running around wearing a kilt, drinking, killing your enemies. So far it does not work as well as we had hoped, but we are continuing to work on it. I promise to post MP3s of it (for you daring types) as soon as we have something I think is not crap.
Thanks all for welcoming me; I hope to contribute where I can.
