Amateur guitarist of 22+ years. Ended up as a software developer to pay the bills.
An old light wood Ibanez S is my primary guitar, I have a glossy purple Washburn Electric that has super heavy strings and is drop-C tuned, and my Acoustic is an Ibanez as well.
Acid, Sound Forge
Creative Audigy with the drive bay unit for I/O. Plugged into a Dell XPS 420 Q6600 system.
The remastered Queensryche 1 album.
Van Halen 1 when I was 10 years old on 8-track. The Eruption solo was the monumental.
Steve Vai's Flexible some years later. I heard Attitude Song on a pullout plastic record in Guitar Player Magazine.
Hendrix, Rhodes, Van Halen, Satriani, Vai, Petrucci, Robert Johnson
Me. I tend to have a Satriani sound when I am in distortion mode but I play a lot different scales than he does. I tend to stick with Mixolydian which I think I got from listening to Steve Vai.
